NEC Display Solutions unveils 70” public display

Versatile jumbo with intelligent brightness control

Munich, 1 February 2010 – In March 2010, NEC Display Solutions will be launching the NEC MultiSync ® P701, the new, top-of-the-range model in its public display P-series. The 70” monitor has a professional grade panel, built for long-term use. With the P-series’ numerous features and expansion options, the NEC MultiSync ® P701 satisfies all the requirements of demanding digital signage, conference or control room applications.

NEC Display Solutions’ P-series, consisting of the NEC MultiSync ® P401, P461 and P521 models, will be expanded by the new flagship model P701. With its brightness of 600 cd/m2, contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, the monitor delivers digital signage content in full HD quality. This makes it ideal for size-critical implementations in retail signage, control centres or in public buildings.

The NEC MultiSync ® P701 offers all the innovative features and tried-and-tested characteristics of the P-series. Thanks to the integrated ambient light sensor, the screen brightness automatically adjusts to changing light conditions. This ensures that the display never consumes more power than necessary. The monitor features the NEC Option Slot for expansion modules such as the built-in PC or the Media Player. These slot-in devices replace external distribution equipment and cables, simplifying installation and improving overall appearance.

The inbuilt LAN interface enables network integration and thus the remote control and management of the display via the NEC control software, which is included free of charge. Also via Ethernet or the RS232 port the P701 can be calibrated with the NEC Display Wall Calibrator. In addition to all the common interfaces, the P701 also features a DisplayPort interface. This modern connectivity option works with compact connectors and enables higher bandwidths and longer connection cables.

Availability, price and warranty

The NEC MultiSync ® P701 is commercially available as from March 2010 in black or silver. NEC Display Solutions Europe offers a three year warranty for its displays including backlights.
