NEC Display Solutions Introduces Premium 24- And 19-Inch Desktop LCD Displays

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial LCD and plasma displays and projectors, announced today the launch of its new 24-inch MultiSync EA241WM widescreen LCD monitor and 19-inch MultiSync EA191M standard-format LCD monitor. These are the third and fourth MultiSync EA Series products to be introduced, following the launch of the 26-inch EA261WM in June and 22-inch EA221WM in September.

“The EA Series displays enable heightened productivity and provide compatibility for today and tomorrow.”

The wide-format MultiSync EA241WM is a premium enterprise display that features 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m² brightness and full 1080p high-definition 1920 x 1200 native resolution. Its widescreen design complements the growing trend of wide-format applications and helps users realize greater productivity, especially when viewing spreadsheets and working simultaneously in multiple/side-by-side application windows.

The MultiSync EA191M, a standard-format (5:4 aspect ratio) desktop display boasting a top-of-the-line PVA panel, is ideal for the financial and specialty markets with its 1500:1 contrast ratio, four-way ergonomic capabilities (height, swivel, tilt, pivot) and integrated speakers. The EA191M features a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 and brightness of 250 cd/m².

“The EA241WM and EA191M complete the MultiSync EA Series with high-end features for business users who require top performing monitors with enhanced screen performance and full ergonomics,” said Lynn Gu, Product Manager at NEC Display Solutions. “The EA Series displays enable heightened productivity and provide compatibility for today and tomorrow.”

As with its other EA Series models, NEC has registered the MultiSync EA241WM and EA191M displays as EPEAT Gold and Silver, respectively. As an EPEAT requirement, both displays are also ENERGY STAR^® compliant. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. By leveraging NEC’s ECO Mode™, users can lower power consumption and the amount of waste heat released into the environment. The built-in carbon footprint meter informs and motivates responsible use of the display by calculating and tracking carbon savings.
