Display Uses Ambient Light Sensor for Automated Brightness, One-Touch Button for ECO Mode Settings

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, announced today a 23-inch desktop display with the launch of the MultiSync® EA231WMi, a 16:9 widescreen monitor for use in enterprise business environments, education and government applications.

“Our innovative 23-inch product offers a variety of new technologies to our desktop line, bringing the best features available to our customers and achieving the highest standards for ergonomics and environmental friendliness”

This high-end enterprise monitor debuts several advanced features, starting with an IPS panel, which enables an outstanding viewing angle and image stability.
