NEC Display Solutions of America has launched the MultiSync® X474HB,  a large-screen display bringing an engaging digital signage option for high brightness environments and sunlight-proof operation.

The 47-inch specialty LCD display is designed to  intelligently adapt to its surroundings, offering a bright, clear image when  required, without wasting energy when it's not. Offering a brightness of up to  2000 cd/m2 – nearly three times that of most other professional large-screen  displays – the X474HB is easily visible in shopping windows or cabinets for  outdoor applications.

"NEC's  X474HB display is designed to cope with the durability and readability  challenges that often arise in sunlit areas. As such, this display is ideal for  any heavy duty digital signage application that requires enhanced visual  performance, flexible control and connectivity as well as long operating hours,” said Keith   Yanke, Senior Director for Large-screen Displays and  Projectors at NEC Display Solutions.  

X474HB Benefits

• Optimal visual ergonomics  are ensured thanks to a 10-bit color S-IPS panel, which allows for deeper blacks  and better off-angle viewing
• Direct LED backlighting and  new localized dimming functionality allow for improved contrast ratio and lower  power consumption
• A Quarter-Lambda optical film  is integrated to overcome polarization of light emitted by the display. This  guarantees full readability in semi-outdoor installations for both landscape  and portrait orientations when wearing polarized sunglasses
• An NFC sensor is  incorporated into the chassis which can be addressed via a matching app for  Android devices. This will help reduce installation cost as several displays  can be easily configured before they are mounted
• Built-in OPS (Open Pluggable  Specification) option slot and expanded connectivity options, such as  DisplayPort 1.2, give installers flexibility and reduce overall setup time

• The combination of intelligent power saving and thermal management features not only reduces energy usage, but also ensures that the display aligns with NEC's Green Vision for sustainability and is as eco-friendly as possible

The X474HB display  is available now at an estimated street price of $4,149. The display ships with  a 3-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.
