MultiSync LCD2690WUXi and NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi Deliver Premium Color Performance to Professional Markets CHICAGO -- NEC Display Solutions of America, the No. 1 best-selling, worldwide monitor supplier to the specialty markets in 2005(a), announced the extension of its award-winning 90-series with the NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi (25.5" VIS) and LCD2490WUXi (24.1" VIS) wide-screen monitors. The LCD2690WUXi is the first 26-inch widescreen desktop monitor in the marketplace. The new displays qualify as Windows Vista PREMIUM monitors and are positioned within the company's high-end professional line. They are compatible with both of NEC's display calibration software packages: SpectraView II and GammaComp MD (each sold separately). Featured technology includes HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) An encryption system for enforcing digital rights management (DRM) over DVI and HDMI interfaces. The copy protection system (DRM) resides in the computer, DVD player or set-top box. (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which is supported through the DVI-D (DVI-Digital) See DVI. connector that allows for use with HDCP-equipped devices and encrypted content. Both models unveil an all new feature, X-Light Pro, which utilizes the display's internal luminance and color sensor to achieve a consistent light output level for the useful life of the display. Both models feature 1920 x 1200 native resolution (2.3 MP), and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Poised to address the demanding medical, graphics, pre-production film, financial, and broadcast industries, the new displays use the most advanced technologies available, including in-plane switching (IPS) module technology. IPS-based modules, arguably the highest performing LCD technology available on the market, deliver unparalleled color reproduction and brightness uniformity by minimizing off-angle color shift and by producing clearer black tones in dark-colored images, as well as linear response times at all brightness levels and colors. The LCD2690WUXi has a 92 percent gamut versus NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. , with 93.4 percent coverage of the Adobe color triangle and 87.8 percent coverage of the NTSC color triangle.

"With the latest 26-inch and 24-inch widescreen offerings, NEC maintains its market leadership and innovation in high-end professional displays," said Todd Fender, Product Line Manager for NEC Display Solutions of America. "The displays raise the performance bar in these image-critical markets, and deliver the features and improvements these professionals demand." Designed for professionals who rely on image excellence, both of the new NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi and LCD2690WUXi displays feature a 12-bit Look-Up Table (LUT (LookUp Table) An array or matrix of values that contains data that is searched. See index and color palette. ) for unparalleled color breadth and depth, and ColorComp for improved color, brightness and grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in uniformity. The new MultiSync LCD2490WUXi and LCD2690WUXi models include the following features: * 12-bit internal LUT - allows very precise adjustments to be made to the display's Tone Response Curve without reducing the number of displayable colors as well as allowing for non-video card calibration * AmbiBright - automatically adjusts the display's backlight, based on the ambient environment lighting to achieve optimal viewing brightness and energy conservation * Ambix3[R] - Triple-input technology allows all three inputs: VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. , DVI-D & DVI-I (DVI-Integrated) See DVI. to be connected and switched between on a single display * Black Level Adjustment - creates black levels to more closely resemble those of a CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. * ColorComp - Digitally compensates individual pixels for slight variations in the white and color uniformity levels of the display, resulting in greater image accuracy * Digital CableComp - allows extended DVI-D cables, of up to 30 meters (or 100 meter analog cables), to be utilized without any image degradation or distortion * Multi-Directional Controls - easily accessible horizontal and vertical control buttons for simple on-screen management in either landscape or portrait modes * Eco-Mode - allows users or administrators to dim back light to brightness level pre-sets of 75 percent or 50 percent, which reduces power consumption and yields longer product life * GammaComp - allows for selectable preset or customized gamma curves to be displayed, including the DICOM (medical, standard) DICOM - (From Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) A standard developed by ACR-NEMA (American College of Radiology - National Electrical Manufacturer's Association) for communications between medical imaging devices. GSDF GSDF Ground Self-Defense Force (Japan) GSDF Glenwood Springs Dance Festival curve * GammaComp MD Supported - calibratable to DICOM for medical applications * Height Adjustable Stand - extended-range, 150 mm height adjustment range allows unprecedented ergonomic flexibility * OSD Lockout - All functions, including power, can be locked out at the display for greater setting security * Overdrive - Improves gray-to-gray response time for better gaming and full-motion video experience * Quick-release stand - for easy mounting on third-party arms or wall mounts * RoHS & WEEE WEEE Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment (directive) WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Compliant - The Professional 90-Series complies with these e-waste standards, ensuring easier, more environmentally friendly product transitions * Standard four-year limited warranty * Ultra-Thin Bezel - A bezel width as low as 16.9 mm makes the 90-Series ideal for multiple-monitor configurations, including PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. or tiling installations Each new display is RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) compliant, containing fully disposable plastics and minimal amounts of hazardous materials such as lead, hex-chrome, cadmium, mercury, PBDE PBDE Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether PBDE Pentabromodiphenyl Ether (flame retardant additive in plastics) PBDE Parallel Block-Decodable Encoder and PBB PBB: see polybrominated biphenyl. . The displays are available for February 2007 shipment with estimated street prices of $1,699.99 for the NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi and $1,499.99 for the LCD2490WUXi. SpectraView models also will be available in February 2007. The units will include a colorimeter A device that measures the red, green and blue values of color. See colorimetry and color calibration.
