NEC Display Solutions Introduces New Enterprise Desktop LCD Monitors; New MultiSync 5-Series Desktop Displays Deliver Great Performance, Great Value to Desktop Computing.

CHICAGO -- NEC Display Solutions of America, the leading stand-alone provider of flat panel desktop displays, today unveiled a new line of MultiSync LCD monitors for enterprise customers. With 8 millisecond response times, advanced imaging technology and improved panel quality, the MultiSync 5-Series flat-panel LCD displays (viewable at the Consumer Electronics Show 2006 (Booth No. 25112) in Las Vegas January 5 - 8), promise to enhance the user experience and provide business users with an exceptional screen experience at a great price.

NEC's Ambix dual-input technology brings versatility to the 5-Series by bridging the gap between analog and digital systems, providing users compatibility with the computer systems of today while offering the readiness for the digital applications of tomorrow. While the 5-Series doesn't have the high-end functionality the award-winning 70 Series displays do, they provide general-purpose computing users with all of the quality and reliability that the NEC MultiSync brand delivers.

"The new NEC MultiSync 5-Series product family, consisting of the MultiSync LCD175VX, MultiSync LCD195VX, and multimedia MultiSync LCD175VXM displays, is designed to give our enterprise customers the superior performance they have come to expect from the NEC MultiSync brand at an exceptional price point," said Clinton Wilhight, Senior Product Manager, NEC Display Solutions. The new LCD family, along with the advanced, feature-rich MultiSync 70-Series, creates a broad display portfolio that is able to satisfy nearly every business need. "These new displays deliver smooth, vivid images in a great looking design making them perfect for general-purpose computing."

Controls for the MultiSync 5-Series are designed to be easy-to-read and use. The On-Screen Manager (OSM) provides clear and simple to understand menus that put users in easy control of their screen setting adjustments.

        uninterrupted, undistorted viewing of high-speed, full-motion

        screen performance
