Press Release

NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of LCD desktop and commercial large-screen LCDs, plasma displays and projectors, announced today the addition of three new LCD monitors to its MultiSync 5 Series. These new, full-featured displays incorporate innovative technologies while delivering a superior desktop performance.

The standard-aspect 19-inch MultiSync LCD195NXM, and the wide-screen 20-inch MultiSync LCD205WNXM and 22-inch LCD225WNXM are Windows™ VISTA compatible and offer NEC’s exclusive NaViSet™ software, an intuitive graphical user interface. With this feature, users can easily adjust On Screen Manager (OSM®) display settings via mouse and keyboard, allowing users to set the monitor to specific settings for color critical programs.

"These new MultiSync 5 Series multimedia displays truly deliver price, performance and value, along with overall productivity,” said Lynn Gu, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “They incorporate most of the features of our higher-end enterprise displays, such as a four-way adjustable stand, four-port USB hub, down-firing speakers and touch-integration at a great price.”"

In order to add comfort and increase productivity, more customers are moving to larger, wide-format displays. NEC is rapidly expanding its wide-screen portfolio to meet this growing demand.

The new MultiSync LCD195NXM, LCD205WNXM, and LCD225WNXM models offer a number of specific benefits:

• Thin bezel with both standard and wide-aspect ratio for more viewing area or convenient multiple monitor configurations
• 4-way adjustable stand, featuring full height (110mm), pivot, swivel, and tilt for ergonomic positioning
• USB 2.0 hub with four USB ports, which enhance connections
• Integrated down-firing speakers supporting multimedia capability
• Touch-integration for expanded functionality
• Lower power consumption, which reduces total cost of ownership
• Unique cable management, which creates a clean and organized desk work area
• No Touch Auto Adjust™, which eliminates the hassle of adjusting screen controls when connecting displays to a new system
• WindowsTM VISTA-compatible
• Ambix dual-input technology
• NaViSet™, which provides a graphical user interface that allows users to adjust On Screen Manager (OSM®) display settings via mouse and keyboard
• Rapid-Response™ technology (5ms), which delivers virtually uninterrupted, undistorted viewing of high-speed, full-motion video
• Internal power supply
• Service+, Premium Protect, and Total Trade Customer Care programs

All MultiSync 5 Series displays are RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) compliant, containing fully disposable plastics and minimal amounts of hazardous materials, such as lead, hex-chrome, cadmium, mercury, PBDE and PBB. EPEAT Silver displays ensure reduced levels of environmental hazards and emissions of greenhouse gases.

The MultiSync LCD205WNXM and the LCD225WNXM come in black, while the 19-inch LCD195NXM is available in both black and silver/white. These products are backed by 24-hour/day, seven-day/week customer service and technical support, as well as a robust three-year warranty on all consumer products. NEC Display Solutions is among the leaders in lowest return rates and highest overall customer satisfaction.

The LCD195NXM display will be available in late November with an estimated street price of $299.99, while the LCD205WNXM and LCD225WNXM models will be available in December at $364.99 and $389.99, respectively.
