NEC announced the new MultiSync LCD2490WUXi2 and LCD2490W2-BK-SV LCD displays designed for high-end applications. Based on IPS LCD panel, these two displays are new members of the MultiSync 90 Series and SpectraViewII Series respectively. The latter includes the SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution.

Both MultiSync LCDs feature 1920×1200 Full HD resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 320cd/m2 brightness and 96.7% coverage of sRGB. LCD2490WUXi2 and LCD2490W2-BK-SV are priced at $1099 and 1299 respectively.

NEC announced in Japan the CRV43, a curved LCD monitor display, designed for use in applications such as professional graphics, higher education, government, financial, command & control and home office.The curved monitor is finally on the market for a hefty $8,000 price tag. The seamless display features 4 DLP monitors sewn together for a high-end gaming session. The CRVD-42DWX boasts a contrast ratio of 10000:1 with double WXGA+ 2880 x 900 panel and a response time of 0.02 seconds.

NEC has launched two new MultiSync LCD monitors in the form of the 24-inch MultiSync EA241WM widescreen LCD monitor and 19-inch MultiSync EA191M standard-format LCD monitor. The wide-format MultiSync EA241WM offers 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m² brightness and full 1080p high-definition 1920 x 1200 native resolution. Meanwhile, the standard-format (5:4 aspect ratio) MultiSync EA191M features a top-of-the-line PVA panel, which is ideal for the financial and specialty markets.

This display screen features 1280 x 1024 native resolution, 1500:1 contrast ratio, four-way ergonomic capabilities (height, swivel, tilt, pivot), integrated speakers, and brightness level of 250 cd/m². The MultiSync EA241WM and EA191M will be available for shipment this month for $549 and $379, respectively.

NEC today announced a new 26-inch LCD it targets at the workplace but which is also usable at home. The design is relatively accurate with coverage for 92 percent of the NTSC color gamut and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio in spite of its relative size and a 5ms pixel response time. The professional black bezel also hides downward-firing stereo speakers for users who might not have space for separate speakers. The screen is also unusually flexible for its size and pivots into portrait mode for editing text, code, or viewing large websites, while a four-port USB hub gives it room to hook up most peripherals. A DVI port with HDCP encryption for certain HD movie formats is accompanied by a VGA connector that handles most other video sources.

NEC plans to ship the black-bordered EA261WM in August for $680.

NEC has unveiled a new display it says will help both for widescreen entertainment as well as for video editors and others who need a large amount of continuous screen space. Officially referred to as the CRVD-42DWX+, the screen switches from LCD to the normally TV-oriented DLP (Digital Light Projection) to allow an extra-long, curved image without bezels; two displays combine to create a single 2880×900 area. Using the technology also has the side-benefit of very intense color accuracy and performance, NEC says: where LCDs often miss colors or exhibit lag, the 42DWX+ displays as much as 170 percent of the NTSC color range with a 12-bit range (versus 8-bit for most LCDs) and draws pixels in just 0.02 milliseconds. The display also generates a much higher than usual 10,000:1 contrast ratio. While much thicker than two LCDs, the DLP screen is relatively thin versus CRTs and weighs about 25 pounds, considerably less than dedicated DLP TVs and most similarly-sized flat-panels. NEC has formally announced the screen as a product but says it remains too early to provide a release date, price, or most other details; the use of two distinct displays is believed to require two separate DVI video connectors.

NEC today unveiled one of its largest conventional displays yet in the form of the LCD3090WQXi. The 30-inch display is built for video editors or nearly any user concerned with faithful above all else. Through new 12-bit color processing and a new backlight, the screen accurately paints 102 percent of the NTSC color gamut and nearly 98 percent of the Adobe RGB space, by NEC’s estimates.

It also actively corrects color uniformity problems and other issues. Dual DVI video inputs provide the LCD with either a pure digital signal, with HDCP encryption for Blu-ray and other protected HD video formats, or else a dual-mode analog and digital output for content that can go without the extra copy protection measures. NEC notes that the display includes a connection that can accept most color calibration hardware without plugging into a computer itself, and expects the 3090WQXi to ship in February at a price of $2,200.Here is a pictures of LCD2690WUXi
