ITASCA, IL - NEC
Display Solutions of America (www.necdisplay.com) showed a prototype of a new
26-inch LCD display at SIGGRAPH. The LCD2690WUXi will be a part of the
company’s MultiSync 90-Series of professional LCD monitors when it ships in
October. The existing 90-Series already includes 19-, 20- and 21-inch (pictured) models
that produce crisper and clearer images than those displayed on the MultiSync
80-Series. The line also offers increased energy efficiency, along with better
control and connectivity.
NEC says the MultiSync 90-Series is designed for demanding
professional users doing graphic design. Its in-plane switching (IPS)
technology delivers impressive color reproductivity, contrast levels,
gray-to-gray response times and brightness uniformity by minimizing off-angle
color shift by producing clearer black tones in dark-colored images. Its
vertical alignment (VA) LCD module technology offers high image quality, high
contrast ratios and fast response times in a cost-effective solution.
The upcoming 26-inch model will be priced around $1,700. NEC
also has plans to release a 24-inch LCD in November for around $1,500. A
four-year warranty comes standard with all IPS-based models.
