NEC’s 82-Inch LCD Display Named Best Digital Signage Product at InfoComm 09

Rental & Staging Systems Readers Vote MultiSync LCD8205 Tops in Its Category

CHICAGO --(Business Wire)-- Jun 29, 2009 NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, today announced that its MultiSync® LCD8205 professional-grade display was named the Best Digital Signage Product at InfoComm 09, the largest professional audio-visual tradeshow in the world.

NEC’s expansive 82-inch display, which delivers rich color and amazing clarity, was selected by readers of Rental & Staging Systems Magazine, a publication of NewBay Media. Each year, manufacturers across the professional AV and digital signage industries send nominations in several categories while a panel of industry experts narrows the list. Readers then vote for the finalists online, and the winners are chosen from the public votes.

“Rental & Staging Systems readers have bestowed another great honor on NEC Display Solutions with their selection of the LCD8205 display as Best Digital Signage Product,” said Jean McLaughlin, Senior Product Line Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “The massive 82-inch display delivers the ‘wow-factor’ for companies and organizations seeking to convey brand messages in an eye-catching, large format.”

The LCD8205 can be installed in either portrait or landscape orientation and tiled together for a video wall in up to a 4x4 matrix, creating an impressive video canvas of 328 inches diagonal viewable area. An automatic ambient light sensor also monitors changing light conditions to subtly optimize the brightness level to the environment.

2009 marked the third consecutive year that NEC has received an InfoComm award. In 2008, the company’s 65-inch MultiSync LCD6520 won honors for Best Plasma/LCD display. In 2007, the company’s 60-inch PlasmaSync™ 60XM5 professional plasma display won an award.
