NEC announces the addition of a new size to its P Series, the expansive 70-inch P701 LCD display for digital signage. This commercial-grade display, which joins the 40-inch P401 and 46-inch P461, is designed for the rigors of 24/7 applications such as airports, public information, healthcare, rental and staging, boardrooms and some specialty professional applications where eye-catching digital signage is required.
Compared to its award-winning 65-inch MultiSync LCD6520 predecessor, this industrial strength display has a 15 percent larger screen surface, yet maintains the same low level of power consumption. Along with providing full connectivity, including DisplayPort for maximum flexibility and Ethernet connection for ease in remote monitoring, the P701 touts more than 30 built-in features in its Enhanced Digital Signage Technology Suite.
