NEC Display Solutions of America, a  leading provider of commercial LCD  display and projector solutions, announced today  the MultiSync® X981UHD  display, a 98-inch ultra-high-definition (UHD) model with features and  functionality to help organizations see their content in a whole new way.

The X981UHD display – with  a 3840 x 2160 native resolution – delivers four times the resolution of full  HD, and coupled with its 60 Hz refresh rate through a DisplayPort connection,  gives viewers an immersive experience and clarity they have not seen before.

NEC Display is bringing the  award-winning color adjustment capabilities of its high-end professional  graphics displays to digital signage.  Through  the new SpectraView Engine, organizations have the ability to manipulate the  color of certain sections within the display to enhance their business needs.  This allows them greater flexibility with providing more realistic and visually  appealing content when colors matter most.

The display also has the  ability to enhance content non-native to the resolution of the panel.  Expanding on normal upscaling, when a full   high-definition signal is brought into the system, the new UHD Upscaling  feature takes into account the brightness and color of surrounding pixels and  adjusts the target pixels accordingly to provide an even sharper and richer  image. This is ideal when the display is used for presentation purposes as not  every source involved will output native UHD.   In addition, if multiple sources need to be viewed concurrently, Multi Picture  Mode can be enabled allowing up to four sources to exhibit simultaneously on  the display.  These sources can be   rotated and resized allowing flexibility for branding objectives in retail,  video conferencing in corporate, and monitoring in command and control.

“The new 98-inch UHD  display is not only our largest display to date, but also our most  state-of-the-art as far as features and functionality,” said Keith Yanke,  Senior Director of Product Marketing at NEC Display.  “NEC is bringing new aspects to its large  screen display lineup, including full 3840 x 2160/60Hz playback, its  SpectraView Engine, and Multi Display Mode options which truly set the display  apart from other UHD displays on the market.”
