NEC Display Solutions announced the availability of the C651Q and V654Q, large-format 4K UHD displays built with commercial-grade features and a thinner, lighter mechanical design. The new C and V Series models feature 24/7 runtime capability, an anti-reflective high haze coating, full external control and network capabilities through LAN, and both landscape and portrait orientation support for presentation purposes or digital signage use.

The C651Q is especially designed for presentation purposes in corporate, retail, and house of worship settings due to its 400 cd/m² brightness and 4K UHD resolution. This makes the display suitable for high ambient light situations and close distance viewing.

The V654Q has 500 cd/m² brightness and 4K UHD resolution making it suited for digital signage applications in situations where higher brightness is needed, such as retail, transportation, and healthcare settings.

Both the C and V Series models features updated connectivity that offers full external control via LAN or RS232 interfaces, in addition to a SpectraView Engine, NEC’s proprietary color management and stabilization system that provides color control and uniformity correction. This makes the C and V Series models useful for broadcast applications or whenever color accuracy is necessary for branding.

Both the C and V Series models also include an OPS and the SoC Powered by Raspberry Pi slots for modular expansion, giving users a wide range of content possibilities.

Both models also feature advanced connectivity, including three HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.2 connections, plus one DisplayPort out that powers a 60 Hz signal for UHD performance via a single cable. The displays also have an integrated ambient light sensor and an integrated media player via USB or SD Card. These displays are also built with a full metal chassis and convenient carrying handles for easier installation.

PMA Research, market data experts for the large-format display industry, reports that U.S. sales of professional displays featuring 4K UHD resolution have more than doubled from a year ago.
