NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of flat panel desktop and large-screen displays, today announced its new series of professional LCD monitors - the NEC MultiSync 90-series. Designed to deliver technology-leading screen performance to image-critical markets, the new NEC MultiSync 90-series, which will replace the award-winning MultiSync 80-series, contains over 25 new or improved features that produce crisper, clearer images; enable better control and connectivity; increase energy efficiency; and provide greater adjustment versatility.
Poised to address the demanding and varying needs of professional end-users from photographers and graphic designers to engineers and radiologists, the new NEC MultiSync 90-series offers desktop displays using the most advanced technologies available, including in-plane switching (IPS) and vertical alignment (VA) LCD module technology:
* IPS-based modules, arguably the highest performing LCD technology available on the market, deliver unparalleled color reproduction and brightness uniformity by minimizing off-angle color shift and by producing clearer black tones in dark-colored images
* VA-based modules offer excellent image quality, high contrast ratios and fast response times in a cost effective solution
The new MultiSync 90-series "i" models, which use IPS-based modules, address the color critical needs of markets such as medical imaging, graphic illustration and photography. Carrying a standard four-year warranty, among the highest and most comprehensive in the industry, the MultiSync 90-series "i" models include the 19-inch MultiSync LCD1990SXi, the 20-inch (20.1 viewable) MultiSync LCD2090UXi and the 21-inch (21.3 viewable) MultiSync LCD2190UXi monitors.
The new MultiSync 90-series "p" models, utilizing VA-based modules, are well-suited to meet the needs of CAD/CAM and other users who demand high resolutions, precise images, adjustment flexibility and advanced features but may not have a need for exacting color reproduction. The MultiSync 90-series "p" models will include the 19-inch MultiSync LCD1990SXp and the 21-inch MultiSync LCD2190UXp monitors, which will carry a standard three-year warranty.
Designed for professionals who rely on image excellence, all of the new NEC MultiSync Professional 90-series displays feature a 12-bit Look-Up Table (LUT) for unparalleled color breadth and depth, ColorComp for improved color, brightness and grayscale uniformity, and an ergonomically advanced cabinet design with ultra thin bezels, pivot capability and a 150mm height adjustable stand for unsurpassed flexibility.
"NEC has a history of developing displays with leading-edge technology," said Ray Froude, Senior Product Specialist, NEC Display Solutions of America. "By involving end-users such as illustrators, animators, and radiologists in our development process, the new MultiSync Professional 90-series not only raises the performance bar in these image-critical markets, it also delivers the features and improvements these professionals demand."
In addition to new image-improvement features, the NEC MultiSync Professional 90-series also contains Eco-related features such as AmbiBright and Eco-mode that will manually or automatically adjust the display's brightness relative to the ambient lighting. These features provide optimal power management for greater energy efficiency and longer product life.

* Standard four-year limited warranty
* SpectraViewII, which delivers an advanced and easy-to-use calibration and profiling solution for color-critical applications
The new "p" series NEC Professional 90-Series features include:
