Virtual Press Office has published an excellent article about NEC’s new LCD display model:
NEC Corporation unveils a new LCD display model enhanced by more than 30 advanced features of the Digital Signage Technology Suite that allow it to stand out in heavily-lit environments.
With a brightness measurement at 1500 cd/m² and remarkable contrast ratio of 3500:1, the MultiSync X461HB boasts 110% higher brightness than NEC’s previous-generation displays. The MultiSync X Series display is ideal for environments heavy with ambient light, such as corporate lobbies, atriums and restaurants.
The MultiSync X461HB includes ambient light sensor technology, which automatically adjusts the backlight depending on the ambient lighting brightness and maximizes the power management feature. Its advanced thermal protection begins with an extra thermal layer on the display panel to diffuse heat and follows with a fan-based technology specifically designed to work in both landscape and portrait modes. Internal temperature sensors control self-protective circuits, while special self-diagnostics communicate the status of thermal characteristics. The thermal protection can be monitored and controlled both locally and remotely.
The MultiSync X461HB includes the following features:
* Professional-grade LCD panel and components for the most demanding digital signage industry requirements
* 1360 x 768 WXGA native resolution in true 16:9 aspect ratio
* Brightness of 1500 cd/m2
* Contrast ratio of 3500:1 (typical)
* Built-in expansion slot, which allows for seamless integration of current and future NEC accessories and third-party components
* Sealed panel design, which provides protection against dust, grease and steam in less than optimal environments
* Carbon footprint meter, which informs and motivates responsible use of the display by calculating and tracking carbon savings
* Ethernet Control and Communication technology, which provides the highest level of remote display management and includes such features as automatic email notification for diagnostic purposes
* Diverse input connectors, which allow for maximum compatibility and flexibility during product implementation
* Improved auto-detection scheme, which quickly finds new connections and allows for user customization of input selection
* Optional speakers and stand
The MultiSync X461HB is backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty including the backlight and will be available for July 2009 shipment with estimated street price of $3,899.

From PRWeb Press Release Newswire comes this timely and relevant – it’s golf season, after all! – article about Lionhead Golf and Country Club’s decision to use ScreenScape’s digital signage solutions in their Brampton, Ontario, facility:
May 10, 2009 — ScreenScape Networks announced today that Lionhead Golf and Country Club has deployed ScreenScape’s venue networking solution in their world class golf facility in Brampton, Ontario.
“ScreenScape is providing Lionhead with an innovative and cost effective service which allows us to showcase all of our products, services and events on LCD display screens in our clubhouse. ScreenScape is a real time-saver for the staff and is extremely easy to use,” said John Dickie, Director of Sales and Marketing for KaneffGolf. He continued, “Previously, we ran a closed network signage solution that required the staff to manually update each screen at each location. ScreenScape now allows us to easily manage the content via the Internet from our corporate office. The ScreenScape platform can also scale to accommodate all of our other locations throughout Ontario when we are ready to bring them online. Better yet, at the click of a mouse we have the ability to bring in 3rd party content from partners, sponsors and even golf equipment manufacturers.”
Lionhead Golf and Country Club chose ScreenScape for their ability to deliver a consistent message throughout all properties while having the flexibility to customize their message for an individual location as required. Currently, Lionhead is using their screens to draw attention to their golf related services and to highlight their clubhouse and all of its amenities which are ideal for corporate events, banquets, seminars, private parties and weddings.
“We couldn’t be happier about Lionhead joining our network. The Kaneff name has been synonymous with quality and commitment to excellence for over 50 years. Their selection of ScreenScape is a tribute to our ability to assist them in their mission to consistently enhance customer service for their guests and corporate sponsors,” said Kevin Dwyer, President and CEO of ScreenScape. “We look forward to helping Kaneff with the deployment of ScreenScape across their other world class facilities over the coming months.”
