The CEDIA 2007 electronics show may still be days away, but that hasn’t kept many companies from revealing their product line-ups before the show to give consumers a taste of what to expect. NEC kept that trend up on Thursday by announcing three new lines of plasma displays that will be on display at the expo.
The MultiSync Residential series features 40- and 46-inch models with full 1080p resolution. NEC intends the displays to function as both conventional HDTVs and large-screen computer monitors. Interchangeable black and silver bezels give consumers the option of changing the TV for the room or their tastes.
The larger PlasmaSync Residential series will offer monitors in 42-, 50- and 60-inch sizes. NEC emphasizes the video performance of the displays, which can even be optimized through calibration controls that adjust for day and night viewing. All sets include a HDMI input with HDCP, removable top and bottom bezels to switch the cabinet to all black, and RS-232 input and output.
The AccuSync Multimedia series serves as NEC’s new budget line of displays. Displays in this line will come in 32-, 40- and 46-inch varieties. They all feature integrated HD tuners, detachable surround speakers, and dual HDMI inputs.
Prices for the new displays have not yet been announced.
