Large  format  LCd  public  displays  are  now  to  be  found  everywhere.  As 
information displays they can be seen in all aspects of transportation, in hotels 
and museums, on the trading floors of international finance, in the medical 
sector, as well as in the monitoring and control rooms of manufacturing plants 
and for presenting detailed simulations. 

They also find a tremendous variety of different uses at the point-of-sale in 
digital signage and retail signage applications: in department stores, shopping 
malls, bars/restaurants, fitness studios, on exhibition booths or in conference 
centres etc.

How do NeC’s public displays differ from 

conventional flat-screen TVs?

 

display solutions, particularly those in daily, continuous use, have to function 
professionally, problem-free and reliably for long periods. device malfunctions 
can often lead to costly problems and expense.

Conventional  flat-screen  televisions  have  been  designed  for  domestic  use 
and  are  rarely  made  to  operate  beyond  the  average  of  four  hours  daily  TV 
consumption.  The  maximum  continuous  stress  these  devices  have  been 
designed to operate under is only ten to twelve hours. However, NeC’s public 
displays have been designed for reliable operation over long periods of time.
TV  appliances  also  have  a  lifetime  of  approx.  27,000  hours  –  professional 
public displays have been designed for an operational running time of up to 
50,000 hours. This means a doubled product lifetime.

NeC‘s public displays in the MuLTeOS series and the MultiSync

®

 20 series 

are remarkable due to their numerous high-quality technical characteristics as 
well as their robust design. For example, a special thermal design maintains 

the  temperature  of  the  display  at  a  constant  level  so  that  even  in  extreme 
operational  environments  longevity  is  assured.  Alternatively,  the  innovative 
dust protection technology is also noteworthy. Both these aspects are rarely 
to be seen, if at all, in a flat-screen TV.

in format flexibility, NeC’s public display solutions also beat conventional flat-
screen TVs hands down. Whilst TV appliances can only be installed or placed 
on a stand in the usual 16:10 landscape format or horizontal mode, public 
displays also allow the screen to be turned through 90 degrees into portrait 
mode. This is particularly advantageous for digital signage applications.
