Sharp NEC Display Solutions

CHICAGO - June 23, 2010 - NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today that its X461UN-TMX4 video wall and its VUKUNET ad-serving platform garnered industry awards at InfoComm 2010, the largest professional audio-visual tradeshow in the world.

NEC's 2x2 TileMatrixTM video wall, comprised of 46-inch ultra-narrow bezel displays, was selected by readers of Rental & Staging Systems Magazine as the Best Plasma or LCD Display. NEC's VUKUNET platform was selected by Systems Contractor News readers as one of the Most Innovative Digital Signage Products. Both magazines are publications of NewBay Media.

NEC Display Solutions recently made its full VUKUNET digital signage software management platform available, free of charge, to any network operator.

Each year, manufacturers across the professional AV and digital signage industries send nominations in several categories while a panel of industry experts narrows the list. Readers then vote for the finalists online, and the winners are chosen from the public votes.

"We're grateful that readers of these prestigious publications have once again acknowledged NEC products making an impact in their daily work as audio-visual professionals," said Ashley Flaska, Vice President of Marketing for NEC Display Solutions. "The video wall and VUKUNET platform speak to the innovation upon which NEC has built its reputation."

2010 marked the fourth consecutive year that NEC has received at least one InfoComm award. In 2009, the MultiSync® LCD8205 won the award for Best Digital Signage Product. In 2008, the company's 65-inch MultiSync LCD6520 earned top honors in the category of Best Plasma or LCD display after the company's 60-inch PlasmaSyncTM 60XM5 professional plasma display earned the distinction in 2007.
