NEC Display Solutions Introduces 65-inch Commercial Grade LCD for Information Display and Digital Signage Applications

MultiSync LCD6520 Delivers Full HD 1080p Image Performance, Digital Signage Technology Suite Functionality and Dynamic Expansion Capabilities

CHICAGO - NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial and residential LCD, plasma and projector displays, and a pioneer in advanced digital signage solutions, announced today its largest LCD yet, the 65-inch NEC MultiSync LCD6520. The commercial-grade display delivers a robust feature set and dynamic technology expansion capabilities.

The LCD6520 is embedded with NEC’s Digital Signage Technology Suite (DSTS), which includes more than 20 features and functions developed specifically for digital signage, making the display ideal for the transportation, corporate, medical, retail, and hospitality markets.
