NEC 46-inch X462HB Display

NEC Display Solutions of America, provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the latest addition to its X Series, the high-bright 46-inch X462HB. This professional-grade, large-screen display is designed for the rigors of 24/7 operation in a variety of applications, including outdoor digital signage, drive-thru menu boards and video walls.

The new X462HB offers a quarter-lambda polarizing film, which allows for outdoor viewing with polarized sunglasses in both landscape and portrait orientations. This is essential for quick-service restaurant (QSR) owners to ensure their customers can easily and clearly read the drive-thru menu with any type of polarized eyewear. The display's full high-definition panel, a new feature in this next generation model, brilliantly displays content.

"The improvement of NEC's high-bright display addresses the concerns of customers who require a polarized solution," said Rachel Karnani, Product Manager for Large-Screen Displays at NEC Display Solutions. "This type of model is extremely popular with retail and QSR customers requiring a bright display to accommodate high ambient lighting conditions or outdoor installations. The 1080p resolution is another upgrade that our customers will appreciate for content creation purposes."
