The X651UHD LCD display delivers 4K/UHD resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate through a DisplayPort connection, making it perfect for a wide range of industrial applications. And the LiFT L015Si video wall provides crystal clear images for the ultimate visual experience, thanks to upgradeable pixel cards, black SMD LEDs, and front service modules for flexible installation in hard-to-reach places.

Newbay Media delivered a Best of Show InfoComm16 Award (Digital Signage) for the NEC X554HB High Brightness Display, which delivers superior brightness and 1080p native resolution, ideal for digital signage and messaging in high ambient light applications.
