NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES LED-BACKLIT 22-INCH DESKTOP LCD

WITH ABUNDANT GREEN FEATURES

LED-based MultiSync EA222WMe Points Toward Future Growth in LCD Industry

CHICAGO – December 1, 2009

–

NEC Display Solutions of America

, a leading provider of

commercial LCD

display and

projector

solutions, announced today its first ever LED-backlit

desktop monitor for business, education, government and healthcare markets, the 22-inch

MultiSync® EA222WMe.

LED backlighting technology enables the NEC MultiSync EA222WMe to provide the same amount

of brightness as other panel types while using 20% less power. Compared to previous generation

NEC LCDs, the EA222WMe consumes up to 52% less power, radiates up to 61% less heat,

weighs up to 25% less and uses up to 15% less packaging. The monitor and cables in this eco-

friendly display are free of mercury, halogen and arsenic. Additionally, the monitor is compliant

with ENERGY STAR 5.0, TCO 5.0 and EPEAT Gold, which solidifies its status as the most

energy-efficient desktop monitor offered by NEC.

Users will have the ability to track their carbon savings with the display’s resettable carbon

footprint meter, a unique tool that calculates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

New to

NEC’s MultiSync EA Series is the resettable cost meter, which indicates the user’s electricity cost

savings via the On Screen Display.

“The combination of these green technologies in the MultiSync EA222WMe points to the future of

where the LCD industry is headed,” said Lynn Gu, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions.

“LED backlight structure has improved tremendously along with cost reduction, and the adoption of

the LED backlight technology will continue to accelerate over the next few years.”
