NEC CRV43 Review

Summary

The NEC CRV43 is a first of its kind at 43 inches wide and seamlessly curved. This amount of screen viewing pleasure does not come cheap though, at $7,999.00 you could probably supply a small town with standard monitors for about the same price. You cannot deny the CRV43 unique features though, the curved surface is one of a kind and takes care of the annoying gaps that you encounter when using dual monitors.


We haven’t had a chance to fully test this product yet, but we’ve assembled this helpful overview of relevant information on it.

Wrap Your Mind Around NEC’s 43-inch Curved LCD Monitor

Wrap Your Mind Around NEC

Tired of having opponents sneak up on you when you know your peripheral vision would have picked them up? Or just need lots of space for windows, palettes, documents, toolbars, and utilities when editing video? Or just need to have a really cool sign for your store? NEC has formally announced its CRV43 43-inch curved LCD monitor, offering a 2,880 by 900-pixel native resolution for a truly immersive computing experience. Although NEC isn’t aiming the display specifically at gamers, the company does see potential for such enormous displays in places were users now routinely use multiple displays to extend their desktops, including enterprise, professional graphics, education, government, and (of course) command and control and dispatching operations,

NEC Cutting 20,000 Jobs

NEC Cutting 20,000 Jobs

Japanese electronics giant NEC has announced it plans to lay off some 20,000 workers, withdraw from some businesses, and shut down factories as a result of the poor global economic climate. About 9,500 of the layoffs will come come from staff in Japan, about 450 from early retirement, and another 9,000 will come from NEC’s international operations. The company has not announced what operations and businesses it plans to shut down, but has promised its shareholders “substantial reform” at NEC Electronics, the company’s chip fabrication division.

NEC’s Eye Flavor Signage is Watching You

We’re used to thinking of advertising as a one-way street—consumers view ads. But electronics giant NEC thinks turnaround is fair play: Now, the ads are watching consumers. The company has recently announced its oddly-named "eye flavor" all-in-one digital signage board, which combines a large LCD display with a camera, streaming controller, and facial recognition software to both tailor display ads to the perceived gender and age range of viewers…but also to measure how interested the viewers are in particular advertisements.

NEC Debuts Budget P221W Pro Color LCD

NEC Debuts Budget P221W Pro Color LCD

When typical computer users—and especially gamers—look for a new LCD monitor, they want to maximize certain specifications like response time, brightness, and contrast, without breaking the bank. NEC’s new MultiSync P221W takes the opposite approach: it doesn’t offer gamer-friendly specs, but it is capable of displaying 96 percent of the AdobeRGB color gamut at a price that won’t put color professionals into bankruptcy court. The monitor represents the first member of a new P-series of MultiSync monitors from NEC.

“Built upon the success of the 90 Series displays, the new MultiSync P Series has features specifically designed for the professional graphics user,” said NEC Display Solutions product manager Stan Swiderski, in a statement.

NEC Debuts Budget Commercial Displays

Plenty of companies build commercial-grade displays that will run nonstop, survive high temperatures, rain, spills, public mischief, but all that torture testing never comes cheap. Most run for many times as much as their consumer-grade equivalents. NEC released a new line of commercial displays on Tuesday designed to meet the same rugged standards, but without the commercial-grade price tag.

NEC Lights Up Two New Projectors

NEC Lights Up Two New Projectors

NEC Display Solutions has announced two new projectors aimed at the corporate and education markets where the ability to quickly set up a projector—and tear it down again without burning your hands—are of prime importance. The new NP41 and NP61 provide 2300 and 3000 lumens of brightness, respectively, and offer one-touch image optimization for getting up and running in a hurry. Even better, they’re quiet, putting out just 32db of sound while running in ECO mode.

"The NP41 and NP61 projectors provide the powerful features required by mobile users while remaining lightweight and cost-effective," said NEC Display Solutions product manager Rich McPherson, in a statement. "Their automatic features deliver the technological innovation expected of NEC products, delivering bright and brilliant images."

NEC Rolls Out 26-Inch WUXGA LCD Display

NEC Rolls Out 26-Inch WUXGA LCD Display

NEC has introduced its new MultiSync EA261Wm LCD display, offering a WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixel) resolution on a 26-inch LCD panel mainly aimed at the business and enterprise market—but there’s no reason the rest of us can’t give it a little consideration as well.

“The new MultiSync EA Series brings premium NEC quality to those users who demand exceptional technology, rich features, top performance and high productivity,” said NEC Display Solutions product manager Lynn Gu, in a statement. “This exciting new series demonstrates our commitment to bringing the highest quality desktop displays to the enterprise market.”

NEC Puts Some Heart Into LCDs

NEC LCD Technologies has announced a new technology designed to enable LCD display manufacturers to more easily create complicated, non-rectangular display shapes. Although round and irregularly-shaped LCDs have been around for a while, the standard LCD panel is still rectangular, and most of the size and thickness reductions over the last few years have brought new focus on those rectangular panels, simply because that’s the simplest shape for managing pixel arrays, along with their associated circuitry and drivers.

NEC Announces 2.7-inch HD LCD Display

NEC Announces 2.7-inch HD LCD Display

Folks who love the idea of watching video or television on mobile phones or portable media devices but who are continually irked that those little tiny portable displays can’t handle HD content just received a reprieve from electronics giant NEC. NEC LCD Technologies has just announced a 2.7-inch LCD display that offers a 960 by 540 pixel resolution—that’s a whopping 413 pixels per inch. NEC envisions the panel—which bears the memorable part number NL9654HL06-01J—being used as a viewfinder on high-definition camcorders, enabling users to more accurately set focus and check colors on a built-in display. But, of course, portable media fans immediately want to know when the display might start popping up in phones and portable media players.
