NEC Display Solutions has released a 55-inch display, the MultiSync  X554HB, designed for use in areas with high ambient lighting.
The display features a brightness of 2700 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of  5,000:1. Additional features include:
    - DVI-D, RGB (mini  D-sub 15-pin), HDMI and DisplayPort 1.2 connectivity, along with a  built-in Open Pluggable Specification slot; 
 
    - NFC sensor to reduce installation costs; and
 
    - Quarter-lambda optimal film to improve  readability for users wearing polarized sunglasses.
 
"Integrated into this unit are self-diagnosing and real-time  temperature sensors that link to five thermodynamic cooling fans and act as a  system to dissipate standing heat that can build up within the display,"  according to a news release. "On top of that, the liquid crystal panel  itself contains a higher than conventional temperature rating of 110°C, which  will greatly reduce the risk of the panel going isotropic in direct sunlit  applications."
Available this month for $5,299, the X554HB comes with a three-year limited  parts and labor warranty.
