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. Visit necdisplay.com for more information.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

    OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
