Tweet

Having just covered the newly introduced 22″ NEC MultiSync E222W LCD Monitor we felt somewhat obliged to also offer you a heads up concerning NEC’s new, curved (and distinctly larger/less eco-friendly) monitor – the NEC CRV-43 – which offers up 43″ of real estate courtesy of a contoured 32:10 aspect ratio (double WGXA) display.

Billed as offering ‘an extremely immersive experience’, the NEC CRV-43 Curved Display is touted as being ideal for digital imaging applications as well as ‘command & control’ (Bond villains take note).

NEC CRV-43 Curved Display Features:

• Seamless curved screen, which eliminates bezel and screen gap issues for increased productivity and decreased frustration (according to Center for Human-Computer Interaction – Shupp et al, presented at Graphics Interface 2006)
• 2880 x 900 double WXGA native resolution
• 200 cd/m2 brightness
• 0.02ms Rapid Response
• 10,000:1 contrast ratio
• Wide color gamut with 100% coverage of sRGB and 99.3% coverage of Adobe RGB
• Single link DVI-D and HDMI 1.3 input connectors
• USB 2.0 connectivity for easy use of peripherals
• Front panel controls
• On Screen Display (OSD) and software-based GUI, which enables advanced display control options

The 43″ NEC CRV-43 Curved Display, which, incidentally, would be great for HD gaming were it ever to be fully supported by software titles (it presently isn’t), offers HDMI 1.3, DVI-D and USB connectivity and is set to become available fro July for just shy of a not insubstantial $8,000.
