NEC Adds EA231WMi LCD Display to MultiSync Line [23-in Monitor, 16:9 Widescreen, Automated Brightness Sensor]

Monitors designed for business solutions are known for their high-end features like energy-saving brightness detectors and enhanced viewing angles and the latest product introduction from LCD display manufacturer NEC is certainly no different. The NEC MultiSync EA231WMi has all of the bells and whistles one would expect from an expensive LCD display and some interesting extras that just might make the higher price tag easier to swallow.

NEC Display Solutions of America announced today that they are preparing to launch the MultiSync EA231WMi, a 23-in desktop monitor with a 16:9 widescreen display for use in enterprise business environments, education and government applications.

The EA231WMi is NEC’s first desktop display exhibiting DisplayPort technology, delivering a diverse amount of additional input connectors. It sports a one-touch button for ECO Mode that enables users to choose between two energy-savings modes, as well as the off selection. Additionally, the EA231WMi premieres an automated brightness feature that uses an ambient light sensor to detect the brightness level of the environment and adjusts the display with the best brightness setting, saving significant energy.
