control system.
°Cabinet design enables small form factor PC's to be attached to the back of the plasma.
°High altitude capable with an operating altitude of 9180 feet.
°Complies with ADA508 standards for color blind and hearing impaired users with
black & white menus and closed caption support.
°Zoom. Highlight portions of still or motion video to reinforce your message.
Long term investment protection
°Long lasting. Up to 60,000 panel half-life (that’s 20 years, 8 hours a day)!*
°Ranked #3 by PAC Media for product quality/reliability and product warranty
repair/return programs.
°Executive Order 13221 advanced power saving features include a standby setting
that uses <1 watt and a hard power switch to completely shut down the unit.
°AccuShield provides multiple ways to protect from permanent image retention.
°Low power consumption places NEC among the leaders in the industry.
*60,000 hour panel life is an approximate time for the display panel to reach half of it's original brightness. The panel life is based
on motion video as the input source and all display settings at factory default. This time may vary if the source varies and monitor
settings are not at factory default. The time given does not imply any warranty beyond the products standard warranty.

Contrast measurements for the real world.
To date, the plasma display market has not followed a consistent standard to
determine contrast ratio with most measurements taken in unrealistically dark
viewing conditions.
NEC takes pride in its contrast measurements, which reflect true-to-life viewing
conditions typically found in environments that would incorporate a plasma display,
such as an office, school, airport, shopping mall or home. By providing plasma
displays that are optimized for “real world” conditions, users are assured more
accurate image depth and detail that is real and not washed out.
NEC is setting the standard for high contrast in real world applications. This standard
is validated by the PlasmaSync 61XM2’s Five-Star DisplayMate Best Video Hardware
Award. According to Dr. Raymond Soneira, President of DisplayMate Technologies,
“The NEC 61XM2 Plasma monitor delivered impressive image and picture quality for
both computer and video applications. Performance in both the laboratory tests and
viewing tests was outstanding. The colors were bright, saturated and an excellent
match to our professional studio reference monitor.”
