NEC Display Solutions of America has introduced a new ultra-narrow model to its X Series, the 55-inch X551UN, which is designed for the rigors of 24/7 operation in a variety of video wall applications.

The X551UN is a direct LED-backlit LCD display, allowing for improved uniformity, reduced power consumption and mercury-free components. It has a 5.5mm distance between active screen areas of two neighboring displays. This model is the 3rd product in NEC’s X Series to support Intel’s Open Pluggable Specification (OPS), which is the first industry-wide standardization in option slots to simplify digital signage. The OPS option slot allows for easier installation, use and maintenance of digital signage.
