NEC Unveils 42-inch Wraparound DLP Display

NEC will unveil a 42-inch wraparound display at Macworld next week. The model CRVD-42DWX+ has a seamless image, 2880 x 900 pixels, achieved with a combination of a DLP engine and LEDs.

The use of a DLP engine and LEDs allows for a very fast response time, less than 0.02 ms. and an image free of motion artifacts. Other specs include: pixel pitch of 0.36 mm, 350 nits brightness, a contrast ratio exceeding 10,000:1 and an NTSC color gamut of 170 percent.


The target markets are gaming, simulation, those who've considered a multi-monitor setup, and of course video and film creation and viewing.

NEC expects delivery in the second half of 2008. Information on pricing is not yet available.
