55-Inch V551 Augments NEC Display Solutions’ V Series

Now Featuring an Expansion Slot, Improved Mechanical Design and Expanded Connectivity

CHICAGO--()--NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the addition of the 55-inch V551 and V551-AVT with integrated tuner to its V Series. These commercial-grade models are ideal for corporate lobbies, conference rooms, quick-service restaurants and small-to-medium businesses.

Expanded connectivity options, including a DisplayPort connection and DVI digital loop-through, allow for use with the latest peripherals.
