NEC Unveils 42-inch Wraparound DLP Display

NEC Unveils 42-inch Wraparound DLP Display

by , 4:55 PM EST, January 11th, 2008

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. NEC's Macworld booth is South Hall, #2438.

Interesting. Not sure how they combine a rear projection technology like DLP and LEDs.

Subject: DLP + LED

In conventional DLP + LED HDTVs, a series of three LEDs, red, green and blue, send light, via prisms, to a single panel DMD, digital mirror device. This eliminates the need for the old-fashioned color wheel in older DLP HDTVs.
Many, many cycles of the R,G,B LEDs occur each 1/60th of a sec to eliminate color artifacts.

How can you *not* want to buy an NEC CRVD-42DWX+. The name just rolls off the tongue.
