Video monitors are everywhere these days, but that doesn’t mean the multi-display configurations are easy to set up.

NEC Display Solutions of America says its new MultiSync EA245WMi display is capable of simplifying multiple-monitor configurations with an improved, sleek cabinet and 3-sided ultra-narrow bezel design.

The new 24-inch widescreen model features IPS panel technology, LED backlighting with wide viewing angles (178° horizontal/vertical), and three ultra-narrow bezels, each less than 1mm thick, in order to create desktop configurations with little distraction so users in corporate, command and control, and financial industries can focus on their work, according to NEC.

The EA245WMi is specifically designed for multiple-monitor configurations. NEC’s ControlSync technology allows users to automatically control settings on up to six displays from one primary monitor using the included ControlSync cable. Additionally, the DisplayPort 1.2 daisy chain capability allows for connectivity of up to four monitors through one DisplayPort 1.2 input, simplifying cable connections.

“We are extremely excited to add the MultiSync EA245WMi to our robust product portfolio,” said Kevin Christopherson, Director of Product Marketing for Desktop Displays at NEC Display Solutions.

“Its narrow bezels, expansive feature set and consistent visual performance will make it a great addition to any user’s work environment.”
