NEC Display just announced what it is calling its “next-generation” ultra-narrow bezel display in the form of the X463UN, which is part of the company’s high-end X Series of displays designed for 24/7 operation.

The X463UN is a direct LED-backlit LCD display, which has reduced power consumption and is completely mercury-free. The X463UN offers a 5.7-mm distance between active screen areas of two neighboring displays. The model supports 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.

Features of the native 1080p display include a brightness spec of 500 cd/m2 and a 3500:1 contrast ratio, plus digital connectivity with DisplayPort In/Out, DVI-D In/Out and HDMI. It also only uses 120 watts max power, can be tiled with up to 100 displays and is Energy Star 5.1 qualified. It lists for $5,149.
