If you needed any proof that televisions and digital signage are getting larger, nicer and yet less expensive, well then, you obviously don't read the circulars in the Sunday paper. Or leave the house. And if so, I present to you Exhibit A, the new NEC S521, a 52" addition to their S Series of affordable LCD digital signage, which are beefier, more durable versions of televisions built to stand up to many hours of continuous use in environments like schools.
This is a full HD 1080p resolution unit with features including an ambient light sensor to adjust the picture automatically based on the environment, Energy Star compliance, connections like DisplayPort, VGA, DVI-D, 5 BNC (RGB/HV), composite, component, S-Video and HDMI, remote monitoring and control through Ethernet, RS-232 in/out, IR and DDC/CI connections and more. MSRP of just $2699, which is pretty great all things considered. No more handwritten paper signs for announcements in the school lobby!
