The display provides up to 500 nits of adjustable brightness and more than 1.07 billion colors.

Flexible connectivity is provided with several digital inputs, including four HDMI inputs, DisplayPort, two DVI-D inputs for video, Audio Mini-Jack, HDMI Audio and DisplayPort Audio for audio and RS-232C, LAN and USB for external control. NaViSet Administrator 2 software is included to allow users to manage multiple connected displays from a centralized location. The displays also have a multi-picture mode which can simultaneously show up to four images. The X551UHD also features an OPS expansion slot, UHD upscaling, a power-save mode, built-in speakers and NFC via the Intelligent Wireless Data App.

The X551UHD is designed with a slim 78.1 mm profile and narrow 18.5 mm bezels on all sides and can be oriented in either landscape or portrait mode. The NEC X551UHD displays are available now at an MSRP of $3999.00.
