The new MultiSync EX series combines an innovative, ultra-slim design with quality features. The displays impress with their exceptionally low environmental impact thanks to LED backlight technology and other new features such as a human sensor.

The EX series is equipped with a DisplayPort and provides outstanding connectivity and many ergonomic benefits that ensure productive work in even the most demanding office environment. NEC Display Solutions is introducing the first model in the new range called “Office Cool” to the market in the shape of its NEC MultiSync EX231W.

First-class quality, excellent performance and stunning design were the key factors guiding the design of the MultiSync EX series. The displays are light in weight and optically very exciting thanks to their slim form and extremely narrow stand. Modern and with minimum space requirements, they can be stylishly integrated into office surroundings. From a technological point of view the series sets new standards with outstanding picture quality in full HD wide format and excellent connectivity with two digital inputs, DisplayPort and DVI-I. Additionally the range also includes a USB interface which can be used to connect a USB camera, ideal for videoconferencing.

Ecologically the new EX series fulfills the rigorous demands of the “NEC Green Vision” campaign. The W-LED backlight reduces power consumption considerably, and the focus during production of the displays is on ecological factors. NEC Display Solutions has dispensed with the use of environmentally damaging substances such as mercury and has significantly reduced the amount of material used with the slim housing. This avoids negative environmental effects in the manufacture, packaging and transport process. The models also feature two types of sensor: the ambient light sensor and the new human sensor. The latter puts the monitor into standby mode as soon as the user moves away from the display. This significantly increases energy efficiency, which at the same time means a considerable cost saving for the user.

The excellent ergonomic features such as height adjustment and the pivot function allow the screen to be adjusted to suit individual needs – it’s the perfect office setup. The displays are also easy to install thanks to their light weight, and they are ideal for multi-screen applications. The first model to be introduced in the new range, the MultiSync EX231W, has been awarded the EPEAT Gold Seal and the TCO 5.0 Certificate.

“The NEC MultiSync range carries a tradition of superb image quality, innovation and reliability synonymous with the high MultiSync standard. The EX series with its stunningly innovative product design and future-proof technology sets a new benchmark for the entire industry,” says Birgit Sommerer, Product Line Manager for Commercial Displays at NEC Display Solutions Europe.

Availability, price and warranty
The 23-inch NEC MultiSync EX231W will go on sale October and will be available in either pure black or office white at a price of EUR 359.00 (including VAT). NEC Display Solutions Europe offers a three-year warranty including backlights.

Choosing a well-made chassis for computer core components is an initial and critical decision for computer builders. A chassis nowadays is more than just a skeleton to provide structure for the components, it should also be a framework that allows good and silent cooling, and have a stylish appearance at the same time.

The new chassis, ARCTIC Silentium T11, contains all the superior qualities that any computer users may look for. This series is affordable, yet offering exceptional durability, expandability and accessibility to users.

* Advanced ventilation with two temperature controlled 120mm fans for superior airflow and maximum cooling performance at a minimum noise level
* Supports up to 14” high-end VGA boards
* Screwless installation for 5.25” device bay for quick assembly and maintenance
* Front USB and audio ports allow you to quickly connect external devices
* Sturdy and durable steel construction provides a solid foundation for your PC

The ARCTIC Silentium T11, available in black and white, is a mid-tower. The design of this chassis features sturdy and durable steel construction that provides solid foundation for computer internal hardware. There are two USB and audio ports on the front of the chassis to allow users to connect external and audio devices easily. For visual appearance, the front panel also includes two covers to conceal CD-ROM and DVD-writer device bays. It contains four 5.25” external drive bays and one 3.5” internal drive bay.

Its design also supports up to 35cm long of high-end VGA boards. The spacious space inside the chassis is ideal for overclockers to install and upgrade up to seven expansion cards. The ARCTIC Silentium T11 also showcases tool-free installation for quick assembly and upgrade. Side panel slides open easily with thumb screws. Similarly, tool-free and screwless installation for mounting 5.25” drive bays is also very convenient for builders.

The ARCTIC Silentium T11 comes with two temperature-controlled ARCTIC 120mm fans. These controlled fans complement with the framework of the chassis to provide adequate airflow and offer maximum cooling performance at a minimum noise level. The temperature controlled fans are ideal to provide sufficient ventilation inside the chassis.

Since these fans are able to self-regulate their speed and work automatically according to the internal chassis temperature, further adjustments in computer settings are not required. The speed of the fan is able to remain at its lowest rpm at most times. This is to offer adequate ventilation at lowest noise level possible. However, the fan speed is adjusted to its maximum to provide instant cooling when the internal temperature reaches its critical range.

There’s probably a very good reason why Intel is trying to stall chipset support for USB 3.0, they’d like it much more if they could control the market with their own patents and licenses. But that doesn’t mean they have something really interesting in their hands though.

Intel unveiled Light Peak technology, with which they hope to ultimately replace the profusion of different cables sprouting from today’s PCs with a single type of fiber-optic link.

“We hope to see one single cable,” Perlmutter said, adding that one thing getting in the way of smaller laptops is the profusion of cable ports around the systems’ edges.

This prototype PC has the Light Peak controller and optical connector that sends signals down a single white optical cable. It will reach 100 gigabits per second in the next decade, said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of optical input-ouput program office, in an interview. The company envisions Light Peak as a replacement for the cables that currently lead to monitors, external drives, scanners, and just about anything else that plugs in to a computer. A PC could have a number of Light Peak ports for different devices, or a connection could lead to a hub–perhaps an external monitor–with multiple connections of its own, Ziller said. It’s not clear how much the technology will cost or how many years it will take to become mainstream. And wireless communication technology–Intel itself has promoted Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for years–offers the attraction of getting rid of some cables altogether.

The Light Peak technology handles multiple communication protocols at the same time, with quality-of-service provisions to ensure high-priority traffic such as video get preferred treatment, he said.

Intel’s Dadi Perlmutter traces the Light Peak cable from a PC to a monitor on the other side of the stage. Light Peak can traverse distances up to 100 meters. The cables themselves are durable, Ziller said: “You can tie a knot in it and it’ll still work.” Intel has a lot of clout in the computing marketplace, but building support for a radical new connection that could replace DVI, DisplayPort, USB, Firewire, HDMI, and any number of other connections would require broad industry support. Intel’s taking the usual approach to tackling that problem:

“We’re working with the industry to standardize it,” Ziller said. Intel has been briefing other companies for “the last few months,” and now is trying to get the standards process started in earnest with partners including companies in the computing, consumer electronics, and telephone handset markets, he said. Ziller wouldn’t say who else is participating in the effort, but Intel published a statement of support from Sony, which has a lot of clout of its own in many markets. “Sony is excited about the potential for Light Peak technology that Intel has been developing, and believe it could enable a new generation of high-speed device connectivity,” said Ryosuke Akahane, vice president of Sony’s Vaio Business Group.

So will Light Peak become a universal port? “Intel’s long-term vision is you could get to that,” Ziller said.
