installation. It comes with a free DisplayNote NEC Edition Presenter License for presenting, sharing and collaborating with multiple participants across any device and platform from the touch display. The 42in V423-TM and 46in V463-TM are aimed more at retail or leisure use, such as interactive retail signage or way finding and self-help kiosks in a museum. The displays use optical imaging touch technology that


doesn’t require calibration or drivers, lowering maintenance and installation costs, and offers improved picture quality to other technologies as there is no foil layer on the screen. The displays can be operated by bare hands, gloves or stylus, and scratches or wear don’t affect the touch function. The three new models come with double-sided anti-reflection glass, which reduces reflection and avoids mirrored imaging. Stand: 4-R24
