NEC Display Solutions of America announced today a standard-aspect desktop display, intended for use in business environments such as IT, corporate and education.
The energy-efficient 17-inch MultiSync LCD175M monitor features an EPEAT™ Gold rating, as well as ENERGY STAR 5.0 and TCO 5.0 compliance, which certify its eco-friendly stature.

Additionally, the monitor boasts a new power circuit design that achieves 0.4W power in Power Savings Mode and Power Off.
