NEC Widens AccuSync LCD Display Line

NEC Display Solutions has announced three new AccuSync LCD displays for desktop use, all of which offer widescreen aspect ratio and no-touch auto-adjustment for folks for whom adjusting color balance, brightness, and contrast once in a blue moon is just too much work.

"The proliferation of applications and Web-based content has really created the need for more screen real estate at home and in the work place," said Andy Anderson, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions, in a statement. "While added horizontal screen space on these new AccuSync displays allows for easier multi-tasking, the feature set and industry-recognized quality deliver the performance and reliability consumers expect from the NEC brand."

The new AccuSync Wide Screen displays will come in 19, 20-, and 22-inch sizes; the 19-inch ASLCD193WXM model sports a 1,440 by 900 resolution while the 20-inch ASLCD203WXM and 22-inch ASLCD223WXM pack 1,680 by 1,050 displays into their frames. The systems sport integrated multimedia speakers, a headphone jack, VESA-complaint wall- and arm-mounting, NEC’s Ambix technology for digital and analog inputs, and NEC’s AccuColor system with five presets which enable users to adjust onscreen color and calibrate the monitors for a variety of different situations. However, if the thought of adjusting a monitor is just too much to bear, the displays also feature No Touch Auto Adjust technology which—you guessed it—automatically calibrates the monitor when connecting it to a new system.

The displays each feature 1,000:1 contrast ratios, 5 ms response times, and are EnergyStar 4 complaint. The 19-inch model is available now with an estimated street price of $229.99, while the 20- and 22-inch models should be available in May for $289.99 and $359.99, respectively.

Microsoft calls Recall one of ‘the most secure experiences’ it’s ever built

As part of its Ignite 2024 announcements, Microsoft has provided an update on how its AI-powered Recall feature will work in the context of an IT department. Noting that the company has "heard your feedback," specifically in terms of it needing it to be more "secure and controllable," Microsoft claims to have gotten its ducks in a row for the launch of its controversial new Windows 11 feature.

Microsoft says that Recall "will ship with meaningful security enhancements, including additional layers of data encryption and Windows Hello protection, making it one of the most secure experiences we have ever built." Whether or not this will be enough to satisfy the security community, however, is still to be determined.

Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 support is officially coming to the Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets. The announcement comes as part of Microsoft Ignite 2024, which was otherwise focused on updates to its Copilot AI systems. And though not many details were shared on the mixed reality front, it's nice to see the support finally arrive.

According to the announcement, the update will bring "the full capabilities of Windows 11 to mixed reality headsets" through either a local Windows PC or a Windows 365 Cloud PC. The point, of course, is not to bring PC games into VR, but rather to do to work in mixed reality. You'll be able to have multiple virtual monitors all at your disposal to use however you want, regardless of the physical space you're working in.
