A family of multifrequency monitors from NEC Display Solutions that celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2005. The MultiSync's introduction was significant, because its compatibility with all popular graphics boards of the time eliminated the need for monitor upgrades every time a new video standard or technology emerged. Today, this is industry standard. For more information, visit www.necdisplay.com.
