NEC MultiSync M431 - 43 Inch - 500 cd/m² - Ultra-HD - 3840x2160 Pixel - 24/7 - Message Large Format Display

Are you looking for a display that reliably presents your content without costly bells and whistles and yet shines with professional quality? Then you've come to the right place with the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 Message Large Format Display, because the digital signage display focuses on individual customer requirements thanks to its design and features. The MultiSync M431's panel offers native Ultra HD picture quality with HDR compatibility, 500 cd/m² and panel anti-glare (Pro Haze Level 28%), ensuring your content is displayed smoothly even in brighter environments. Thanks to the robust metal housing, you can also use the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 for commercial locations such as in retail, restaurants and the food sector. Or you can use the display in companies or in higher education: With the option of integrating an Intel® SD module as well as a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 into the M431, you can namely add computing power as you wish and thus adapt it to your working environment. The integrated USB media player plays your video, audio or image files easily from your USB stick. The Sharp/NEC M-Series displays can be operated in both landscape and portrait mode and are suitable for continuous operation (24/7).

In areas where it is purely a matter of the message, you naturally need a panel that reproduces the content in excellent quality. To ensure that your advertisements, welcome texts or the next event dates are clearly displayed, the Sharp/NEC M431 has ultra-high 4K resolution with 3840 x 2160 pixels and a brightness of 500 cd/m². The panel is also anti-reflective (Pro Haze Level of 28%), so you don't have to worry about reflections from windows or other light sources and a distortion-free image of your content is guaranteed. With these parameters   the MultiSync M431 is suitable for brighter rooms and places of use without direct sunlight, e.g. in the entrance area of a company to greet business partners and customers, making them feel welcome right away . Or use it as a menu board to display a selection of your food and drinks as a slide show. The HDR compatibility of the M431 ensures vivid and natural images and videos.

Basically, the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 is equipped with an integrated USB MediaPlayer. This means that your digital signage content can be played back in Ultra HD quality directly from a USB stick (via USB 2.0 connection). No annoying additional cables or digital signage software programmes are necessary. This is easy and saves time and money. Sometimes there may be a failure and the content is no longer shown on the display. For this Sharp/NEC has the Input Detect function for the M431: with this you can prioritise up to three input sources, which the display can then access if a main signal source ever fails. The display then switches automatically according to your defined prioritisation. The First Detect Option also ensures that the display switches on automatically when a source is connected and the display thus receives a synchronised signal.

In addition, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort connections are available for connecting computers and Blu-ray or DVD players, for example. Two 10-watt speakers are available for the necessary sound. You can also increase the power with external speakers, such as the Active Collaboration Soundbars, which you can find in our shop. Above all, however, the Sharp/NEC Message series scores points when more computing power is required: the MultiSync M431 has an Intel® SDM slot that is compatible with Intel® Smart Display Modules (Large/Small). The module can be inserted directly into the designated slot of the MultiSync M431 without the need to install external devices or cumbersome video and audio cabling. You can find a selection of Intel® Smart Display Modules, which you can add as an option, in our shop.

There is also the option of upgrading the M431 further: the M series also supports the integration of a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 at . The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 can be inserted directly below the Intel SDM slot. This open-platform solution offers above all flexibility and performance in the creation of customised display applications. Gigabyte network speeds, faster CPU and 4K support are just a few features. The module also includes the new, user-friendly NEC MediaPlayer. The intuitive user interface of the NEC MediaPlayer allows you to upload, schedule and edit your playlists, access the internal storage, retrieve online media via an internal browser or connect the RPi to CMS platforms of qualified partners. The display interface board's Ethernet and USB interfaces allow easy integration into a network or connection to external devices such as mouse, keyboard and touch. For more information, you can view and purchase the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 in our shop. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service (phone, email, live chat).

Alternatively, also offers the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 as a signage solution with NEC MediaPlayer already integrated. With the modular SoC MediaPlayer, you can realise ready-to-use and easy-to-manage digital signage content. This gives you the opportunity to create stunning visual experiences. If you prefer to purchase the MultiSync M431 in a bundle with the NEC MediaPlayer, you can find it in our shop. The M series is also compatible with the Cisco WebEx Kit products, so you can create an optimal conferencing solution with the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431.

Facility managers also benefit from the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 display, because thanks to integrated LAN and the NaViSet Administrator 2 software tool, the display can be controlled via the network. All connected NEC devices can be managed from a central location. Change settings or perform operations on the units, such as power on/off, change input signal, mute, etc., or check settings and/or parameters on a regular basis. These are just a few of the functions you get with the NaViSet Administrator 2 software tool. For more information you can simply follow this link. Your administration effort and the associated costs are reduced - this is how resource-saving device management works!

When designing the MultiSync M431, Sharp/NEC paid special attention to robust construction. The housing structure does not use any plastic at all: The frame and the rear cover are made entirely of metal and are therefore not only sustainable but also particularly safe. A metal enclosure passes the fire tests, as prescribed in public buildings, significantly better than displays with plastic components. Metal also has a high thermal conductivity, so that the heat generated inside the display can be quickly dissipated. In addition, built-in temperature sensors and active fans ensure that the MultiSync M431 display does not overheat and delivers constant brightness values. Good thermal management is indispensable for a long service life and constant performance of electronic components and therefore protects your investment in the long term.

Let's move on to the installation of the Sharp/NEC M431. Integrated carrying handles simplify installation and prevent possible damage. The display   can be installed in both portrait (landscape) and landscape (portrait) format. For installation, you can use the VESA standard 300 x 300 mm and the weight of 17.8 kg as a guide. You have the options to either install the display directly on the wall using a wall bracket or to use a stand, a trolley or a height-adjustable bracket. To do this, simply browse in our shop and select your desired mount with the corresponding parameters, VESA standard and weight. If you have any questions, our customer service is also happy to help you by phone, e-mail or live chat.

The daily runtime is indicated by Sharp/NEC as 24 hours. Sharp/NEC also offers a 3-year manufacturer's warranty on this display. Optionally, you can request a warranty extension to 4 or 5 years from us.

Our conclusion on the Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 display:

The Sharp/NEC MultiSync M431 is an efficient and at the same time inexpensive display that does not have to sacrifice any functions. It has the basic connections, without superfluous interfaces that often remain unused and cause costs. With the integrated MediaPlayer, the robust design, the integrated speakers and the Ultra HD resolution with HDR compatibility, a all-round package for normal use is guaranteed. The practical thing about the M series is that you can upgrade to your own requirements: The Intel® SDM slot allows you to integrate an Intel® Smart Display Module (Large/Small) and can thus offer you more computing power, and the optional Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 supports you in your digital signage applications. Sharp/NEC thus offers you an inexpensive display here that can be expanded at will.
