NEC announced a new 52-inch LCD HDTV today called the LCD5220. NEC uses a “U” shaped backlight for even lighting and heat distribution in the set. The 5220 is capable of full 1080p resolution.

The TV can also display 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i as well. The bezel of the TV is very thin and the set can be used in a TileMatrix video wall of up to 25 displays. The set is also sealed to keep out smoke, dust, and other contaminants.

The TV also features SpectraView II color calibration and a variety of input options. Speakers and a stand are optional, the LCD5220 will be available in April for $8149.99.
