NEC Rolls Out 26-Inch WUXGA LCD Display

NEC has introduced its new MultiSync EA261Wm LCD display, offering a WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixel) resolution on a 26-inch LCD panel mainly aimed at the business and enterprise market—but there’s no reason the rest of us can’t give it a little consideration as well.

“The new MultiSync EA Series brings premium NEC quality to those users who demand exceptional technology, rich features, top performance and high productivity,” said NEC Display Solutions product manager Lynn Gu, in a statement. “This exciting new series demonstrates our commitment to bringing the highest quality desktop displays to the enterprise market.”

The EA261WM features a 5 ms response time, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 400 cd/m2 of brightness. The display can handle 720p and 1080p content via DVI-D (and can handle HDMI with an adapter), and also acts as a four-port USB hub. The monitor also features down-firing speakers, control built right into its bezel, an integrated carrying handle, a cable management cover, and and “Eco” mode for longer display life that takes its power consumption from 90 watts down to just 2 Watts.

NEC says the MultiSync EA261WM will be available in August at an estimated price of $679.99.

Using this prompt injection method, malicious users can effectively bypass a chatbot's safety guardrails, the security features that keeps ChatGPT from going full Taye.

Skeleton Key is an example of a prompt injection or prompt engineering attack. It's a multi-turn strategy designed to essentially convince an AI model to ignore its ingrained safety guardrails, "[causing] the system to violate its operators’ policies, make decisions unduly influenced by a user, or execute malicious instructions," Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, wrote in the announcement.
