He decided to purchase three 42-inch NEC commercial plasmas with HDTV. The high-resolution, broad compatibility and flexible connections ­ coupled with NEC's long-standing reputation as an industry leader ­ sold Thomas on NEC plasma technology!In addition to the NEC plasmas, Beef O'Brady's purchased an NEC LT240 projector.
