NEC MultiSync® PA241W: true colour confidence and image detail for demanding professional applications
High-end 24” desktop LCD from NEC Display Solutions sets the new reference for performance, ergonomics and green productivity
Munich, 8 February 2010 – With the MultiSync ® PA241W LC monitor, NEC Display Solutions is unveiling the first model in its new PA series. The range, which features high-performance 10-bit P-IPS* panels, is ideal for all professional applications where colour, image detail and productivity matters. Consistent with NEC’s “Green Vision” campaign, the production, transport and operation of these displays has been planned from the start to be environmentally responsible and respectful. The MultiSync ® PA241W has already won the iF product design award 2010 for its innovative design, and over the course of the year, NEC Display Solutions will be launching further PA models onto the market in 23”, 27” and 30” versions.
The PA241W display has been developed especially for users who gain maximum benefit from a wide colour gamut, high colour consistency and work with multiple PC platforms – such as those who work in creative photographic and design professions, the medical sector or with high-precision industrial applications. NEC Display Solutions continues to invest in IPS technology, which at 178 degrees, offers the greatest viewing angle stability of all LC display technologies and ensures outstanding colour reproduction. The PA241W also features a 3D, 14-bit LUT** for precise colour control and colour space emulation as well as a 10-bit panel for getting the most out of the wide colour gamut capability. Further highlights include the picture-in-picture function, the ambient light sensor and future-proof connectivity options such as DisplayPort and integrated programmable USB interface (DisplaySync Pro).
The NEC MultiSync ® PA241W employs an innovative design – from as much a visual as an ecological perspective. With its ultra-narrow display frame, it forms a natural part of any aesthetically pleasing workplace, confirmed by the experts of the International Forum Design, who awarded the monitor the iF product design award 2010. The optimised stand offers enhanced stability, intuitive cable management and also allows for highly efficient product packaging. Shipping in Eco mode, the built-in carbon savings meter calculates and totals the amount of CO 2 saved through energy efficient working. The TCO 5.0 certificate awarded to the MultiSync ® PA241W is testimony to the efforts made by NEC to meet strict ecological, ergonomic and energy requirements.
“The MultiSync ® PA241W unambiguously asserts NEC’s claim to set the reference within the professional desktop sector” says Christopher Parker, Product Line Manager for Professional Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “Our engineers have managed to combine a remarkable number of outstanding features offering uncompromising performance, while at the same time respecting our environmental commitments.”
