NEC MultiSync EA261WM review

Attractively priced LCD monitors can now be found in impressive screen sizes. But above the cheap and cheerful monitors we regularly see in our Charts test, such as the Chimei and Hanns-G budget models, there stands the premium brands. Designed for...

Image quality is not in the top class for professional users, and power consumption figures not exactly class-leading. While there's no intrinsic technology inside to make the NEC MultiSync EA261WM especially power efficient, other than a mode buried...

NEC - EA221WMe

NEC is better known for its reference-quality monitors than for providing bargain-basement gaming panels, but with an asking price of £181, this 22-inch example will certainly be within the realms of affordability for most PC enthusiasts. ...

The NEC is an excellent TN-based panel that's equally well suited to business and gaming use thanks to its mixture of great image quality and high-end stand features. Other firms may offer full HD panels for the same money or less, but you'll usually...

NEC MultiSync EA261WM

NEC's 26in TFT comes with its own carbon footprint monitor, but is its screen quality as good as its green credentials?

NEC - EA261WM

For most desktops, both in the workplace and at home, 26 inches is about as big as you'll want to get. Screens of this size are a much neater alternative to having two smaller displays side-by-side, ...

We're not overly impressed with its supposed green credentials, but there's no doubt the NEC EA162WM is a capable display. The only real problem we have with this screen is its high price.

Review: NEC EA261WM TFT monitor

A high-performing 26in wide-screen display with built-in carbon footprint monitoring

Excellent image quality; fully adjustable stand; carbon footprint monitoring

No way to lock Eco Mode; nothing special in terms of power consumption; expensive

However, although it's admirable that NEC is taking a keen interest in letting businesses keep an eye on their environmental impact, there's actually nothing special about this display in terms of its power consumption. The fact that it indicates how...

NEC AS221WM

The NEC AS221WM is an affordable business display that delivers solid performance and is easy on your utility bill.

Affordable. Energy efficient. Good color and grayscale performance.

Relatively low resolution. No HDMI port. Short on features.

Conclusion The NEC AS221WM is a capable budget monitor that will help businesses cut costs across the board. It offers reasonably good color and grayscale performance and won't stress your electric bill, but it could stand to use additional features,...

NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK review: NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK

NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has full, four-way ergonomic support, good movie and game performance, and multiple USB ports. Also, it has a great lower-viewing angle and built-in speakers with a headphone jack.

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has apparent backlight bleeding, no HDMI, and a fairly high asking price.

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has a host of features and good overall performance for a fairly high price.

NEC EA261WM

The NEC EA261WM delivers rich colors and sharp text to business users who need to view multiple documents or windows at once, but it's lacking in grayscale performance.

Excellent small-text reproduction. Highly adjustable stand. Includes USB hub.

Expensive. Weak grayscale and vertical viewing angle performance. No HDMI port.
