Outstanding picture quality ; Sturdy monitor ; Good value

Small and cluttered on-screen display ; Ordinary aesthetic design ; No HDMI

There are one or two things about the NEC MultiSync EA231WMi that we'd change, but on the whole this is an excellent monitor. Its sturdy design, flexibility and excellent image quality all stand it in very good stead, making it one we'd recommend to...

Picture quality and IPS panel; Ergonomics; Shadow detail; High resolution; Viewing angles

Eco Mode can alter gamma; Black level; Response time

NEC EA231WMi is one of the more interesting monitors today due to the IPS panel technology that Dell is also using in their 2209WA and U2410 monitors. Therefore my expectations were high but EA231WMi did not let me down.

While the native resolution is 1,920 x 1,080, the NEC is also able to upscale to 1,920 x 1,200. However, not surprisingly, this results in a loss of image quality, particularly sharpness, as the screen overscans the image (essentially, it zooms in)....

The NEC is a proper business screen that boasts the capabilities, resolution and screen real estate to make long work hours bearable.

The NEC MultiSync EA231WMi is a very good monitor for people who need high color accuracy, who do not like the narrow viewing angles of popular TN-based monitors, but who cannot afford a monitor with an S-IPS matrix.

This is just a incredible monitor for the money. I also purchased the SpectraView calibration software and X-Rite sensor. Calibration is a must. The end result is just awesome. I went thru 4 high end monitors before this one. They were all horrendously...

None

Having owned many cheap TN panels, I must say that the build quality of this monitor is a nice step up. Zero dead pixels, controls feel solid and most importantly the colors are brilliant. I've not noticed any hue differential (overly pink) that has...

The speakers, as is to be expected, are bad

The price was what caught my attention then finding out it was an IPS panel sold me. The colors are incredible and pop out of the screen. I'm into graphic design and a little photography. I have been training my eyes and am starting to see when colors...

NONE ! People are complaining about the speakers, but they are not and issue for me. I didn't buy this monitor for the speakers

I have had this monitor for about 10 months now, and can't speak too highly of it. I deliberately opted for IPS over the standard-issue fare. Great colors, crisp display, good viewing angles. Rotation is a huge help for the occasional work-related task...

No HDMI (has displayport). Speakers are very mediocre, very "tin-ny", but I never intended to use the speakers anyway

Great viewing angle ; Great price for IPS panel (why shell out $$$ for an apple display? well unless you have money) ; No dead pixels ; Non-glossy screen ; Very nice colors ; Compare this to my 23" Apple Cinema Display at work, I don't see any real...

Slight color shift from left to right (pinkish coloration on the far right side). Unless you keep staring at the white background, it is not noticeable
