14 DAY TRIAL // Although not necessarily related to CES 2011, NEC has decided to refresh its 23-inch MultiSync EA series offering and rolled out the EA232WMi, a 16:9 model designed for corporate, financial, healthcare, engineering, CAD and other professional applications.
Replacing the popular MultiSync EA231WMi, the new MultiSync EA232WMi maintains an IPS panel for superior color, viewing angles and image quality and adds LED-backlit technology, which provides more energy efficiency and less power consumption, heat and carbon dioxide emissions.
The display’s ambient light sensor and ECO Mode can further help save energy and prolong product life, while the monitor also comes equipped with a carbon footprint meter and cost meter.
The 23-inch PC monitor delivers an 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution, accompanied by a 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, while also coming equipped with advanced connectivity options with DisplayPort, DVI-I and VGA.
NEC's new monitor also sports a fully adjustable stand with 110mm height-adjust, tilt, swivel and pivot, an integrated 4-port USB 2.0 hub, as well as space-saving, down-firing speakers with audio jack, that also enables users to listen to their favorite music without disturbing the people around them.
“The MultiSync EA232WMi provides our elite IT customers with several improvements over its predecessor,” said Lynn Gu, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions, adding that “its LED backlight and mercury-free composition make it greener, and it is lighter in weight, consumes less power and is a recipient of TCO 5.1, the newest TCO compliance rating.”
“We work diligently to develop products that operate hand-in-hand with users, and the ergonomics, technologies and energy efficiency built into the MultiSync EA Series accomplish that objective,” NEC's rep concluded.
The MultiSync EA232WM will be available in January 2011 at an estimated street price of $299, which is actually quite an OK price point, all things considered.
