NEC display offering new 24-inch color accurate Multisync PA series with GB-R LED backlight
CHICAGO — NEC Display Solutions of America (www.necdisplay.com), a provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced the 24-inch MultiSync PA242W color accurate display and color critical PA242W-BK-SV display solution with SpectraViewIIT calibration software and sensor.
The PA242W display is built on a GB-R LED backlight, which provides a wider color gamut and more color control than a conventional white LED backlight.
Suitable for applications where accurate color is necessary including retouching and video editing, the MultiSync PA242W monitor offers a fully ergonomic stand for added comfort during use. It also features a 1920 x 1200 resolution and 10-bit wide color gamut LCD panel that provides the accurate, vibrant colors that professionals require.
In addition, the MultiSync PA242W showcases the time-saving features common to the MultiSync PA Series displays, including the ability to load ICC profiles to emulate custom color spaces and easily match image prints, as well as offering factory-calibrated digital uniformity correction and five customizable Picture Mode presets.
"The PA242W's greater color gamut and color control provide trusted color reproduction, empowering photographers and other graphics users to focus on their work," says Art Marshall, product manager of professional and medical desktop monitors at NEC Display Solutions. "The simple print matching and built-in KVM feature improve their overall productivity as well."
The free MultiProfiler software, exclusive to the MultiSync P & PA Series, provides easy-to-use control over most display settings, including print matching with Picture Mode presets as well as Picture in Picture (PIP) and Picture by Picture (PBP) window configuration. MultiProfiler also allows users to manage the monitor's USB hub and enables keyboard shortcuts for changing inputs and Picture Modes. The ICC profile support in MultiProfiler offers MultiSync PA242W users an easy way to match prints.
