The team at NEC have just released the new and improved 24″ Colour Critical Monitor – the PA242W. The PA242W comes complete with an advanced GB-R LED backlight & AH-IPS panel and near perfect coverage of the AdobeRGB colour space. Of course LED back lighting means drastically reduced power usage (around a third of CFL lit LCD monitors we’re told).
The PA242W is part of the premium NEC PA Series Range – a range of colour accurate monitors that offer an amazing combination of quality, flexibility and ease of use – for a very reasonable price – indeed we’ve set a particularly keen price on this new model (just $1425!). All models in this range are carefully pixel checked once arriving in Australin, providing a high standard of quality control – and you get a further two week dead pixel guarantee, so you can be sure you’ll end up with a perfect example.
The PA241W was one of our most highly recommended & popular models from the NEC range, and there is no doubt that the new and improved PA242W will be as well.
The PA242W is currently available for pre-order, with stock due mid August.
Here’s what NEC have to say:

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,” said 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.
