Chicago, Ill. - NEC Display Solutions of America, a provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, has unveiled the first model in its new generation of MultiSync P Series displays: the 24-inch widescreen MultiSync P241W desktop monitor.
The P241W, well suited to Web graphics and photography applications, uses an e-IPS panel and professional-grade desktop display features. It features a wide screen, USB hub with DisplaySync ProT, and customizable Picture Modes designed to improve productivity.
The P241W-BK-SV features hardware color calibration using the NEC SpectraView kit to deliver accurate color. The kit, compatible with both Apple Mac and Microsoft Windows operating systems, includes an optimized calibration sensor based on the X-Rite Eye-One Display2 and award-winning SpectraViewII calibration software.
"The new MultiSync P Series combines reliable, accurate screen performance with all the cutting-edge technology included in the MultiSync PA Series at a budget-friendly price," says Marshall. "One of the more unique features of the P241W is the ability to utilize two computers simultaneously through DisplaySync Pro and the integrated USB hub, which functions as a KVM device. This capability is invaluable to graphics professionals, and we're excited to introduce this feature into the MultiSync P Series."
