NEC AS221WM

The NEC AS221WM is an affordable business display that delivers solid performance and is easy on your utility bill.

Affordable. Energy efficient. Good color and grayscale performance.

Relatively low resolution. No HDMI port. Short on features.

Conclusion The NEC AS221WM is a capable budget monitor that will help businesses cut costs across the board. It offers reasonably good color and grayscale performance and won't stress your electric bill, but it could stand to use additional features,...

NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK review: NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK

NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has full, four-way ergonomic support, good movie and game performance, and multiple USB ports. Also, it has a great lower-viewing angle and built-in speakers with a headphone jack.

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has apparent backlight bleeding, no HDMI, and a fairly high asking price.

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has a host of features and good overall performance for a fairly high price.

NEC EA261WM

The NEC EA261WM delivers rich colors and sharp text to business users who need to view multiple documents or windows at once, but it's lacking in grayscale performance.

Excellent small-text reproduction. Highly adjustable stand. Includes USB hub.

Expensive. Weak grayscale and vertical viewing angle performance. No HDMI port.

NEC EA261WM

Our initial impression of NEC's widescreen 26-inch EA261WM LCD monitor was overwhelmingly positive, primarily due to the thought put into its ergonomics. What puzzles us most about monitor design is why—even with obscenely expensive panels—user comfort...

Great ergonomic options; eco friendly

Poor performance in grayscale testing

With its wealth of ergonomic adjustments, we could see the EA261WM being a hit in the workplace, particularly if you need to share what’s on your screen with people close to you; however, while the panel’s rich colors impressed us, we found its trouble...

NEC MultiSync EA221WMe review

The EA221WMe looks as if it means business. It has a practical matt bezel that won't distract you from the screen, and a fully adjustable stand with over 10cm of height adjustment and the ability to rotate the screen into portrait mode.

The EA221WMe is a superb, professional-quality monitor that's ideal for graphics work, but it's expensive for a 22in display.

NEC MultiSync EA261WM review

NEC's EA261WM is the only professional-quality monitor here, which is reflected in its high price and low power consumption.

NEC MultiSync EA261WM review

Attractively priced LCD monitors can now be found in impressive screen sizes. But above the cheap and cheerful monitors we regularly see in our Charts test, such as the Chimei and Hanns-G budget models, there stands the premium brands. Designed for...

Image quality is not in the top class for professional users, and power consumption figures not exactly class-leading. While there's no intrinsic technology inside to make the NEC MultiSync EA261WM especially power efficient, other than a mode buried...
