NEC EA231WMI

 

The EA231WMI combines a 23-inch screen with a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a response time of 14ms

The NEC is a proper business screen that boasts the capabilities, resolution and screen real estate to make long work hours bearable.

IPS and FullHD Bundle: NEC MultiSync EA231WMi Monitor Review

 

Today we will discuss the test results obtained on one of the most interesting monitors from the practical prospective, which is available in stores freely. Get IPS and FullHD all in one. Find out how, from our new article.

The NEC MultiSync EA231WMi is a very good monitor for people who need high color accuracy, who do not like the narrow viewing angles of popular TN-based monitors, but who cannot afford a monitor with an S-IPS matrix.

Consumer review by:

Decent color accuracy with poor connectivity

 

I like this product because I can work with color accurately. Display doesn't have wide color gamut but its covering all sRGB space. So it is really handy for web designers who don't want to spent much money on decent monitor.

Good color accuracy, decent black

No hdmi, weak uniformity of display

Consumer review by:

AVOID

 

Right from the start this screen was difficult to adjust, now, after 2.5 years it comes on then shuts off completely soon after the "on" button is pressed. Not what I expected from NEC. I would avoid this produce.

Consumer review by:

Good, but I have to nitpick...

 

This monitor is really good for a back-lit LCD monitor. An excellent alternative to those highly priced IPS monitors. Even cheaper than Dell makes them. NEC is a quality monitor manufacturer that is not to be taken lightly. No dead pixels or anything...

Consumer review by:

An accurate but unspectacular looking display

 

I got this monitor a little more than a year ago after reading reviews praising it's out-of-box color accuracy and relatively low lag for gaming.

Consumer review by:

Great image quality and color fidelity.

 

The image quality and color fidelity of this panel definitely exceeded my expectations. (I calibrated it with a Spyder and very nearly could not tell the difference between the A/B images at the end of calibration.) I wouldn't be surprised if you...

Consumer review by:

Excellent monitor...with some units having color uniformity issues.

 

I have to first say that this is the best monitor I have ever owned. But it is also the worst. Let me explain.

Consumer review by:

Great monitor, but watch out for defective direction-sticks

 

When I first got the monitor, I was very impressed with the color, brightness, contrast, response times, stand adjustability, and cable management features. I recommended this monitor to everyone I thought would care and planned on buying another pair...

Consumer review by:

Nice monitor for the price. NO HDMI. DEAD PIXEL

 

Editing... Found a dead pixel. And the regular story about it of course is: "That pixel doesn't damage my work vitally. BUT I AM THINKING ABOUT THAT PIXEL EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE MONITOR." Not so happy to find it on a brand new purchase.
