NEC PA271W-BK 2560x1440 27-Inch Monitor Review

I ordered this monitor from Adorama through Revain on November 19, 2013. Two weeks after receiving the monitor, a defect was discovered. When loading, everything was blurry. The colors didn't seem to match, almost like a 3D effect. I rebooted and everything was fine, so I thought everything was fine, it's just a minor bug. This then happened twice more after the 30-day return guarantee to Adorama expired. They sent me a message with information on how to contact NEC as I was unable to send it…

NEC PA271w-bk 27 inch 2560 x 1440 1000:1 6ms widescreen LCD monitor It can be very difficult for a photographer to print exactly what is shown on the monitor screen. My previous monitor, the Dell WP2407, was good, but I often found that the printouts weren't up to scratch even after calibration. This monitor, NEC PA271-bk, gives me the professional results I need. Combined with the Spectra View 2 calibration software and a puck, I now feel confident when I press the print button that "what I…

The best purchase I've ever made, the color is amazing, can't beat the price. It's really heavy, but you should make sure you have a good, solid case, especially if it's your second monitor.

I've waited a few days (a week) before writing a review so I can get a feel for and use the NEC PA271. After researching and learning so many aspects of what makes a good, if not great, monitor, I finally ordered the NEC. Make no mistake, this is a high quality display with accurate colors and a very solid build. The optics alone look first class in a professional series. Initially, the display is bright and high-contrast, but neutral in grayscale, but takes on a new feel after calibration with

This monitor was a replacement for my Samsung "27.5" inch. I am very satisfied with the performance, flexibility and quality.

I've looked at a lot of monitors and really wanted a 24 inch NEC but it was sold out and I think it's been discontinued. So I opted for the 27 inch larger one. While it's a great monitor, it's really overkill for my gaming and daily web activities. It is designed for high resolution graphics and the font is very small at the highest resolution. I will keep it but not sure I would buy it again if I had to choose. I think I would buy two ultra-sharp 24-inch Dell lenses.

Great monitor, but not for hobbyists. If you're looking for a quality monitor with a variety of photo output options, this is it. It is not. A bunch but most things are not high quality. Great supplier which I was concerned about based on the reviews but the product arrived ahead of schedule in great shape.

This monitor is every bit as good as what NEC says. The display is amazing and the colors are stunning. The fact that you can even physically rotate it 90 degrees for vertical editing in portrait mode takes a little getting used to, but that's only because it's cool. Mini DisplayPort from a MacBook or MacBook Pro then you can ONLY use the $99 Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI Adapter as it is the only way to get this high resolution from a laptop. The $29 Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter…

Years ago we had a Mitsubishi/NEC DiamondPro CRT monitor when we started our publishing/photography business. We then switched to an Apple iMac with a monitor in a hardware/processor/monitor upgrade. It was a bad move. The monitor brought us back to the highest level of professional quality. We hooked it up to an old iMac via its mini-DVI port and set it up as a secondary monitor (it will have full dual-head resolution once we get a new Mac). I was blown away by how good these monitors are in…

This is a great monitor and very easy to calibrate. I have several now and calibrated, they are all the same. Would do it again a million times. Costs money

I bought this display to replace an incorrectly profiled 30" Apple Cinema Display (for photo work). This is a great display. I have never had an ICC profile that accurate from an Apple display, so I would not hesitate buy one of these again.

I take this article. After using my Colormunki to calibrate, the monitor is great. Better than my old 2007 Apple iMac. colors appear. Ideal for photo editing. And do it right for the customer.

This is my first review. I just received this monitor out of the box. The picture quality is just incredible. I ran LCD tests on [.]. This is by far the best LCD I've tested, even beating Apple's 27-inch monitor. The gray gradients are very smooth. The images have excellent contrast and dynamic range. I would like to be able to compare it to the upscale Eizo ot a Lacie. I also bought a 10-bit graphics card. However, one thing is a bit annoying: the LCD itself seems to contain small shiny…

I replaced my old Viewsonic with this one. I'm not very impressed. I don't notice any quality difference claiming almost $1100. Too bad I didn't buy a normal monitor at a normal price.

The screen is clear and the controls are very simple. I originally bought this because I was looking for an upgrade for my LaCie 321 and it definitely ticks the box. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a monitor to view and edit photos with Photoshop/Lightroom.

I'm not a graphics or photography professional but as a disabled web developer and technical writer I needed a top quality display with VERY CLEAR, WELL RESOLUTION TEXT for my poor vision with nystagmus and double vision. In the early 80's I used NEC Multisyncs. You are simply the BEST. And I've tried many, many other brands over the years. I have several computers - all assembled by me - all connected to the network (so I conveniently have one in every room; my wheelchair cannot withstand such

NEC271W is a professional display. There's so much BS hype in the world of displays scattered in the form of insane contrast ratios, response times, memory card readers, 7 different input types including one for your toaster, and more. Anyone who buys a display based on a list of features to share with your friends shouldn't look at this display, as there are many Dell-class displays that give you all of that. If you're a serious professional designer, photographer or prepress where color…
