If you work with color calibrations, you need the Multisync Pa272W

BY DENNIS SELLERS ON DECEMBER 8, 2014 IN REVIEWS

If you need accurate color calibrations in your work, NEC’s 27-inch MultiSync PA272W is

a top-notch desktop display that provides reliable quality across the board. Definitely

geared to pro users, its GB-R LED backlight provides 99.3% coverage of the Adobe

RGB color space.

The MultiSync PA272W — one of the most color accurate displays I’ve run across — is

available with a SpectraViewII Color Calibration Kit, which features software and a

colorimeter to provide automated monitor matching and calibration for accurate,

consistent and repeatable color performance. The display utilizes an AH-IPS LCD panel

that provides excellent screen performance (1000:1 contrast ratio, 2560 x 1440 native

resolution at 109 PPI, 340cd/m2 brightness).

The DCI color gamut lies

between Rec.709/sRGB and

Adobe RGB and the NEC

display has no trouble

rendering it. The NEC monitor’s

fine dot pitch with a satin

antiglare coating produces a

sharp image, while the

backlight consists of green and

blue LEDs with the red being

created by filters. This extends

the gamut beyond what white

LED can produce. The

MultiSync PA272W sports 14-

bit 3D internal programmable

lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration. Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture modes lets

you display two sources simultaneously.
