Review Summary
2020-12-03T07:53:49
I have been using NEC dispalys for more than 15 years including 2180UX, PA271 and PA272. The PA311D is a fantastic monitor for all color critical applications. Due to some relocation I have been working for a while with standard office monitors and moving to this new display is a day and night experience. There is so much more subtle control for image editing.

I have been using NEC dispalys for more than 15 years including 2180UX, PA271 and PA272. The PA311D is a fantastic monitor for all color critical applications. Due to some relocation I have been working for a while with standard office monitors and moving to this new display is a day and night experience. There is so much more subtle control for image editing.
High resolution and incredible, predictable color accuracy
The 31" MultiSync PA311D is the ultimate desktop display for applications where precise color is essential. The innovative wide-gamut LED backlight provides 100% coverage of Adobe RGB color space and 98% coverage of DCI-P3, enabling more accurate colors to be displayed on screen. Utilizing a high performance IPS LCD panel and backed by a 4 year warranty with Advanced Exchange, the MultiSync PA311D delivers high quality, accurate images simply and beautifully.
Impeccable Image Performance
The wide-gamut LED LCD backlight combined with NEC's exclusive SpectraView Engine deliver precise color in every environment.
True 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) offers a high pixel density
Up to 100% coverage of Adobe RGB color space and 98% coverage of DCI-P3
10-bit HDMI and DisplayPort inputs display up to 1.07 billion colors out of a palette of 4.3 trillion colors
Ultimate Color Management
The sophisticated SpectraView Engine provides extensive, intuitive control over color settings.
MultiProfiler software and on-screen controls provide access to thousands of color gamut, gamma, white point, brightness and contrast combinations
Internal 14-bit 3D lookup tables (LUTs) work with optional SpectraViewII color calibration solution for unparalleled color accuracy
A Perfect Fit for Your Workspace
Future-proof connectivity, great ergonomics, and VESA mount cabinets to fit every desk and office environment.
2 DisplayPort 1.2 and 2 HDMI (2.0), as well as USB Type-C inputs connect to most PC and Mac computers
Ergonomic stand includes swivel, tilt and height-adjustment up to 150mm
VESA-standard mounting holes for multi-display setups
A Better Workflow
Exclusive, innovative features can eliminate steps in a color editing workflow, saving time and hassle.
12 completely customizable picture modes provide shortcuts to commonly used graphics settings
MultiProfiler can load ICC color profiles into any of the presets and also provides keyboard shortcuts for common functions
2 up / 3 down USB 3.1 hub with DisplaySync Pro controls two computers with one keyboard and mouse
Color Accurate Editing
The Essential
Designed for color accuracy while editing images and video, the MultiSync PA311D utilizes the SpectraView Engine to accurately emulate several color spaces, including Adobe RGB, sRGB, Rec-709, Rec 2100 and DCI P3.
The Extras
Using MultiProfiler, the presets in the PA311D can be set to emulate most other color spaces simply by loading an ICC profile from a printer, display or projector, allowing you to quickly switch between multiple color spaces while editing. In addition, you can display the same image in two or four different picture modes simultaneously on screen, allowing for a quick preview of a second color space and saving time switching between color spaces in editing software.
Multiple Computer Environments
The Essential
With plenty of connectivity options, including dual DisplayPort, USB Type-C, and dual HDMI connections, the MultiSync PA311D can connect most modern computer systems.
The Extras
Each PA311D features a USB 3.1 hub with two upstream connections and three downstream connections. This allows you to connect three different computers using the USB port and share a keyboard, mouse and a third device between the two computers with the push of a button. Since the internal LUTs store the calibration data in the display, every input is a calibrated input.
Designed for Video
The Essential
The MultiSync PA311D includes support for signals from 24 to 75Hz in order to directly connect to video sources.
The Extras
The PA311D's also supports standalone calibration with the MDSVSENSOR3 calibrator. Safe zones can also be configured directly through the on-screen menu, which is especially useful for directly connected camera sources.
Color Space Emulation
The Essential
Built-in presets for standard color spaces, including sRGB, AdobeRGB, DCI P3, Rec 709 Rec 2100 and even the DICOM medical imaging standard provide quick access to previewing your work in a specific color space.
The Extras
MultiProfiler software gives you direct control over your display's built-in preset so that you can have multiple custom color space emulations simultaneously on the display. Color gamut, white point, gamma and brightness are controllable for each preset and ICC color profiles for printers or displays can also be loaded into the presets for a more perfect color match.
Picture in Picture / Picture by Picture
The Essential
Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture configurations allow multiple inputs to be shown on screen simultaneously in order to improve productivity. The MultiSync PA311D has four-way Picture by Picture mode.
The Extras
The PA311D allows for two different inputs to be shown simultaneously, which is useful for multiple computer configurations or even replacing multiple display setups. The same input can also be displayed in a second color space, which is most often used for a quick preview of an output color space (for example, sRGB) while working in a different color space (for example, Adobe RGB). This saves the time used to switch back and forth between color spaces as final editing tweaks are made.8 bit color shows banding10 bit color eliminates bandingColor Accurate Professional Desktop.
10 bit Color
The Essential
10 bit color or "deep color" provides an extra 2 bits of color data accessible through the display, extending the typical display's 16.7 million colors to over 1 trillion colors. This improves gradients and reduces image banding.
The Extras
The MultiSync PA311D offers 10 bit color support over DisplayPort and HDMI inputs for increased color fidelity when matched with a 10 bit operating system and software applications.
SpectraView Engine
The Essential
The NEC-exclusive SpectraView Engine controls all of the color settings for the MultiSync PA Series. It uses a system of sensors to ensure that color is accurate and stable while the display is in use.
The Extras
SpectraView Engine controls the white point, brightness, color space and gamma in real time. In addition, each MultiSync PA Series display is individually characterized at the factory for color and uniformity performance. The SpectraView Engine will automatically compensate for variations in color and uniformity to ensure consistent performance across monitors.
