Satisfying experience

Great looking screen. Word of caution: I was unable to get a signal from computer, hooking into display port (not part of video card) on back of computer. Took computer and monitor to repair shop. Told the video card (nvidia ge force gt 1030) comandeered the signal and I needed to buy an additional 4k hdmi cable (addit $43) to plug directly into video card. This worked. Monitor is great. The real test will be printing and comparing printed image with monitor image, which I haven't done yet.

Go premium for Color consistency

I bought BenQ first to see if I could get good quality for half the price. Clearly not, returned that and finally order NEC. Was blown away by color consistency out of the box. Can go very bright and still not bleed. I’m using at AdobeRGB profile which is very low brightness and serves my purpose (Photo editing) My only gripe is the convoluted OSD and control, it feel like the 90s. Wish they had a better control system. Also I couldn’t get the human proximity sensor to work properly and the monitor would go to sleep while I’m sitting right in front. Turned it off :/

The innovative wide-gamut W-LED backlight provides 98.5% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space and 81.1% of Rec 2020 color space, 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 PA271Q delivers high quality, accurate images simply and beautifully.

Impeccable Image Performance
The wide-gamut W-LED backlight combined with NEC's exclusive SpectraView Engine deliver precise color in every environment.

• QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) offers a high pixel density
• Up to 98.5% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space and accurate 100% coverage of sRGB
• 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.

• 10-bit DisplayPort and 2 HDMI as well as USB Type-C inputs connect to most PC and Mac computers
• Four-way ergonomic stand includes pivot, 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.

• 10 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
• 3 up / 3 down USB 3. 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 PA271Q utilizes the SpectraView Engine to accurately emulate several color spaces, including Adobe RGB, sRGB, Rec-709, Rec 2020 and DCI P3.

The Extras
Using MultiProfiler, the presets in the PA271Q 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 DisplayPort, USB Type-C and dual HDMI connections, the MultiSync PA271Q can connect most modern computer systems.

The Extras
Each PA271Q features a USB 3.1 hub with three 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 PA271Q includes support for signals from 24 to 86Hz in order to directly connect to video sources.

Color Space Emulation

The Essential
Built-in presets for standard color spaces, including sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI P3, Rec 709 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 onscreen simultaneously in order to improve productivity. The MultiSync PA271Q has two-way Picture by Picture modes.

The Extras
The PA271Q 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.

10 bit Color
The Essential10 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 PA271Q 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.
