For maximum image quality and stability, the new model’s hardware-calibratable, wide-format LC display offers powerful 10-bit P-IPS* performance that covers 98 per cent of the AdobeRGB colour space. In addition, the 3D LUT for precise colour space emulation and 14-bit LUT** for each RGB channel provides outstanding colour control and gamma correction.

NEC’s Digital Uniformity Control (ColorComp) and ‘Backlight Ageing Control’ ensure controlled and peak performance throughout the entire lifecycle.

The SpectraView® Reference 241 is equipped with IPS technology – designed specifically for colour-critical applications such as pre-press, soft proofing, DTP and professional photography. With its 178-degree viewing angle and minimal visible colour shift, the P-IPS technology offers greater viewing stability than any other LCD panel technology and is the technology of choice for users who care about colour accuracy.

In addition to its faultless colour precision, 360 cd/m² brightness and 1,920 x 1,200 pixel resolution, this wide-format LCD offers a range of features guaranteed to increase productivity, such as a picture-in-picture technology. A future-proof DisplayPort and two DVI-D interfaces as well as a programmable USB hub ensure maximum connectivity to multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac or Linux. Ergonomic characteristics such as the height-adjustable stand or the portrait capability allow for a user-friendly set-up of the workplace. The TCO 5.0 certificate additionally confirms compliance with strict ecological and ergonomic standards and with arsenic-free LCD module manufacturing and use of post-consumer plastics in the cabinet proves that top benchmark colour-critical performance with an environmentally responsible approach can be achieved.
