New NEC 30" P series monitor shipping and reviewed
« on: March 05, 2011, 11:38:52 am »

Some folks might find this review on Anandtech (excellent site) for the new 30" NEC monitor:

Its not a deeply technical review sadly, but it seems the 30" P series monitor is shipping finally.

I was waiting for the 30" P series to come out - I already have the 30" NEC 3090WQXi, but want to go 10bit, as everything else is in place for that, and I'm noticing some gaps in (all) 8bit monitors abilities at the highest level.
 
Reading this though - I'm a little underwhelmed with the advantages of the new 30" over the 27" one (PA271W-BK) which has the same features, an identical 2560 horizontal resolution, and just 10% less vertical (1440 instead of 1600), for $1000 less. In other words a finer dot pitch.   I would rather have a second of the 27", for $200 more than one 30", and run them both vertically for a larger desktop of 2880x2560.  I have Spectraview II software from my existing NEC and an i1 spectro, so no need for the SV calibrator kit and its weaker colorimeter for @$300 more.


PS - fwiw, I suspect NEC will bring out even higher res panels in the future, the pipeline is now in place with Display Port 1.2, the cards can handle the bandwidth, so its just a question of whether the market wants it.  Maybe a new Apple pro will be announced with an ultra -res NEC monitor branded as 'Apple'.

I am waiting myself for a new Mac Pro. The macbook pro looks awesome but I really want dual monitor support. All the rumors out there say higher pixel pitch monitors are coming soon

I will probably go with the 27" as well.
