Compare Prices : NEC MultiSync EA261WM 26'' - Expert Reviews

Review summary: The largest of NEC's EA series of enterprise-class displays, the EA261WM ($599 direct), targets business users who require the screen real estate needed to view side-by-side documents and multiple application windows without having to run a multi ...

Pros: Excellent small-text reproduction. Highly adjustable stand. Includes USB hub

Cons: Expensive. Weak grayscale and vertical viewing angle performance. No HDMI port

Verdict: The NEC EA261WM provides an ultrawide viewing area, some nice ergonomic and power-saving features, and great small-text reproduction, but it comes up short in terms of grayscale and viewing-angle performance, and doesn't come cheap.

Pros: Excellent image quality

Cons: Pricey in comparison to other displays

Verdict: Still, unless, perhaps, you're a graphics specialist, $499 seems a high price to pay, even for rock-solid image quality and high-level controls. As mentioned, you can find a decent 22-inch widescreen now for $350 or less, and during these uncertain ...

Verdict: A good quality TFT with some nice green touches, but it's too expensive for our liking.
