Today we’re taking a look at a high-end monitor aimed at professional image editors, graphic designers and CAD/CAM users. The NEC Multisync PA301W is a 30 inch LCD monitor with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and 350 cd/m2 brightness. The monitor comes with calibration software, namely SpectraViewII, sports wide gamut IPS panel technology and is factory calibrated. Here’s a fuller list of what you can expect from your NEC Multisync PA301W monitor.

* 30 inch widescreen display with 2560 x 1600 native resolution
* Supports 1080p format
* 16:10 aspect ratio
* DVI Video, Digital (DVI-D), DisplayPort inputs
* 1000:1 Contrast Ratio
* 4 year NEC Warranty
* KVM built-in for multi machine use
* MultiProfiler Software
* Picture-in-picture

However the NEC PA301W monitor is not for the financially faint-hearted with its current Amazon price tag rocking in at US$2,549 for the monitor and software. But of course if pixel-perfect image quality is key to your business or just key to you then the NEC Multisync is a wise investment. Here are a couple of ratings we’re found for the NEC PA301W across the web, which both give the monitor a big thumbs up.

PCMag – 4.5 out of 5
Layers Magazine – 4.5 out of 5

Pros – Screen size, excellent color accuracy and grayscale quality, east setup, a USB hub, four digital inputs.
Cons – Compatible video card required, no HDMI input, cost

The lack of an HDMI input seems strange and of course the cost is prohibitive but if accurate image representation is what you are after then the 30 inch NEC Multisync is the monitor for you.
