![]() If you want a useful step up in specifications from our old monitor and the reassurance of a well-known brand, you've found it. You won't get some of the more advanced features of premium monitors for photographers, but you will almost certainly get a screen a lot better than the one you're replacing. If your current display is a few years old, there's a good chance you can upgrade it to a bigger, higher-resolution screen with better contrast and color, all without spending a fortune. ![]() Adobe RGB color space coverage is good, but not great. Brightness uniformity is boosted by a dedicated uniformity-enhancing mode. Switch to the default viewing mode, however, and this monitor really shifts gear, producing spectacularly accurate colors. Used in its sRGB preset, the NEC proved disappointingly inaccurate for color rendition, with a noticeably red color cast. Touch-sensitive virtual control buttons are easily accessible on the lower bezel.

If you want 4K resolution with Eizo performance, check out our full review of the significantly more-expensive Eizo ColorEdge CG2700X. It may not set any resolution records, but it does set a benchmark for every other measure of screen quality. Uniformity across the screen is particularly good, and there’s very little backlight bleed. The Eizo ColorEdge also delivers an excellent gamut for both sRGB and Adobe RGB, with presets available for both color spaces, direct from the menu system. The color accuracy of our review sample was pretty much spot-on, straight out of the box. It also comes with ColorNavigator software for use with independent calibration hardware (not supplied). Bundled software includes Quick Color Match, to enable easy color matching between screen viewing and printed output. There are three downstream USB 3.0 ports behind the left-hand side of the case. Ports at the rear include DVI, HDMI, and DP, along with two upstream USB 3.0 ports. ![]() The pixel density is also lower for a 27-inch screen, at 109ppi rather than 163ppi, but the image quality still looks absolutely super-sharp.
