NEC MultiSync EA273WM-BK 27-inch LED Monitor Review

Most people associate business with boring, but there's little about NEC's MultiSync EA273WM-BK monitor that's a snooze-fest. As the premiere model in NEC's next generation MultiSync EA Series of desktop displays for high-performance enterprise users, the EA273WM-BK brings a big 27-inch, LED-backlit display to the workplace and is ready to impress with a completely redesigned chassis that's up to 30 percent thinner and 25 percent lighter than previous models. It also has a 130mm height-adjustable stand and a boatload of inputs, including DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, DVI-D, and an integrated 4-port USB 2.0 hub. In addition to its physical characteristics, NEC also slimmed down the power consumption on this display. NEC claims the EA273WM-BK reduces power by more than 40 percent compared to previous generation EA Series models, and it's loaded with eco-friendly features like an ECO Mode and smart sensing technology with ambient light and human sensors. By detecting user activity in front of the monitor, the EA273WM-BK will darken or turn off its panel to reduce power by up to 95 percent during periods of inactivity, and spring back into action when you return from flirting with the secretary down the hall (or from your lunch break, as it were).
