We admittedly put the cart a bit before the horse by featuring NEC’s PA301W in our pages twice before finally publishing our review, but this 30-inch display breezed through our benchmarks like a Corvette in a box car rally while we were researching our Multiscreen Madness feature story. And after that, we simply had to have it for our Dream Machine. The PA301W’s 2560x1600 resolution is the same as the less-expensive Dell U3011, and its base tilts, swivels, and is height adjustable. Unlike Dell’s U3011, however, the PA301W can also pivot into portrait mode. It’s outfitted with two DisplayPort inputs, two DVI ports (with HDCP), and a single VGA port, but there’s no HDMI. The PA301W sports three downstream USB 2.0 ports and two upstream USB ports, so you can operate two computers with one mouse and keyboard connected to the display.The PA301W’s 2560x1600 resolution is the same as the less-expensive Dell UltraSharp U3011, and its base tilts, swivels, and is height adjustable.

Geared toward graphics designers, photo editors, and imaging pros of all stripes, the NEC MultiSync PA301W is the latest addition to NEC's PA series of professional grade desktop monitors, and it's a beauty. This 30-inch behemoth delivers very accurate color and grayscale performance and offers a slew of high end features, including a 14-bit LUT (look up table), wide gamut IPS panel technology, a built-in KVM switch, tons of customizable settings, and a fully adjustable stand. Its list price of $2,299 is not for the faint of heart, however. You'll need a good deal of desktop real estate for the PA301W. The 30-inch screen sits in a matte black cabinet weighing 27.6 pounds and measuring 4.9 inches deep by 27.1 inches wide, but the stand adds another seven inches to the overall depth. The stand consists of a wide base that offers solid support and lets you easily tilt and swivel the massive screen, and a telescoping arm that gives you almost six inches of height adjustment. Additionally, the panel pivots for portrait mode viewing and has a setting that will automatically rotate the image to match the screen's orientation.
