Thank you for your reply.

In the meantime, I bought a PA271Q as well and basically I am quite happy with it. I can confirm everything you wrote (IPS glow is purple, which is hardly visible, the display uniformity is great, but also that build quality is not perfect: My frame around the screen has some darker spots and the monitor wiggles easily.)

But there is one thing that annys me a lot:

Everything over about 150 cd/m2 produces coil whine and the volume gradually increases until 400 cd/m2. At 400 cd/m2 I find it quite annoying.

Do you have this noise as well?

@Mediafrost

Ich meine Du hast hier irgandwo mal geschrieben, dass das Gerät (die, die Du Dir angesehen hast) keine Geräusche macht. Wie oben geschrieben höre ich ab ca. 150 cd/m2 ein leises Summen/Zierpen, welches mit steigender Helligkeit lauter und aufdringlicher wird (klingt bei 400 cd/m2 dann so wie wenn Wind bei Sturm durch ein undichtes Fenster pfeifft). In einem ruhigen Raum ist das sehr nervig. Würdest Du sagen, dass das ein "Montagsgerät" ist?

My first monitor was pretty wiggly too.

Come to think of it, I could not get it perfectly horizontal, the right side was about 10 -15 mm higher up all the time. I know, sounds pretty silly but I did notice it and it did bother me. My replacement monitor is more stable (still less stable than Eizo, but a lot better) and stays straight.

Regarding the whine/humming... aIthough I usually keep my brightness at about 110 for evenings/nights and 140 for daylight retouching, I just tried a bunch of higher settings and I have to regret informing you this monitor is dead silent at all brightness levels. And I tried it in a very silent room with my ear right above the screen. I don't remember hearing anything from my first screen either ( would have noticed it).

I would def. send Nec an email and explain your situation ( don't bother going through your seller, Nec helped me out in 3 days), because your monitor sounds (pun not intended) like it may be one of those monday morning ones indeed... sorry man.

Taugt der PA271Q auch etwas, wenn man ihn nur im srgb -Modus betreibt (also in den Monitorsettings auf srgb gestellt)?

Da ich heute bei meinem EV2780 gesehen habe, dass an einer Stelle der Rahmen deformiert ist und ein hässlicher Spalt das Gesamtbild trübt, bin ich am überlegen, ihn zurückzuschicken.

Daher käme auch wieder der PA271Q ins Spiel (oder halt ein ev2780 Austauschgerät).

Wichtig sind mir:

Möglichst homogene Ausleuchtung und kein störendes Backlightbleeding.

Wide Gamut möchte ich nicht nutzen (wenn dann nur sporadisch), daher srgb-Modus.

Er sollte auch mal für ein wenig EBV herhalten. Meistens nutze ich ihn aber als Office-Monitor und zum surfen, EMails, ab und an ein Film etc.

Würdest Du unter diesen Gesichtspunkten den PA271Q empfehlen wenn Geld keine Rolle spielt?

Hey there, new forum member here from Belgium ( but I have been lurking PRAD for at least ten years, ever since I bought my first Eizo and was searching for reviews).

I have the PA271Q and I can truly recommend it. I was rather dissapointed in the last offerings from Eizo in terms of uniformity and backlight bleeding (my EV2750 was really bad) so I took a gamble and went for the NEC.

I think in terms of uniformity the NEC offers the best you can get these days in an IPS screen. There's an option called DUC (uniformity control) which has a slider with 6 settings, I keep mine at 4 and this makes for a very evenly lit screen. Mind you it is still not 100 % perfect but I really don't think that is even possible with IPS. It is certainly and absolutely good enough and I am very, very strict about these things. :p
Working in PS and Illustrator is simply put a joy on this screen.

The black levels are really good for IPS - compared to a old EIZO VA screen it's not a whole lot of difference and that says a lot. There's also a filter that makes the IPS glow (the silver shine when looking at an angle) more like a very dark purple/black effect, which is not nearly as annoying. I hardly notice it.

It's just a very pretty, punchy, clear and sharp image you get. Very impressive.

Now, I do feel like the EIZO screens do have better build quality, the casing of the NEC is kinda flimsy to be honest - compared to every EIZO screen I have ever owned. They had to cut costs somewhere I guess.
I had my first PA271Q for about half a year when I noticed some very annoying dust particles behind the screen, no idea how it got there but it did and there was no way of getting rid of it.
But I emailed NEC directly, attached a picture of the dust particle, and they sent me a brand new dust free screen - it took three days from sending the email to installing my new screen. They give you a few days to install the new screen and after that the old screen was picked up by a courier - that's as customer friendly and hassle free as it gets imho... and that's why I'm sending this reply - I feel like they deserve the praise.

So yeah go for it this screen is awesome. I really don't get why this screen has so few reviews and is so unknown, NEC needs to advertise their screens a lot better. The only other reviews I found are on some Polish forum...

I realise I sound like a NEC shill here bit I assure you I am not lol :p
