NEC's already bolstered its EA series of LCD monitors with two frog-ladden models, but it looks like it's not stopping there, with it now also introducing the new 24-inch EA241WM and 19-inch EA191M models to complement its existing, 22- and 26-inch LCDs. The former of those boasts a PVA panel and the same 1,920 x 1,200 resolution as its larger counterpart, along with the usual 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a 400cd/m2 brightness rating, DVI and VGA ports (but no HDMI), a four-port USB hub, and some apparently discreet built-in speakers. The 19-incher, on the other hand, opts for a standard aspect ratio and a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, but boosts the contrast ratio to 1,500:1 and knocks the brightness down to 250cd/m2. Look for both of 'em to land later this month, with the EA241WM running $549 and the EA191M setting you back $379.
OLED pretty please! $1000 or less for 24-inch monitor with Full-HD res please.

I sorely hope your intent is to make people cringe....
That's a nice monitor, but given the deep discounting that's been going on lately in the market, I don't know how you could justify spending $379 on a 19" LCD. Yesterday, the deal sites had a highly-rated ASUS 19" LCD for just $129. Here's the monitor - http://www.techdealdigger.com/deals/asus-vw192g-129-at-newegg/4412
Alternatively, for just $20 more, you've gotten a 28" Hanns-G with 3ms response time, 800:1 contrast and 500 cd/m2. That deal's gone - http://www.techdealdigger.com/deals/hanns--g-hg-281dpb-399-at-costco/4288
Can't blame NEC for their price policy - to some "its a NEC" means more than "its a SONY".
Not me though, they were always super-expensive compared to others so I got a 30-incher from Dell and paid less than I would for 24-inch NEC.
Hey Tom,
You're one of those typical, stupid consumers who thinks one 19" monitor is the same as the next. You probably don't even know the difference between a TN panel and a PVA panel. Moron.
Good thing there's actually some mention of the panel type here.
Most of the time we're sent out investigating the panel type on our own.
Since the 19" has a PVA panel, but doesn't clearly say the same about the 24"; just assume that the 24" is a TN panel?
Has NEC improved TN panel technology or is it still poo poo?
The 24" is the PVA. Clearly, you don't know the meaning of the word "former." Idiot.
Wow, billy, someone take a piss in your cornflakes this morning?
Billy, the article that Engadget links to says the 19" monitor is the PVA panel, but doesn't specify what the 24" panel is.
If you're simply going by what engadget is saying, or possibly misenterpreting (won't be the first time) and not actually reading the original article, then perhaps it is you who displays idiotic behavior. Good day to you, sir.
Look it on the orignal site of manufacturer first

I read 24" is a tn
"slap a frog on it and sell it for twice its worth..."
Less wallet ouch plz?
WOW! That OLED looks so good on my LCD... I'll take one!
(smart move, I know)
This can already happen...Didnt you see the documentary Dark Knight?
