NEC introduces tree-hugging MultiSync E222W LCD monitor

by Darren Murph posted Jun 3rd 2009 at 6:28PM

How do you make an otherwise plain, unassuming monitor one that's worth paying attention to? You make it run off of sheer joy, that's what. Sadly, we've yet to see an LCD that gets all the juice it needs from the smiles on our faces, but NEC's 22-inch MultiSync E222W is unquestionably a step in the right direction. Said panel is said to utilize 50 percent less power and contain half the amount of mercury compared to traditional LCD monitors, and as for specs, you'll find a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 250 nits of brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a five millisecond response time, DVI / VGA sockets and a 4-way adjustable stand. Check it this July for $269.

I imagine some of the power savings comes from the reduction in brightness - most NECs are 300 nit and this is 250. Assuming light output is linear to power input, though, that only accounts for 17% of the savings. I'd be interested to hear where the other 33% came from.

The reduction in brightness is a sane move anyway: I find most LCDs to be far too bright at their default settings.
