NEC MultiSync PA241W brings full 1920 x 1200 IPS glory to the well-heeled old schooler
Do you care about color? We mean do you really care about getting the most true-to-life color reproduction on your monitor? Then you'll probably be wanting an IPS panel, preferably with 99.3 percent coverage of the Adobe RGB color spectrum and 100 percent of the sRGB stuff. What's that -- you'd also like more headroom than what these silly new 16:9 ratio displays can give you -- yup, the PA241W has you covered with 1200 pixels of vertical workspace as well. A solid 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 360 nits of brightness, 8ms response time and 178-degree viewing angles flesh out the spec sheet, while a tilt-and-swivel ergonomic stand, USB hub and DisplayPort connectivity figure as the predictable extras. Less foreseeable is the generous 4-year parts and labor warranty, but then you'd want nothing less when splashing a cool $1,079 on a monitor. NEC is ready to ship it to you today, but if you're feeling in a thrifty mood we'd suggest also checking out Dell's competing model, which offers a similar spec at a much lower price point.%Gallery-84468%

Hit the link below if you just have to have it since you won't find it promoted on the Dell US monitor pages just yet.[Thanks, Sheldon]
Canon introduces the REALiS X700 and SX7 projectors
Your friendly Canon buddies are rolling out some new REALiS projectors today, clearly hoping to maintain its strong ties with people who love projectors of all shapes and sizes. The two new flavors are called the SX7 (pictured) and the X700, the former being a high-end, HD-ready, Adobe RGB-accurate model, with a 1440 x 1050 resolution, while the latter is a more entry-level offering, with a lower, 1024 x 768 resolution, and no color matching. Both projectors tout 3,000 hours of lamp life, a 1.7x zoom lens, DVI inputs with HDCP encryption, plus three stereo inputs and one set of outputs. The X700 will be available in October for $3,999, and the SX7 will hit stores in December at the Earth-shatteringly low price of $6,999.[Via Akihabara News]
Eizo launches 24.1-inch ColorEdge CG241W LCD
Apparently, Eizo just wasn't kosher with busting out a brand new addition to its FlexScan lineup without also expanding the professionally-geared ColorEdge series, so just three days after seeing the HD2441W, here comes the 24.1-inch CG241W for the discerning set. This widescreen beast touts a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution panel, all black frame, 178-degree viewing angles, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 850:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, and comes tuned from the factory to showcase colors as accurately as possible. Additionally, you'll find DVI / VGA inputs, a host of USB 2.0 ports, VESA compatibility, and a shade hood thrown in for good measure. Eizo's expansive CG241W can be pre-ordered now for a whopping ¥209,790 ($1,718), but if you're willing to cough up the dough, you should have one very precise monitor in your hands by early next month.[Via PCLaunches]
