HP unveils an avalanche of monitors ranging in size from 20 to 27 inches
It's pretty clear HP is all about monitors at this year's CES -- in fact, that's pretty much all it announced, with the exception of a couple laptops. All told, we've detailed 10 models here, and that's not even counting that USB-powered one we wrote up in a separate post. You can find all the gory details after the break, because we're assuming you don't want Engadget's home page taken up by paragraphs on resolution, contrast ratio and brightness ratings. (Or do you?) For those of you who just plan on skimming, all you really need to know is that the displays range in size from 20 to 27 inches, and cost anywhere from $130 to $500. And some of them, like the one pictured above, are damn gorgeous. Meet us past the break where we'll break down all the particulars.%Gallery-173122% Follow all the latest CES 2013 news at our event hub.
NEC delivers 26- / 30-inch LCDs with SpectraView color calibration sensor
If you thought NEC's LCD2690WUXi² was a mouthful, you ain't heard nothin' yet. Debuting today at Macworld are the MultiSync LCD2690W2-BK-SV (26-inch) and LCD3090W-BK-SV (30-inch) displays, both of which come bundled with the SpectraView color calibration sensor and software. Of note, NEC's also taking this opportunity to launch the aforesaid kit as a standalone product (SVII-PRO-KIT; $329) for those who could use it, and it's fully compatible with both Windows and OS X-based systems. Oddly enough, NEC doesn't even stop to mention the native resolution on either IPS panel, though it spends a copious amount of time detailing exactly how awesome fully automated color calibration is. And it better be, given the $1,449 / $2,449 price points.
NEC debuts 26-inch LCD2690WUXi2 for professionals at Macworld
Hard to believe that the original LCD2690WUXi was introduced over two years ago, but the squared version is finally getting official here at Macworld. The 26-inch MultiSync LCD2690WUXi² packs an IPS active matrix LCD and is clearly aimed at pros and pros alone; some of the super swank features include 97.8% coverage of AdobeRGB, compatibility with NEC's SpectraViewIITM color calibrator, auto luminance control for consistent brightness and color, support for 12-bit lookup tables and an ambient light sensor. Additionally, you'll notice a 1,900 x 1,200 native resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 320 nits of brightness and a trio of selectable inputs (DVI-I, DVI-D and VGA). The panel is shipping as we speak for just $1,199, which ain't bad at all for a screen of this caliber. [Via Electronista]
EIZO unveils 22.2-inch ColorEdge CG221 pro LCD display
Widely known for its so-called "professional displays," EIZO has unveiled a new flagship model that touts the ability to reproduce "nearly 100 percent" of the Adobe RGB color space, among other niceties. The 22.2-inch ColorEdge CG221 sports a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio, 400:1 contrast ratio, and comes equipped with EIZO's latest 12-bit lookup table with a literal smorgasbord of color tones. The monitor can be quickly calibrated using the bundled ColorNavigator software, but leaves you the responsibility of coughing up the dough for those pricey calibration devices. While this LCD comes with every type of black level, brightness, white point, and gamma adjustment you can imagine, EIZO reportedly saves you the trouble by shipping the CG221 with pre-examined "factory settings" already in place; you'll also get EIZO's typical five year warranty and a nifty screen hood to fully "geek out" your ultra-precise display. While this eagle-eyed monitor is supposedly available right now, pricing deets aren't nearly as clear, but we're fairly certain this level of exactitude demands a pretty penny.[Via BIOS]
