Announced September 5 2013, the NEC 30-inch PA302W wide-gamut display is an update with LED backlighting of the excellent NEC PA301W, which has been a mainstay of my photographic work for several years.
I am pleased to report that the NEC PA302W is a pleasant visual improvement over the PA301W—the clarity and smoothness of the image are improved; it seems more crisp yet more smooth at the same time. The color gamut is even wider also, particularly in the red/magenta/blue range.
Update October 2013: There is a new 27-inch model PA272W (PA272W-BK-SV with calibrator), which according to NEC has the same quality as the PA302W. Ditto for the PA241W BK-SV 24-inch model.
NOTE: for all sizes, the BK-SV models with included matched calibrator and SpectraView II software is strongly recommended with the new backlit LCD models (not just any calibrator will work optimally with the new backlighting).
Utilizing a high performance AH-IPS LCD panel and combined with the MDSVSENSOR3 calibrator, the MultiSync PA302W-BK-SV delivers high quality, perfect color.
The faint internal line (side of triangle) inscribed below is the red/blue edge of the AdobeRGB color gamut. Observe that the NEC PA302W as I calibrated it goes far beyond AdobeRGB color space in the red/magenta/blue directions.
There are some reasons to force a display to use a more limited gamut, such as sRGB. When that occurs, one concern is the accuracy of the displayed gamut. But it is not a concern. Here is what NEC has to say about using sRGB color space:
This is because the 14-bit internal LUTs and our custom color processing technology (marketing speak: SpectraView Engine) allows the display to maintain the maximum possible number of color levels. This all occurs without introducing artifacts such as banding, so even sRGB looks good.
The NEC PA302W and its siblings support 10-bit color (30 bit color), as do the video cards found in the Apple Mac Pro, but as of September 2013, Apple still does not supply 10-bit drivers. Shame on Apple for focusing on eye candy improvements with no meat and potatoes solid engineering— the photographic community has been waiting with four 3-4 years now.
Be sure to order the NEC “BK-SV” model, which includes the calibrator that talks directly to the display for 14-bit accuracy, not just any calibrator will suffice. NEC had this to say about the calibrator supplied with the PA301W:
It is the individual color sensors which are custom calibrated by X-Rite to match our Wide Color Gamut displays, rather than the software trying to make some compensation for a generic device in software.
* Note: the SpectraSensor Pro is being renamed to the MDSVSensor3. According to NEC, the new MDSVSENSOR3 is the only sensor that can be used for standalone calibration (e.g. without using SpectraView) on the PA302W. But this is a minor point; it is much better to use the software anyway.
NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the 30-inch MultiSync® PA302W color accurate display and color critical PA302W display solution with SpectraViewII™ calibration software and sensor. The models come in both white and black cabinets, which have been redesigned and are now 34 percent slimmer than previous models.
The MultiSync PA302W monitor is designed with a fully ergonomic stand for added comfort during use. It also features a 2560 x 1600 resolution and 10-bit wide color gamut AH-IPS LCD panel that provides the accurate, vibrant colors professionals require.
In addition, the MultiSync PA302W display showcases the time-saving features common to the MultiSync PA Series displays, including the ability to load ICC profiles to emulate custom color spaces and easily match image prints.
“The PA302W gives graphic designers, pre-press operators, photographers, video editors and other professionals a greater color gamut and even better color control,” said Art Marshall, Product Manager of Professional and Medical Desktop Monitors at NEC Display Solutions. “In addition, users can now update the factory calibration using an external sensor when they have SpectraViewII.”
Optional accessories, which include a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (PA-MDP-CABL) for connecting devices using Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt technology, display hood (HDPA30-2), SpectraViewII software (SVIISOFT), NEC custom colorimeter (MDSVSENSOR3), complete SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution (SVII-PRO-KIT) and 2W USB sound bar (SOUNDBARPRO)

NEC top of the line displays keep getting better. The PA302, PA272W and PA242W are the latest generation of color-critical displays intended for color professionals like photographers, designers and pre-press departments. They have a new list of improvements over the previous generation (PA301W, PA271W, PA241W).
The big news in these new PA2 series is the use of new Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) as the source of backlight. While white LED’s have been used for years in displays, they have not been able to provide the kind of wide color gamut that we look for in this kind of display. The PA2 series uses GB-R LED’s which have green and blue diodes coated with a red phosphor. These not only produce a large gamut, but the power distribution between them can be adjusted, allowing for precise control of the white point. This means that the actual color of the backlight can be custom-tuned instead of depending on the LCD’s to filter the color appropriately. We have not been able to have a custom white point since the old CRT days! (There were a few attempts at RGB LED’s, but I’m not counting that.) This means if you like to run with a different white point than usual, this hardware will dial it around much more easily than having to depend on the LCD filters to maintain the white color. You should keep in mind, however, that it is designed for a white point close to 6500 Kelvin, which is equivalent to a daylight-type of white which most people are expecting.
The PA272W, like its siblings the PA242 and the PA302W has a wide color gamut. The use of LED backlighting makes for a slight increase in the color gamut over the previous generation of NEC monitors that used CCFL backlighting. NEC claims that the PA272W produces 99% of the AdobeRGB color spectrum. Our own tests show the 272 has a gamut volume of about 1,310,000 cubit Lab values. This is actually larger than the gamut volume of AdobeRGB (1,207,000) because the NEC covers a larger area than does AdobeRGB. The NEC produces more reds and magentas than AdobeRGB, but AdobeRGB has a very small amount of saturated greens not covered by the NEC.
Another thing you want a quality monitor for is consistency of color across the screen. Your cheap monitor off the shelf might produce a lot of color, but those who work professionally with image manipulation need a display that will be as accurate with the color in one corner of the display as it is in the opposite corner. A great way to check this is to fill your screen with a blank white (or off-white) image and see if you can detect irregularities in the color of white on the screen. At CHROMiX, we go a step further and measure the color in 9 quadrants across the screen, comparing the results to each other to see where the largest differences are. A delta E value of less than 1.0 is not visible to the human eye. A delta E of less than 3.0 is considered quite good. NEC corrects uniformity problems with a feature called Digital Uniformity Compensation. The PA272 we tested came out less than 3 for all colors, in all sections of the screen. This issue of uniformity is quite important since a monitor that is not uniform will only get worse as it ages.
Since color-critical viewing is normally done at modest brightness levels, the ability to reproduce a dark black on an LCD monitor is critical to keeping a good contrast ratio. Using a high quality colorimeter like an i1 Display Pro - or the NEC equivalent which is called a "SpectraSensor Pro" - The PA series produces some very good, dark blacks.
In order to view color on a display without being distracted by the reflection off a shiny surface, a high-quality display is finished with a fine, speckled coating that diffuses the light and greatly reduces reflections. NEC got enough complaints about their coating being too heavy on the original PA series that they have re-adjusted this new series to have a lighter coating. This anti-glare coating formulation is less pronounced, is more uniformly distributed, and at the same time sufficiently reduces glare.
NEC is unique in that it offers two programs for use in profiling the display. For the high end professional or pro-sumer, we recommend using the SpectraView II software with a colorimeter to calibrate and profile the display on a regular basis. This is the best way to ensure color consistency, month-by-month, for years to come. The SpectraView II software has all the bells and whistles you need to create a good profile, will allow you to set your desired white point, gamma and brightness. I have covered the
Here’s an interesting note: NEC markets these PA2 displays to the world outside of the US as the “display that never needs calibration.” While we might scoff at this claim in the US, NEC has tried very hard to make this possible. The MultiProfiler software does not require a measurement device. It is closely tied to the photospectrophotometer measurements that were used to calibrate the display before it left the factory. NEC has algorithms to anticipate changes to the display over time, and an internal sensor that keeps track of the color and brightness of the screen. MultiProfiler will make a profile based on the factory measurements, and according to your desired white point, brightness, etc.
DisplaySync Pro is what NEC calls the internal USB hub that allows you to connect the display to two computers. With this you can use one display with one keyboard and mouse and switch between two different computers. Not everyone will have a use for this, but some of us still have an old computer sitting around that we are still using because it’s the only thing that will still run some app that we love. This feature makes it very easy to switch to that computer using the same keyboard, mouse and display.
Color-critical displays operate at much lower brightness levels than other displays. In order to create a lower brightness, the NEC hardware alternates the light on and off at a very fast rate. This flicker to our eyes looks like a lower brightness. Due to the limitations of the technology, the cold-cathode fluorescent tubes (CCFL) used to flicker at less than 300 cycles a second. Some people who are sensitive to flickering used to notice this. With the introduction of the LED backlighting, technology now allows them to cycle this modulation anywhere from 20,000 to 49,000 cycles per second.
These new LED’s have less power consumption. The PA272W uses 37% less power than its predecessor. LED’s tend to get physically hot, and in order to cool these displays have thicker cases than normal in order to allow for more air flow through the case. This works very well, and the displays are not warm to the touch, and NEC has wisely decided against using fans to cool the displays. The passive air flow works in both the horizontal and vertical orientation. Naturally the display case is a bit chunkier in order to accomplish this internal cooling. The PA272W is about 3.2 inches thick. The 302 cabinet is actually a little thinner and lighter than the 272.
The liquid crystal research of the 1960s was characterized by the discovery of and experiments on the properties of the liquid crystals. George H. Heilmeier of the RCA based his research on that of Williams, diving into the electro-optical nature of the crystals. After many attempts to use the liquid crystals to display different colors, he created the first working LCD using something called a dynamic scattering mode (DSM) that, when voltage is applied, turns the clear liquid crystal layer into a more translucent state. Heilmeier was thus deemed the inventor of the LCD.
In the late 1960s, the United Kingdom Royal Radar Establishment (RRE) discovered the cyanobiphenyl liquid crystal, a type that was fitting for LCD usage in terms of stability and temperature. In 1968, Bernard Lechner of RCA created the idea of a TFT-based LCD, and in that same year, he and several others brought that idea into reality using Heilmeier’s DSM LCD.
After the LCD’s entrance into the field of display technology, the 1970s were full of expansive research into improving the LCD and making it appropriate for a greater variety of applications. In 1970, the twisted nematic field effect was patented in Switzerland with credited inventors being Wolfgang Helfrich and Martin Schadt. This twisted nematic (TN) effect soon conjoined with products that entered the international markets like Japan’s electronic industry. In the US, the same patent was filed by James Fergason in 1971. His company, ILIXCO, known today as LXD Incorporated, manufactured TN-effect LCDs which grew to overshadow the DSM models. TN LCDs offered better features like lower operating voltages and power consumption.
From this, the first digital clock, or more specifically an electronic quartz wristwatch, using a TN-LCD and consisting of four digits was patented in the US and released to consumers in 1972. Japan’s Sharp Corporation, in 1975, began mass production of digital watch and pocket calculator TN LCDs, and eventually, other Japanese corporations began to rise in the market for wristwatch displays. Seiko, as an example, developed the first six-digit TN-based LCD quartz watch, an upgrade from the original four-digit watch.
Nevertheless, the DSM LCD was not rendered completely useless. A 1972 development by the North American Rockwell Microelectronics Corp integrated the DSM LCD into calculators marketed by Lloyds Electronics. These required a form of internal light to show the display, and so backlightswere also incorporated into these calculators. Shortly after, in 1973, Sharp Corporation brought DSM LCD pocket-sized calculators into the picture. A polymer called polyimide was used as the orientation layer of liquid crystal molecules.
In the 1980s, there was rapid progress made in creating usable products with this new LCD research. Color LCD television screens were first developed in Japan during this decade. Because of the limit in response times due to large display size (correlated with a large number of pixels), the first TVs were handheld/pocket TVs. Seiko Epson, or Epson, created the first LCD TV, releasing it to the public in 1982, which was soon followed by their first fully colored display pocket LCD TV in 1984. Also in 1984 was the first commercial TFT LCD display: Citizen Watch’s 2.7 inch color LCD TV. Shortly after, in 1988, Sharp Corporation created a 14 inch full-color TFT LCD that used an active matrix and had full-motion properties. Large-size LCDs now made LCD integration into large flat-panel displays like LCD screens and LCD monitors possible. LCD projection technology, first created by Epson, became readily available to consumers in compact and fully colored modes in 1989.
The LCD growth in the 1990s focused more on the optical properties of these new displays in attempts to advance their quality and abilities. Hitachi engineers were integral to the analysis of the LCD industry, previously centered in Japan, began expanding and moving towards South Korea, Taiwan, and later China as well.
As we entered the new century, the prominence of LCDs boomed. They surpassed the previously popular cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays in both image quality and sales across the world in 2007. Other developments continued to be made, such as the manufacturing of even larger displays, adoption of transparent and flexible materials for LCD hardware, and creation of more methods to
As of today, as LCD displays have developed quite a bit, but have remained consistent in structure. Illuminated by a backlight, the display consists of, from outermost to innermost two polarizers, two substrates (typically glass), electrodes, and the liquid crystal layer. Closer to the surface is sometimes a color filter as well, using an RGB scheme. As light passes through the polarizer closest to the backlight, it enters the liquid crystal layer. Now, depending on whether an electric field directed by the electrodes is present, the liquid crystal will behave differently. Whether using a TN, IPS, or MVS LCD, the electrode electric field will alter the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules to then affect the polarization of the passing light. If the light is polarized properly, it will pass completely through the color filter and surface polarizer, displaying a certain color. If partially polarized correctly, it will display a medium level of light, or a less bright color. If not polarized properly, the light will not pass the surface, and no color will be displayed.
1927: Vsevolod Frederiks in Russian devised the electrically switched light valve, called the Fréedericksz transition, the essential effect of all LCD technology.
1967: Bernard Lechner, Frank Marlowe, Edward Nester and Juri Tults built the first LCD to operate at television rates using discrete MOS transistors wired to the device.
1968: A research group at RCA laboratories in the US, headed by George Heilmeier, developed the first LCDs based on DSM (dynamic scattering mode) and the first bistable LCD using a mixture of cholesteric and nematic liquid crystals. The result sparked a worldwide effort to further develop LCDs. George H. Heilmeier was inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame and credited with the invention of LCDs. Heilmeier’s work is an IEEE Milestone.
1979, Peter Le Comber and Walter Spear at University of Dundee discovered that hydrogenated amorphous silicon (Alpha-Si:H) thin film transistors were suitable to drive LCDs. This is the major breakthrough that led to LCD television and computer displays.
1972: Tadashi Sasaki and Tomio Wada at Sharp Corporation built a prototype desktop calculator with a dynamic scattering LCD and started a program to build the first truly portable handheld calculator.
