I have a very accurate display already sitting on my desk. I made sure to calibrate it when it arrived, and I figured it would be fine to check it only once in a while, even though I am well aware that isn’t the ideal process. Then the NEC MultiSync PA311D showed up, and showed me just how badly I need to recalibrate my current screen. Very rarely do I take a monitor out of its box for review and, without any calibration, see its quality—the PA311D is one of those monitors. The factory calibration and overall look and feel of its panel prove why it is NEC’s new benchmark for creative applications.
By the Numbers
The specs alone should impress anyone familiar with display tech. It is a 31.1" IPS LCD panel with a Wide Gamut W-LED backlight and a contrast ratio of 1400:1. It has relatively rare DCI 4K 4096 x 2160 resolution—which is much appreciated by we video/film people—and a brightness of 350 cd/m2. As for response times, it offers 8 ms that's typical, and can provide refresh rates of up to 60 Hz at DCI 4K and 75 Hz with lower resolutions. It is a true 10-bit panel with a 14-bit 3D LUT for smooth, accurate representation of your images with 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, which is my go-to choice for color-sensitive work.As for color spaces, this display has all the important ones, and they are handled very well. Adobe RGB is 100%, as I already stated, sRGB is 99.9%, and NTSC is 97.4%. All great specs. There is also support for DCI-P3, Rec. 709, and Rec. 2100 for the more video inclined. And, its most modern spec is the inclusion of HDR support. It’ll work with HLG and PQ, meaning it should support the most commonly used devices.
