What customers say about "Key Specs"

NEC PA241W Monitor

I find 24" screen perfect for my field of view/viewing distance.
Solid 24 inch screen with beyond the words image.
Big diagonal. On such a monitor, any action is convenient.
The panel is very modern, so the response time is lightning fast.
1900x1200 resolution is clear, but I would like to see higher for a screen this size.
