Robert Cardin HP’s EliteDisplay E231 is an acceptable monitor if you work primarily with documents, but this TN panel handles other applications underwhelmingly.Robert Cardin NEC’s MultiSync EA294WMi is the clear winner in this three-monitor roundup (though NEC missed the boat by failing to support multistream transport, a key feature of DisplayPort 1.2). Robert Cardin Pivoting to portrait mode is useful for more things than just working with long documents. Robert Cardin It pivots to portrait mode, but the Series 7 might not satisfy professional portrait makers.

This HP monitor has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is ideal for widescreen content such as movies and videos. It also supports HDCP, making it compatible with encrypted content such as Blu-ray movies. None of the three ultrawide, 29-inch displays I reviewed earlier this year could pivot into portrait mode (some could only tilt). But NEC’s MultiSync EA294WMi is height-adjustable, and it can tilt, swivel, and pivot. Nevertheless, I’m not convinced that portrait mode is a practical feature on a display this large. The pixel pitch of 0.265 x 0.265 mm ensures that the individual pixels are small, contributing to the overall sharpness and detail of the displayed content. Moreover, the monitor is designed to be energy-efficient, helping to reduce power consumption without compromising on performance.

The S27C750P’s 1920 by 1080resolution is considerably lower than that of professional-quality 27-inch displays, which boast a native resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. At the Samsung monitor’s lower pixel density, fonts and images looked slightly grainy when viewed at close range. On the bright side, no pun intended, I encountered no color shift when I viewed the S27C750P off-axis, and motion was smooth across the screen when I watched video and played games. Still, viewed side-by-side with other displays, those colors were on the cool side: Grays appeared bluish, and reds were a touch purple. Using the onscreen menus to change the display’s color mode to “Warm” dulled the picture and made the screen look a bit red.
