The P221W comes fully assembled, so there is very little time between unboxing and using. It is extremely bulky, though—the screen alone is 3.5 inches thick thanks to its S-PVA technology. S-PVA LCD technology offers better display of blacks and colors and wider viewing angles, albeit at a higher price than the more common, twisted-nematic technology. Also, S-PVA screens usually have slower pixel-response times and trouble with input lag, meaning that they aren’t great for fast-paced gaming.

The NEC MultiSync P221w also offers hardware calibration, an unusual extra that will likely appeal photographers and others who might want to adjust the whitepoint or gamma curve. NEC also sells calibration software for the P221w – the software enables further fine adjustments to the screen.

The NEC MultiSync P221w pivots and adjusts easily, and the unit’s smooth black finish would grace any desk quite nicely. The P221w includes DVI and VGA ports for hooking it up to a PC, but it lacks both HDMI and DisplayPort connections.

The monitor’s profile looks solid, especially in comparison with modern super-slim models. On the other hand, the P221W is obviously not meant for a secretary’s desk and does not have to look elegant. The thickness of the monitor is not a problem because the occupied space depends on the footprint of the stand. And the size of the stand is determined by the necessity to keep the monitor steady.

Essentially, it boils down to price and panel size. According to a number of manufacturers we have spoken to recently, the mass market just isn’t willing to pay extra for a premium panel.
