NEC Launches the MultiSync PA311D Monitor: 31" IPS, 4K, 10-bit color, 100% AdobeRGB Coverage
NEC today announced the launch of the MultiSync PA311D, a new 31-inch IPS wide color gamut display with a 4K (4096x2160) resolution. "The MultiSync PA311D will take its place as our flagship monitor in the PA Series of professional desktop displays," said Kevin Christopherson, Director of Product Marketing at NEC Display Solutions. "It provides higher resolution, along with better black levels and contrast. Further, the PA311D includes USB-C connectivity with 65 W charging and several new cutting-edge features to meet the color-critical needs of professional graphic designers, photographers and video producers."
The PA311D provides incredibly accurate color due to each unit's individual factory calibration. It features true 10-bit color with a 14-bit 3D LUT for impeccable accuracy, and supports all professional color spaces (sRGB, Adobe RGB and DCI-P3) and standard video color spaces (Rec. 709, Rec. 2100). Additionally, it supports the HLG and PQ HDR standards. This model also includes NEC's custom color processor, the SpectraView II Engine, an always-on backlight sensor for stable color and brightness for the life of the display, as well as a low-latency mode when working with live video. Additionally, Picture in Picture, Picture by Picture and ICC profile support simplify color-critical workflows.
Designed and manufactured to last, the MultiSync PA311D is backed by a 4-year warranty. It is available November 2019 at a minimum advertised price of $2,999 and in a SpectraView bundle for $3,249. The optional HD2PA31 hood is available for $299.

gg NEC.
On another note, did anyone else read "Kris Christopherson"?
This is also part of the reason for the stupid price tag.
The Devil is in the detail:
- aging control
- spectral composition of colors
- metamerism control
- programmable LUT
- high screen brightness uniformity
- small differences across units
....and so on
Among photo/graphic grade monitors there are only two manufacturers who cover most of the above (and Asus or Apple are not among them).
Where's your Mini and Micro LED now?
This NEC will be used by professionals for photo editing etc. This is not a gaming display. This is also not a studio reference monitor for video editing so no point in complaining about 350 cd/m2 max brightness. This will be used in controlled lighting conditions.
I highly doubt anything rivals OLED, I'd have to see it to believe it.
also timestamped the video for you, that LCD is actually worse than OLED, has yellow tint and horrible viewing angles according to that youtube guy. LOL no thanks OLED is still king.
