Product Overview

NEC MultiSync EA242F is an affordable 24-inch FHD monitor in NEC's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel. While it still bears the legendary "NEC" name, this is a basic monitor designed for business use; it is not made in Japan.
The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support and is not very bright. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
