The new NEC MultiSync PA301W 30″ widescreen ROCKS. I have been using 2 30″ Apple Cinema Displays in my office for quite sometime and just replaced them with 2 30″ NEC Displays. This monitor blows the doors off of the 30″ Apple  Cinema Display. This monitor sets a new standard for color critical performance. If you’re a photographer, or designer this monitor must become part of your repertoire.

The 30?, widescreen LCD display with a 2560×1600 resolution  is ready to go right out of the box, as it’s set up and even calibrated at the factory before being sent out. Other features include a USB hub and a KVM built-in for those of you who run multiple machines or like to switch between your laptop and desktop. It also has the same picture-in-picture features and the capability to calibrate the monitor without a computer set up. You can also use an X-Rite i1Pro with SpectraView Software which produced spectacular results on my two monitors. This monitor has one of the widest gamuts I have seen in a monitor. Below I compared the profile from the 30 ” Cinema Display to the NEC MultiSync PA301W and there is a major difference with the NEC clearly superior.

Features include 350cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, dual DisplayPort, dual DVI-D input, built-in USB hub (2 up, 3 down), and 178/178 degrees viewing angle.

Read what other photographers have to say…

I attended the webinar last night — you guys are so efficient, to the point, informational and super approachable — as always!  I feel lucky to have a training source like this.

- Inga Peterson, photographer
The insight you guys provide is academic and hands on – the difference between using a tool and knowing what a tool does. You guys describe the important factors of how a tool works better than anyone out there. The accessibility of the webinars doesn’t hurt either.

- Trevor Boyle, photographer

Using Keywords, Metadata & Smart Collections in Lightroom 3
June 30th – 1:30pm EDT

Our webinars have been great fun. The technology that we are using is truly awesome. Cisco has us on a special super speed line so that we can demonstrate Lightroom live and you get to see it on your screen. This is no canned presentation but rather a real firsthand user experience. Tomorrow we going to demo Keywords, Metadata and Smart Collections. No one ever accused a creative mind of being organized. The two don’t usually go hand in hand. But when you’re a photographer, being organized is invaluable. And if you’re shooting digitally, it’s crucial.

How do you find one particular image from thousands of similar images? When an image is properly keyworded and contains appropriate metadata, it can be found in an instant without even viewing thumbnails. A digital asset management system is key to your success.

Join us for an enlightening 1.5 hours of training on how to best utilize Lightroom 3′s Library Module to easily search and locate your images. Learn how to utilize keywords, metadata and smart collections in Lightroom to streamline your efficiency.
