This review first appeared in issue 350 ofPC Pro.

As immediately became clear when I put it on my desk, it also produces excellent whites.

Its this, rather than a huge color gamut, thats most important to office workers after all.

Rear view of the NEC MultiSync E274FL

Connect over USB-C and the display supplies 60W of power

A measured contrast ratio of 3,493:1 also confirms that this is an MVA panel rather than IPS.

For instance, the faint yellow bias that used to be seen in MVA screens isnt visible here.

Office workers hoping for a speed advantage in after-hours gaming sessions will be out of luck.

Sideview of the NEC MultiSync E274FL

With height adjustment, swivel and pivot, the E274FL is supremely flexible

IT departments, on the other hand, will be delighted.

End users should find the OSD relatively easy to navigate.

Naturally, this monitor ticks all the ergonomic boxes.

NEC also provides a pair of reasonable 1Wspeakers.

Before you buy, theres one final thing to consider.

This is a 1,920 x 1,080 panel, and across a 27in diagonal that means text isnt crisp.

Theres a fuzziness to character edges in Word and Excel.

Still, that resolution is reflected in the price.

A price that includes a three-year warranty, which covers backlight failures too.

We also ranked the best laptops for businesses.
