The world of work has undergone a decisive change of direction in 2020, with the workforce that has had to transform overnight tomorrow (quite literally) becoming more mobile and flexible. A change that also requires new tools, able to better respond to the needs dictated by this greater mobility. The NEC MultiSync EA 272 F and the NEC MultiSync EA 242 F , monitor respectively from 27 inches and from 24 inches, allow you to act as a complete workstation offering all the connectivity you need with a single USB-C cable , which also carries the video signal and power, thus simplifying the management of corporate devices ( and creating less cluttered desks).

NEC MultiSync monitors marry smart working (and cable reduction)

Whether you work from home or in the office, having the ability to work with your laptop by connecting it with a single cable to a docking station is a convenience notable, as it allows access to keyboard, mouse, other peripherals and an external monitor without having to manually connect them every time (while maintaining greater order on the desk and containing the overall dimensions). For this reason more and more manufacturers are introducing in their range monitors equipped with USB-C connections that also offer the charging of the connected device and so is Sharp NEC Display Solutions.

Both the MultiSync EA 272 F that the MultiSync EA 242 F offer connection to the laptop via a single USB-C cable, through which they also supply up to 65 W power to charge the battery. It is also possible to connect additional devices via VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort , with the latter port also allowing cascade connection (the so-called daisy chaining ) of additional monitors. There are also three USB ports to connect the various peripherals. An RJ connector is missing – 45 for connectivity net.

Both models can be adjusted in height, tilt and swivel. The company has also added a blue light filter that reduces fatigue, particularly in the evening hours. Among the technical characteristics of the IPS panel we find resolution Full-HD (1920 x 1080), brightness equal to 250 cd / m², contrast of 1000: 1 and coverage higher than 100% of sRGB gamut (102% for the model from 24 inches and 101, 6% for the model from 27). The response time is 5 ms in the case of EA 272 F and 6 ms for the EA 242 F, while the update frequency is 60 Hz.

“The world of work is changing, with workers divided between home and office” , says Jan Gräf, Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe Desktop Product Manager. “It was therefore important to offer solutions that were suitable for any type of environment. The presence of USB-C technology in both models was very important. Users can meet all their needs with a single cable. At the same time they can benefit from great flexibility, connectivity and a future-proof solution as well as… very tidy! “
