Great Color on a Budget by JRH on bhphotovideo.com Aug 8, 2011
After working with an inexpensive monitor for the last several years I wanted to go to the next step and get a professional grade display. Couldn't afford the 24" models so I got the P221W-BK. It is amazing the difference in color this thing makes. I ...
 
I have the monitor only. I use Color Munki instead. by mr camera on cnet.com May 25, 2011
This is an excellent monitor! There is only ONE thing I caution you about. Do not enable Auto Dimming!!! Especially if you're a photographer like me. Auto dimming on THIS monitor causes the screen to alternate between light and dark about every 3 seconds ...
 
Great monitor for photos by Eugenia M. Mills on amazon.com Nov 30, 2010
I have nothing but praise for the NEC Multisync P221W with Spectra View II. It came faster than the delivery date indicated, it was easy to set-up. It took me a while to figure out how to calibrate it, but once I did, it has worked great. I like being ...

Awesome Image Editing Solution by Gordonb on newegg.com Nov 14, 2010
If you're tired of your prints not matching what you see on your display then stop here. This is not a gaming monitor, this is a monitor for people serious about imaging who require accurate color calibration. The SpectraView II solution included with ...
 
You won't be disappointed by Vande21 on bhphotovideo.com Mar 10, 2011
I bought the NEC P221W-BK with the spectraview software because I wanted a better monitor for photo editing. The colors are great and everything worked perfectly. I've never had to calibrate a monitor before but I had no troubles installing the software ...

Green and Red by Tom on bhphotovideo.com Feb 24, 2011
Product has a quite noticeable shift from green to red, left to right respectively. Most notable when veiwing a blank white document. This is the first thing I noticed when I started working on it. I expected much better uniformity. Terrible for important ...
 
the jury is still out by steph on bhphotovideo.com Jan 11, 2012
When I received this monitor and plugged it in it was dead. BH was great about the return and I am waiting for a new monitor with hopefully great results.

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: NEC Display MultiSync P221W-BK-SV Widescreen LCD Monitor...
So, I'm now overmonitored (which isn't all bad) BUT.........If you want color calibration that is truly simple and more importantly effective, get the NEC...This monitor lets me set the luminance to 90 cd/m2 as recommended by a renown photo magazine and my prints finally match what I see after literally spending many hundreds of dollars on expensive calbration equipment and wasted prints...

NEC MultiSync P221W-BK 22" Widescreen LCD P221W-BK-SV B&H
Black levels are also very good for an LCD monitor...All my old monitor is good for is parking photoshop tools on to make more room on the P221W...The calibration setup was super easy and my prints are looking just as good if not better then what I was getting before...

Wide gamut - 96% Adobe RGB support Reasonable cost 10-bit Look Up Tables (LUTs) and integrated colorimiter means calibration is done in the monitor not the display adapter and has 4 times the range of values to adjust...Lack of HDMI interface If you're tired of your prints not matching what you see on your display then stop here...That's it - the software talks to the display using the Display Data Channel (DDC) - no fiddling with controls in the On Screen Display (OSD...

NEC MultiSync P221W-BK-SV - LCD monitor - 22" - with SpectraViewII Color Calibration...
works horizontally or vertically (haven't used it vertically YET though!) Auto Dimming is an engineering defect...Do not enable Auto Dimming!!! Especially if you're a photographer like me...The difference is perhaps equivillent to only 20-30 lumens, but enough to notice! I think it's a design defect...
