NEC Rolls Out 26-Inch WUXGA LCD Display

NEC has introduced its new MultiSync EA261Wm LCD display, offering a WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixel) resolution on a 26-inch LCD panel mainly aimed at the business and enterprise market—but there’s no reason the rest of us can’t give it a little consideration as well.

“The new MultiSync EA Series brings premium NEC quality to those users who demand exceptional technology, rich features, top performance and high productivity,” said NEC Display Solutions product manager Lynn Gu, in a statement. “This exciting new series demonstrates our commitment to bringing the highest quality desktop displays to the enterprise market.”

The EA261WM features a 5 ms response time, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 400 cd/m² of brightness. The display can handle 720p and 1080p content via DVI-D (and can handle HDMI with an adapter), and also acts as a four-port USB hub. The monitor also features down-firing speakers, control built right into its bezel, an integrated carrying handle, a cable management cover, and and “Eco” mode for longer display life that takes its power consumption from 90 watts down to just 2 Watts.

NEC says the MultiSync EA261WM will be available in August at an estimated price of $679.99.

Looks like Apple invented a dual Pro Display XDR stand

A person onstage at an Apple event with two Pro Display XDR monitors behind them, with the rear of the monitors in view.

What monitor could be more expensive than Apple's Pro Display XDR? How about two of them? According to an Apple patent watchdog, Apple has invented a dual display stand with the ability to perfectly balance two Pro Display XDR screens without getting in the way.

Patently Apple discovered patent 11371644 had been granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent reveals a stand with two legs, a rotating shaft across the top from where two Pro Display XDR monitors can hang, and a rack-and-pinion rotating shaft to keep both monitors perfectly aligned to each other.

iFixit teardown shows Studio Display is full of surprises

iFixit's Apple Studio Dislpay teardown, showing the Mac Studio next to a 24-inch iMac, both with their fronts removed.

Last week, repair experts iFixit put Apple’s Mac Studio under the knife with a full teardown video. At the time, the team also briefly examined the Studio Display, and now they’re back with a full-scale shredding of Apple’s latest monitor. And what they found inside was surprising, to say the least.

From the outside, you’d be forgiven for confusing the Studio Display with Apple’s 24-inch iMac. Yet in iFixit’s teardown video, as soon as the display’s front panel was removed, the differences became immediately apparent. For one thing, the Studio Display is far more densely packed on the inside than the largely empty 24-inch iMac.

Apple’s Studio Display has a weird amount of storage

A person works at a station equipped with the all new Mac Studio and Studio Display.

When Apple unveiled the Studio Display at its Peek Performance event, it revealed that the monitor contained an A13 Bionic chip that enabled “amazing experiences” like Center Stage and Spatial Audio. Yet one unusual detail has just been revealed about the monitor: It also has 64GB of onboard storage.

This eyebrow-raising tidbit was noticed by enterprising iOS developer Khaos Tian on Twitter, who found the 64GB figure somewhat amusing. Interestingly, it’s the same amount of storage and the same chip as you’ll find in the entry-level iPad and iPhone 11.
