NEC this week added to its MultiSync display line with a new eco-friendly monitor the company says was designed with business users in mind.
"NEC is committed to continuing its strong leadership role within the industry by contributing to a greener environment with an eco-friendly display in the quickly-growing 23-inch category," said Lynn Gu, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. "The MultiSync E231W uses an LED-backlit panel to increase energy savings by up to 40 percent in comparison to conventional CCFL-backlit LCD monitors. This is especially beneficial for our business customers in this economic downturn."
The 23-inch panel boasts a widescreen LED-backlit display with a 1920 x 1080 HD screen resolution. It also comes with a number of green-inspired technologies, such as a carbon footprint meter and the Intelligent Power Manager (IPM), which NEC says helps conserve energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by switching to a lower power state or automatically powering down when you're not using the display.
The MultiSync E231W will ship in August for $299.

So they use a bit less electricity. The real question is does it IMPROVE the monitor's picture? I have not heard much beyond "maybe".

Not even. Its 1920x1080. Plain old HD. Really, imo, computer monitors should not even have this resolution as a native res. It should be 1920x1200.

16 by 9 monitors do indeed have 1080 as the vertical size of the monitor is SHORTER than a 16 by 10 monitor by, err, 120 pixels.
The monitors resolution is set by the number of physical pixels, not what it "should" be. Nor "should" the monitor have "more resolution". Packing in more pixels will just make them smaller and harder to read text on this small a screen.
Nope, this is exactly the right resolution for a sreeen this size...
