NEC introduces 23-inch MultiSync EX231W LCD monitor, complete with DisplayPort

NEC’s new MultiSync EX231W may not be the sexiest LCD of all time, but it’s still decidedly sleek for a screen that’s all-business underneath. This 23-incher weighs just 9.3 pounds, has an ultraslim bezel (14.6mm) and a native 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, and it’s also packing 250 nits of brightness, 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a Mother Earth-approved ECO mode that consumes just 16 watts. There’s also DVI and DisplayPort options, not to mention a USB pass-through on the top of the monitor that enables quick webcam or flash drive connections. The usual extras are also in attendance, with an ambient light sensor, carbon savings meter, touch-sensitive on-screen controls, four-way adjustable stand and an intelligent power manager all making the cut. It’ll ship next month for $339, and that does indeed include the company’s three year limited warranty.

AT&T offering a free month of Zune to folks who buy a Windows Phone 7 handset this year

We already knew AT&T was giving away ilomilo and a free month of U-verse Mobile to folks who buy one of its glorious Windows Phone 7 phones. What else? Well, AT&T is tossing in a free month of Zune Pass for good measure. Now, Microsoft already offers 14 day free trials to the Zune-curious, and there’s nothing stopping other carriers or Microsoft itself extending this deal to the rest of the world — we think the “first one’s free” method of addiction generation is particularly great for subscription music. Still, it’s nice to know AT&T has such an offer sewn up. Now that the Xbox is getting a native Zune UI at long last, how about a free month of Zune for Xbox Live subscribers as well? Microsoft can afford it . [Thanks, Morgan G.] AT&T offering a free month of Zune to folks who buy a Windows Phone 7 handset this year originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:54:00 EDT.
