I have been in the imaging business for many years and would not recommend NEC for this. These are very good monitors for layout, but nothing more. Over time, their colors spread quite strongly in different angles and there can be no talk of some serious work with color.
At a previous job in the prepress department of a large publishing house, several 24" necks were bought, all after a year and a half were taken for repair for various reasons, but they could not fix the floated color in the service. I, at the first opportunity, refused 24" neck and I set 21" Eizo ColorEdge, not regretting the noticeably smaller size, anyway, I used some old apple cinema as the second one. As a result, after I calibrated it with a spectrophotometer and finished it with manual settings, I opened the photo on the Eizo, put a color proof next to it and magazine - there was no difference, from the word "in general". The room had perfectly gray walls / * I checked with a spectrophotometer, in Lab a and b differed from zero by tenths * / and all the lighting was D50 lamps. For several years with the color of this nothing happened on the monitor.and he also worked for four years before me, "shot and forgot."
At the current job /* network advertising agency */ a dozen monitors from 27 to 30 inches were bought / * just PA271W-301W */, all of them developed various defects over time: dust penetrated into the matrix, iridescent stains such as Newton's rings, washed away colors . Only one 30" monitor is still worthy in terms of color. As a result, Eizo was bought for retouchers, and most of the 27" NEC sold to layout designers as second monitors for shop / Ill panels and Outlook
. an odious personality, but a very serious authority */ praises the latest cinemas and monitors of the last /* and penultimate */ aimags, the only drawback is glossy, and although this is a serious jamb, but at home it can be compensated by the correct organization of the workplace.
As for the Eizo, I would not recommend the FlexScan series, and the ColorEdge is seriously out of the budget. But! During the crisis, many publishing houses, if they didn’t go bankrupt, then seriously sank in money, it may be possible to get a used ColorEdge for modest money, but they serve for many years without any problems at all.
So, in my opinion, there is nothing better for serious work, even if it's only 21", you can always put an auxiliary nearby

12 hours a day is not much, I sometimes spend 16 hours in front of various cheap monitors and there are no problems with my eyes, in terms of color reproduction, there is no specific Value by which one could judge the quality of color reproduction of monitors, the only more or less reliable criterion is the type of LCD matrix , about the pros and cons of each individual type of information, there is a lot, there is no one that could be called the best. Alternatively, you can select candidates for purchase by the type of matrix and then carry out simple tests in the store according to the color rendering template (which is easy to google).
