Heads up small-medium sized business owners, if you’re shopping about for a new monitor, or several new ones for your office, you might be interested in taking a look at what NEC has recently unveiled in the form of the AccuSync AS241W 24” model, which is the latest addition to their AccuSync series of monitors which have been known to be somewhat value for money.

While NEC is targeting the small-medium sized business sector, education and government industries with the AS241W, we don’t see why regular folks like you and I can’t get our hands on it, especially if the monitor’s specifications are to our liking. In terms of specs, the NEC AS241W will be NEC’s first 24” 16:9 model in their AccuSync range and will feature a maximum resolution of 1920×1080 Full HD.

It will also sport LED-backlighting, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness and a response time of 5ms. The NEC AS241W will also feature a energy-saving ECO mode that allows users to toggle between pre-configured brightness settings. This is expected to help with the reduction of power consumption, heat generation and supposedly helps extend the life of the display. It is expected to be released n February and will retail for $239.

The axe is set to fall over at NEC Corp in Japan with just about one in 10 of its workers to be cut. NEC has announced that is set to lay off 10,000 workers as it attempts to claw its way out of the red and back into the black. One reason cited for the job losses is stiff competition posed from rivals from foreign countries such as Apple. NEC blames the poor performance and the job cuts on soft demand for its mobile phones.

Another reason cited for the job cuts and the poor performance of the company is that foreign companies are pressing in on NEC’s traditional turf in the IT infrastructure realm inside Japan. Along with the significant job cuts, NEC is also warning that it is set to post a massive net loss of 100 billion yen or about $1.3 billion. That loss would be posted for the year ending March 31. That massive loss certainly caught analysts by surprise with expectations being a profit of 15 billion yen.

Along with reports of job cuts and the giant loss, NEC is also slashing what it expected to ship in the mobile phone side of its business down to 5 million phones. That is a reduction of about 25% in mobile phone shipments reports Reuters. The job cuts will be finished by the end of September with about 7,000 of the jobs slashed to be in Japan and the remainder to be cut abroad. NEC’s Nobuhiro Endo says that the cost of layoffs will result in a charge of ¥40 billion for the current financial year, but in the next financial year, the restructuring will result in an additional ¥40 billion in income for the company.

Touchscreen Response Time
