Make sure you buy "true" NEC 2490WUXi with A-TW polarizer.
Just check the SKU (manual, package, back of the monitor). It should be 60001854.
Is this a real problem now? How widespread are the 2490's without the A-TW polarizers?
ThankssRGB mode
contrast and black level at factory default (50)
set brightness as desired or use auto brightness
That issue bothers me, I don't know if this issue may be annoying for you. Waves are visible only on gray and (few) blue backgrounds and when brightness is near 0%. I'm waiting for the repaired unit this week. When my unit arrives, I will post results (I hope they will be good).psyside said:No problem dude,hope you will get good unit this time.Was it noticable under average
terms of using or only in specific colors/applications is it really bad ?
Watch carefully the display area in order to search for waves running across the screen
I suppose you have connected it via a D-Sub cable, because that setting does not appear in my unit when connected via a DVI-D cable.In the NEC menu, it is called "Fine". I adjusted that and I don't see waves anymore.
Ok the monitor is ordered, wish me luck should be here in 2 weeks or so 2490-SV it is
I just got the 2490 SV (Wow great monitor) I remember reading in a thread that you can download calibration software so you can use the calibrator that came with the 2490 on different monitors. I have a Dell 2007 as my 2nd monitor that I would like to calibrate. Anyone know which one this is? Where to get it?
Please someone answer me about the calibration thanks! still noob about displays here
The 2490 demonstrates same (if not better) viewing angles as a CRT monitor.
That's not even possible. Good CRTs have NO viewing angle issues or color shifts. You can't get better than zero.. I guess if you got a really old and crappy CRT it's possible.

I agree he is getting a bit carried away. But it is the only LCD I have seen that is so close to CRT that it doesn't matter.
@Surly73:
No, I don't notice any wave on that background, because my unit is connected via DVI-D. I see the waves (with DVI-D too) on plain gray backgrounds and ONLY on the left side (on the right side is OK) and without any pattern. Thanks anyway for your interest.
PS: This effect is not generated by my "vision" nor my graphics card nor my cables. I have a 20WGX2 too and I don't notice any waves at all (tested with the same hardware).
Hi,
first of all thank you guys because I've found a lot of interesting informations on this thread
Now please can somebody point me to an European shop that have the 2490WUXi in stock?
This monitor seems to be hard to find here in Europe, I'm finding only the V2!!
Anyway the 2490WUXi2 how terrible is comapred to the first version?
I've not found any consistent comparison between both versions.
Thankss!!
QUESTION: What type of LCD panel is used in the display monitor?
ANSWER:
LCD1990SX - 19.0 inch, PVA.
LCD1990SXi - 19.0 inch, S-IPS.
LCD2090UXi - 20.1 inch, IPS A-TW.
LCD2190UXi - 21.3 inch, SA-SFT.
LCD2490WUXi - 24.1 inch widescreen, H-IPS A-TW.
LCD2490WUXi2 - 24.1 inch widescreen, eH-IPS A.
LCD2690WUXi - 25.5 inch widescreen, wide color gamut, H-IPS A-TW.
LCD2690WUXi2 - 25.5 inch widescreen, wide color gamut, H-IPS.
LCD3090WQXi - 29.8 inch widescreen, wide color gamut, H-IPS.
P221W - 22.0 inch widescreen, wide color gamut, S-PVA.
However, that's what the specs say: contrast goes from 800:1 to 1000:1, and sRGB coverage from 93.5% to 96.7%.
Of course you drop the polarizer, and lose some brightness...
YES, I have tested my monitor in a different house (a friend of mine), with different hardware (different computer), and waves were still visible. Tested with DVI-D input.This isn't quite all of the equation. In order to be absolutely 100% sure in your troubleshooting, you've seen the same effect with different hardware on the same display (different display on same hardware doesn't count)?
In my friend's house, only DVI, but in my house with D-Sub too.Different DVI inputs on the display and outputs on the card?
I have tested the issue even with different cables, and the problem persists.In particular, the DVI-D only input on the display (not the DVI-I)? (I realize you're saying DVI-D every time and that you know what it is, but you'd want to be absolutely certain that some strange problem wasn't causing your rig to use the analog signaling present on a DVI-I instead of the digital, right?)
