Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I just purchased (two weeks) ago a LCD2470 which...
No question here...this monitor is build like a tank showing quality all over it! Absolute no complaints and zero dead pixels in my case...
Travbomb,
As explained earlier, I am using this monitor mainly for photoshop work, lite CAD and the normal web surfing. It calibrated very nice, but I...
Tri, both models are the same...the only diference is that the -BK has a black color case and frame.
travbomb,
Is the almost double the price of the 2690WUXi worth it over the 2470WNX? Also, what is the Adobe RGB coverage on the 2470? I know it has a sRGB mode.
I finally got access to this forum!
I have spend a lot of time reading various threads regarding displays. I am not a gamer with the exception of some light FS time. I do light work in CAD (electronic circuit boards) and Photoshop...I am not a photo pro either, but I take it a bit...
