Scyles, i set up a black file and set as the desktop. it too is strange - you can see a bit of yellow cast even on the black, but it is along the bottom and the right side in a bit of an inconsistent way - well, i'm not sure that's how to say it, but it is within the same areas covered by the...

thanks, Scyles. Acutally i am on a mac. so setting up a Black file and displaying that as the screen saver is not what i want? i need a blank? not sure how to do that.

Scyles, i haven't tried the VGA hook up, which i will, but really want to use the DVI. I will try the black screen (what's the best way to do that?) once it's dark in here.

yeah, i have been dealing with NEC's tech support. just wondering if anyone else had gotten this monitor and had this problem. thanks.

I am on my second 2490 because the first one i got had a color shift diagonally across the screen - the majority of the screen is fine but as you go down from the top left to bottom right, there is a yellowish cast. NEC immediately sent me a new one after i called to let them know about this...

Thanks Travbomb. i actually just got my 2490 today and have just turned it on. it's great apart from one major issue - the bottom third (and to the right side) or so of the screen seems to fade to a yellowish tint. will this change when i calibrate, or did i just get a lemon and should not...

I am wondering which version of Spectraview comes bundled with the 2490. there is an approximate $300 difference in price when getting the SV monitor, but when looking at the NEC site for Spectraview software to buy separately - there's Spectraview II for $169 and a Spectraview Kit for $399...

I am very close to buying the 2490 and have 2 questions about the calibration. 1. is the SpectraView II that comes with the monitor actually IN the monitor or is it separate software that just gets sent along with the monitor? 2. if it is actually part of the hardware, is there an...

and another couple o' questions...when it comes the the pixel pitch i have seen some people say that the pixel pitch "bothers them" on the 2690. does that mean fine detail, text is harder to focus? is the pitch on the 2490 better? and when it comes to color i know the 2490 doesn't cover as...

Hey Alexg, I've seen a lot of complaints about the 2690 having a buzz to it? does yours? Travbomb, i know you said that's been fixed, but what about the monitors that were sent out prior to that? Also, seen a complaint about one sent back in and the noise is still there, but NEC claims it...

Thanks, Travbomb. I'll have a look. Can you tell me - are the 2490 and 2690 identical apart from size and color gamut?

When it comes to the 2490 and 2690, would you say the 2490 can do the job even though the difference in Adobe RBG gamut? I would assume so since the 2690 is the only one covering more. What is it that makes these (top 3 in your opinion) so much better than other IPS monitors? thanks again.

Now that's a lifespan! ha. Thanks, Tarc. I hate to ask this question, but are there other somewhat comparable displays for a bit less money. I'm all about quality, and I know you get what you pay for, but... I feel like it jumps from the NEC and Eizo great user reviews and then...

Hi! I am a graphic designer looking for a good LCD monitor for color critical work. I am working with the Mac 2.7 G5. I am not a gamer so I don't need advice related to that type of use. Photo retouching and print advertising design. I have seen a lot of discussion about the NEC 2490 and...
