    NEC 2490WUXi - The Full Story

    I think I've seen this on one of my LCD2490WUXI units. Not sure what causes it but it may be related to backlight issues near the edges. You could try turning up the Colorcomp level, recalibrating the colors, and see if it helps mask the issue. On that monitor of mine, it helps some.

    Your favorite monitor of all time

    I liked the Dell 2007WFP; it was my first LCD monitor purchase from 2006 and I used it until late 2009/early 2010. It's racked up 30000+ hours on it and since 2009 it's showing pretty bad image retention. Leave a static image for more than 5-10 minutes and chances are it'll stick for a bit. If...

    Three LCD2490WUXIs on me desk, yar

    I totally understand having 2 monitors as I think I can use it effectively. Having 3 would mean I'll probably be underutilizing the 3rd most of the time; the poor monitor would probably spend a lot of time displaying the same thing for extended periods and I'll just end up burning though its...

    24 hour monitors turned on

    Eventually it happens to some LCD monitors. I've seen it happen on three LCD monitors so far. I have a 6 year old Dell 2007wfp with ~35000 hours usage that is now exhibiting this behavior. If I, say, place a high contrast content on it (say a window with some sharp geometric features like...

    What do you guys use to clean your LCD Monitors?

    First I try to remove as much dust on the screen as possible using a spray of compressed air. I use a hand-operated Giottos blower typically found in camera cleaner packs. This reduces risk of scratching the surface when I wipe the screen. Then I really just use plain water on some microfiber...

    Three LCD2490WUXIs on me desk, yar

    Not really, surround gaming requires multi-GPUs to run properly and my single GTX580 won't cut it. And since I'm not a fan of multi-GPU running SLI/Crossfire this isn't gonna happen. Which leaves me general desktop usage. 3x 1920*1200 monitors is overkill for that I think. Probably a...

    Three LCD2490WUXIs on me desk, yar

    I started out with one in 2009. Eventually I ended up with three. My intention was never to use them together, since I bought a couple as spares originally in case one of them goes bad. But this being the holidays, I had some free time, so I thought "heck, why not set them all up" and see how...

    NEC ColorComp? Yay or nay?

    Yep please post some calibration results like the one in my previous posts. And please make sure that when you do calibrations that you've waited ample time for them to warm up and stabilize. Otherwise you will get suboptimal calibrations since the monitor is getting brighter as it warms up...

    NEC ColorComp? Yay or nay?

    I find that, within reason (contrast ratio > 500), I can live with reduced contrast due to Colorcomp. This is due to a few things. My main manual adjustment, which is the backlight level,which governs the black level, is always set to 0 so that I get the best black level the monitor can get, and...

    NEC ColorComp? Yay or nay?

    It would help if you post a screenshot of the calibration results when the Spectraview II software is done calibrating. Something like this: BTW, when I calibrated both my LCD2490wuxi monitors to D65, 2.2 gamma, 80 cd/m2, they look very similar. I think one of them has colorcomp at 5, the...

    U2412M corner glow

    Agreed that I think the purple glow is less intrusive but it kinda gets orangey too? At least my old Dell 2007WFP (S-IPS version) did. See comparison below between my Dell and my 1st 2490WUXI (black level was pretty high on this one; about 0.21 cd/m2).

    U2412M corner glow

    0.04 cd/m2 - damn...that's really dark. Is that achieved with dynamic contrast on or something? edit: Oh I see...reading TFTcentral's review I see the U2412 has a brightness setting that scales very well while maintaining contrast.
