    Apple 24" LED-backlit IPS Cinema Display with DisplayPort ($899)?

    Where did you hear that from????? Movies on the NEC 2490 look absolutely fantastic. Not to mention I can watch from my bed or from anwhere in my room (aka off angle) and the image looks great. This also means that more than one person can watch at a time. I would trade small drop in...

    IPS panels and "slower" games..

    I use my NEC 2490Wuxi (ips) for gaming. I have never noticed any ghosting/lag. As for worrying about having your screen shipped: Just order from a reputable company....They will replace it if any damage occurs. (I would recommend Monitor Outlet, I had a problem with my screen and they...

    Doublesight DS-265W questions.

    The doublesight 265w does not have proper backlight control which means you have to use it at 50% brightness, or the contrast goes to hell. This is ok if you like your retinas extra crispy... I was going to buy one until I read the reviews/problems people were having with them. You will...

    Red Vertical Line down monitor screen.

    It would be a hardware/firmware problem if it is not showing up up on screenshots.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    You won't be disappointed. I got my NEC 2490WUXi-SV about a month ago (I am a professional photographer) and I could not be happier. My work has improved as a a result of the better proofing ability the monitor gives me.

    CDW - change in return for NEC displays?

    I bought by 2490 from Jared at Monitor Outlet. He was honest and helpful. They were out of stock when I called but he said he would get one in later that week and would call me. I got a call 2 days later so i canceled my order with Provantage. I ended up having to have my monitor replaced...

    Best NEC IPS Display for Pro Photog....

    Great choice with the 2490. I bought mine about a month ago. My first one had some issues but NEC advanced shipped me a new one at no cost to me. Great customer service. You should not need a new video card unless your gaming.

    Do I go back to CRT's?

    God do you see this gold effect on a NEC 2490/2690? Sounds like something messed up with the screen.

    'slight' problems with my new nec 2490 ..

    My 2490 is getting replaced as it is not only backlight bleeding, but is actually bleeding different color temperatures. Thus some of my blacks have a brown tint and others have a blue tint. It makes workng on grayscale very obnoxious.

    Do I go back to CRT's?

    Gold Glow effect??? are you talking about White (gamma) Blooming? The NEC 90 series have AT-W polarizer and thus do not white bloom. To answer the OP's Question, You want a fast IPS screen. You might be able to find a used 2007 wfp Dell for under $500 that should meet your...

    Need calibration help for NEC 2490

    Yea, I reset everything manually. Figured maybe Snowdog was referring to a reset all button that might be different than manually resetting.
