Wow... I love this forum! It worked! I just tested the first OC EZ setting of "Turbo 4 GHz" and it booted without a hickup. However, I have now discovered another problem..., my CPU gets REAL hot with my Noctua NH-D14 SE2011. I just ran a couple of passes with LinX (mem size of 4096...

Thanks a lot for that helpful info!! That is great news and I'm glad to hear you're a happy camper now with your new MB. Great system by the way! I remain hopeful that ASRock might issue a new BIOS update soon to address this. At least your experience makes me feel much more easy/confortable...

Hi tanguen!, I have exactly the same problem with an Extreme7... I hope I get some time to write back and also hope you managed to make some some progress... ;-) I have tested a few things without luck. The computer seems to run ver well on "Auto" though... Take care! Luke My system...

Hi everybody, Finally, after some "problems" with the courier service (they managed to lose the first replacement unit sent by NEC), I received the second unit, the original SpectraView 2490WUXi. I realize this thread is about the 2490WUXi2, so I'll post my experience with the 2490WUXi in...

Hi All, Thanks again for all your posts and sorry for the late reply; just arrived from my small mini-holidays ;) . Just wanted to let you know that I contacted NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH before I left, regarding the possibility of exchanging my faulty SpectraView 2490 for a new...

Hi "Whoisthisreally": "Unfortunately" the human eye is much more sensitive to light than a camera. The first picture of the backlight glow is a much longer exposure at ISO 400, so that you can clearly see the glow, which has a much smaller EV reading than the Windows Vista login screen.

The A-TW was a very nice feature in the eyes of many end consumers but, to be honest, the lack of polarizer is the least of concerns for someone purchasing the 2490WUXi2. I am writing from a 2080UXi that doesn't have it. It does exhibit plenty of backlight glow at off-angles but it shows...

Hi Amund, Thanks for the tip! I'm not positive what's that "E-switch" you mention. Maybe you mean an option in the advanced menu tag that enabled DDC in the first WUXi monitors that were shipped in Europe that was later removed from the firmware? I don't believe WUXI2 monitors have...

I have recently purchased a European SpectraView 2490WUXi2 and have encountered problems with it. I'm thinking of exchanging it for a SpectraView 2690WUXi2 (if NEC allows it) and I'm wondering if any 2690WUXi2 owner can confirm if the vertical angle issue that can be seen in the following...

Hi Jonte, Thanks for your reply and no problem, I'm glad I can help other people make the right choice of monitor for their needs. Regarding SLI, I also thought about that being a problem: tried both disabling SLI in the drivers and physically removing the card from the slot but still no...

First, thanks to all for your kind comments. Following my first impressions, I had a chance to carry out a few tests this weekend, comparing the 2490WUXi2 to my "old" DELL 2407WFP-HC. Please note these are VERY unscientific and have to be taken with a "grain of salt". ;) My first...

Hi All, Since it seems nobody has actually reported on the performance of the farily new NEC 2490WUXi2, just thought I'd share my first impressions, although VERY early impressions on the European SpectraView model (after reviewing a 2090UXi PE and the original 2490WUXi): - The new panel by...
