I have the 2490 with the SV and there is a good difference from the standard factory calibration vs the SpectraView calibraton. If you doing photos work, it is a must, I got really nice print (wysiwyg) with my Epson R2400. For video color correction, I still have to see with a Matrox MXO what...
To bad you can't have the 2490, I have one and it's an awesome monitor with the SpectraView calibrator, since then my print from an Epson R2400 are fabulous. If you do photo editing the Nec 2690 is a very good option too, but for video editing sRGB, the 2490 is the better option.
Hi Pentent, If you want to do color correction for broadcast quality video, the 2490 seem the one to get for a proper sRGB display. I should have a matrox in a short time.
Good question, because I'm looking to try mine with the Matrox MXO too. Someone from a good video shop here in Montreal, told me that they work really good together. The results are very close to high end color correcting display they have.
If you are serious about photo work, get the Nec 2490, you won't be deceived, spectacular color accuracy with the SpectraView. More I use it, more I like it.
Wow, that's not normal for a quality monitor like the 90 serie, this is not acceptable, return it asap. When you return it, you have a chance to receive a refurbish display however, so hope for the best.
I'm using a 2490, but the ColorComp feature is the same on both display. I came to this thread because I had more information on the subjet and it's often refer to the 2490 too. Sorry if I made the post seem to conflict one another.
I just did some reading/testing and by using ColorComp level 3, i was able to get a very uniform display.

Hi,
I just got a Nec LCD2490WUXI-BK-SV and when I put a solid color background, I can see that the right side is a bit darker than the left side. If I take the Eye-One 2 and I calculate the luminance accross the display I can see between 5 to 11 % difference from one side to the other side...
Hi oldapachesquaw, sorry I was out for a few days. Text is really crispy, much better than my LaCie crt 19 blue3, no doubt. I'm on a Mac. Since I got it, I was out on a shooting, so I didn't had the chance to work with it. :(
No, no, it's just that it took 6 weeks to arrived since I ordered. Until now, everything look nice. I did some calibration yesterday with the SV, one for video and one for print. The print calibration is really warm tone for my taste, I have to see if it's normal to be like this, it's the first...
May be that is what I will have to do too, cancel with the SV and order one without it. Is it that complicated to put a small SV box in the big monitor box ? :mad:
Good to know, I'm waiting for one I ordered 5 weeks ago and still no monitor, may be it's the reason why they are so difficult to get, manufacture problems with the new batch. Let's hope it's not the case. By the way, don't accept any flaw with a new monitor of this price and supposed...
