Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Does anybody know anything more on the 720p issue over HDMI on PS3? I installed version 1.54 on my PS3 but 720p still fills the whole screen. The aspect ratio control in fact doesn't do anything on 720p. Did anyone call Gateway for this?
On the manual of the 2690 (link: http://www.necdisplay.com/corpus/7/5/LCD2490_LCD2690wuxi_user_manual.pdf) page 22 of the manual (page 24 of pdf) under Tag7 you can set Side Border Color. Quote from the manual "Adjusts the side black bars color between black and white. For wide aspect...
Does anybody know how to locate either a LCD2690WUXi-BK-SV or the one without the SpectraView II? I would prefer to buy the bundle but I cannot find it anywhere in the US. I really wouldn't like to place a backorder cause they tend to be unpredictable.
travbomb do you have any suggestions?
You can download the manual from: http://www.necdisplay.com/corpus/7/5/LCD2490_LCD2690wuxi_user_manual.pdf
On page 16 of the document (18 of the pdf) it shows you how to enter the advanced functions. On page 17 (19 of the pdf) and under Tag1 you can find the Low Bright Mode which you can...
Thanks for the info guys. Out of curiosity, did any of you experiment with the ultra low brightness mode available through the avdvanced settings?
One more kinda random question? Have you tried connecting the 2690 to HDTV signals such as 480p, 720p and 1080p? I was wondering if you can...
High brightness is actually my main issue with the current generation panels. I am glad to hear that you can turn down the brightness of your 2690 all the way down to 120 (cd/m2 I assume) but I was wondering if you could be a bit more specific on how dim that actually feels. How dark is the...
That's exactly what I thought too. The first step in tuning ClearType is choosing between RGB and BGR sub-pixel configuration and that sounds that could easily be the source of the problem. Try using the ClearType power toy at:

Congrats! Could you please share the place where you got your monitor from? I am trying to find one in the US but no one seems to have it in stock. I called NEC and they couldn't help me either.
BTW, is the SV version released in the states yet?
Thanks so much for the info. I cannot help but wondering though, who those "various distributors" are :) If you could post a few retailers (the more the better) I would greatly appreciate it and I will follow up with a call with them in a day or two.
I totally agree with you that 1920x1080 60Hz is correct. I was just curious why they didn't call that 1080p in the menu as they did with everything else (1080i, 720p, 480p). I was pointing out a matter of consistent naming not malfunction.
This is interesting to know about the new output...
