Thank you for your your reply. Yes, I might give a try. However, I don't think adding another pump would change anything. The NexXxos XP is very restrictive, so the fittings and the tube are. Adding a second pump in-series would increase the pressure head but would only result in a...

Hi, I got my PC recently upgraded: Intel Core i5-3570K, MSI Z77A-G43 (will be replaced), 2x 4 GB Crucial Ballistix Tactital (1866 MHz), 2-way CrossFire of Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. All being overclocked and installed in a Zalman HTPC case. On the other hand, I have...

Did you read my entire post? I was not "forced to", but NEC first generation MultiSync 90 are hardly available here. Not to mention the huge price gap between the 'conventional' and SpectraView versions: are a hood and a colorimeter so expensive Mr. NEC? I'd like to see these monitor...

Hi albovin, I paid £1286.85 (i.e. €1398.76 / $2050.98) for monitor, hood, colorimeter (X-Rite i1Display 2), shipping (UPS) and VAT (15%). Is that expensive? Yes, it is. However, the situation is very different here, in Europe. For example, the LaCie 526 that you mentioned costs at least...

Hi, I recently bought an EIZO ColorEdge CG243W graphic monitor. It was calibrated with the EIZO ColorNavigator v5.2.3.6 software and an X-Rite i1Display 2 colorimeter. Here are my first impressions: Gamut: Despite EIZO announces a 97% coverage of the Adobe RGB colour space (xy), the monitor...

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, Quadro profesional video cards are VERY expensive, too expensive.

My Radeon HD 4850 512MB (Sapphire) has two DVI DualLink outputs. Since my monitor (HP LP2480zx) only accepts 30bits over HDMI and DisplayPort, I tried with the supplied DVI-to-HDMI adapter and an HDMI 1.3 cable. Unfortunately, I found no trace of a "30bits option" in the driver. The monitor...

Hi, I am looking for a video card that supports 30bits (10bits/channel) output over HDMI or DisplayPort. I know that video cards have been using 30bits RAMDAC for a long time. However, in practice it seems a bit more complicated. Cheaper is better. I have no specific requirements in...

*VA and IPS monitors are rare and expensive here, in Europe. From my experience, in France most shops only have TN monitors in stock. If you want a *VA or an IPS, you have to order it. And most of them are much more expensive here than in the US.

Yes. The A-TW polarizer, the ability to get very low brightness level and finally the ability to switch between different color spaces were appealing...

Last replacement unit : Pathetic results, aren't they? :(

Right...but I can't switch for the monent. I think that the "blotchiness" results from the RGB LED backlighting. Actually, in the absence of local correction (that you highlighted;)), deviations in the LED characteristics can resultat in a difference in color temperature. The question is...

You are perfectly right. Actually, I sold a lens and increased my budget up to €950. I could not find an "old" NEC with an A-TW polarizer, and therefore I decided to go for secondhand HP DreamColor LP 2480zx for £811.33 (€946) in the UK.

I can't switch, because I can't be refund and I can't sell a monitor with such a uniformity issue. The NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² comes with an LG-Philips H-IPS panel too, does'nt it?

Hi, I bought an HP DreamColor LP2480zx monitor. The unit was in revision GHG001, July 2008, made in China. It suffered from important color temperature variations accross the display. With an X-Rite i1Display 2 colorimeter, I measured a difference of 1120K (!) between the two left corners...
