Is anyone here familiar with NEC naming scheme and its meaning. Looking at NEC display web site I'm confused about the differences of their monitors
http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Class/?class=50a33cd6-6267-4bb7-b7b8-33e412b8fb3c

For example I can't figure out the meaning of highlighted number and letters of these models
LCD2490WUXI2-BK
LCD2490W2-BK-SV
LCD2180WG-LED-BK
P221W-BK-SV

BK is the color of the case/bezel...

That's all I know... haha... I'm assuming W is widescreen, and LED means LED backlighting...

90 = 90 Series
WUX = WUXGA, meaning 1920x1200
i = IPS
2 = Second Edition
BK = Black
SV = SpectraView
80 = 80 Series
WG = Wide Gamut?
LED = LED
P = PVA?
W = Wide

thanks guys,
I'm confused between the differences of these two. Isn't the one that suppose to be better and newer cost less? Or am I missing something?

The LCD2490WUXi has now been replaced by the LCD2490WUXi2. You can read about the differences between the two here:
