    NEC 2490WUXi - The Full Story

    What is a nec 2490 with the A-TW polarizer worth nowadays? I have one with 6500 hours, it supports hardware calibration with a calibration device. I love mine, but I am thinking of a 27 inch imac

    nec 2490 analog signal only

    Hello hardforum members, I bought a factory refurbished nec2490wuxi monitor, no dead pixels, no scratches on the panel itself, but I can't get the dvi cable to run the 1920x1200 resolution. I tried both DVI-I and DVI-D connections, and my videocard (9600GT) doesn't recognize the monitor as a...

    Eizo CG243/SX2462W discussion

    I guess if you buy the -SV version of a nec monitor you get the same amount of factory testing. This EIZO doesn't have a polarizer right? Though it still has a H-IPS panel, which should be great. I always liked the looks of eizo monitors, the bezel looks nice and matte, not distracting. Do you...

    New i7 Build - 6gb or 12gb?

    I am going to buy an i7 system when windows 7 (64 bit) is released. For applications, I am going to use mudbox 2010, 3d max 2010, some photoshop cs4 (no huge files, max 12MP files, probably one file at a time), all 64bit. I am deciding between the intel X58SO motherboard, which only has 4...

    the dell2007wfp IPS is pretty awesome, but to small resolution. dell 2407wfp is nice too. http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=52&mo1=149&p1=1606&ma2=88&mo2=116&p2=1217&ph=6 other than that... the nec and get a calibrator, its a huge difference

    NEC SpectraView 2490WUXi2 first impressions...

    Has anyone found any new reviews yet? Have to pick a 1920x1200 res monitor soon before my new project starts...I know I want sRGB (many of my clients will have older monitors) and not widegamut, and preferably hardware calibration, but the black backlight glow seems to be to big on the...

    This is useful information. Can you please do this test on your 2490wuxi & wuxi2: http://xtknight.50webs.com/blacktest.htm I am curious if the wuxi2 can display all black levels, I now have to choose between either the 2490wuxi2 (srgb, but glow) or 2690wuxi2 with wide-gamut problems, which...

    NEC lcd2690wuxi 2008 Spectraview activation problem

    So the european original 2490wuxi and original 2690 wuxi work with the US spectraview profiler software, but what about 2490wuxi2 and 2690wuxi2? I guess they 'fixed' that by now in the newer models?

    nec2490wuxi (1) in europe?

    thanks, that link is very handy. seems like i really want a nec. the 4:3 nec's are still very good. i don't think they have reviewed the nec2490wuxi 2 yet though, its nowhere in the list..or it must be worse than their old 4:3 models, dont believe that ;)

    nec2490wuxi (1) in europe?

    There was a list with the top 10 best monitors written on this forum, with the Nec2490wuxi (1) on the first spot. I can't seem to find it anymore.. wonder what the 2nd and 3rd ranking monitors were.

    nec2490wuxi (1) in europe?

    Hi, Does any shop in europe still sell the nec2490wuxi? If not.. whats the 2nd best 24 inch monitor? The 2490wuxi2? Thanks.
  21. M

    need to get back up to speed.

    nec 2490 wuxi, nec 2490wuxi2 both 24 inchers. the HP 2475 is widegamut, not really handy. eizo might be a 2nd option after nec, if you choose one with an ips panel. look for the graphical pro monitors. (prad.de etc)

    greyscale values: shadows washed out

    Hiya. Thanks for your reply. Brightness did the trick. Though white looks very bright too, probably giving me headaches in a while. Thats why they probably invented dark themes though, I guess. My brightness is at 33 out of 100, does that sound alot?

    greyscale values: shadows washed out

    Hi, On my current dell 2007wfp IPS monitor, after trying to calibrate close enough to photochart photos , the shadows are still washed out. Can't see details in shadows. After reading reviews on prad & other sites, this is hard to get right on lcd's. But I wonder if pro-monitors, like the...

    NEC 2490WUXi - The Full Story

    How is video playback with an external player on this monitor? I read it supports 24p, so I assume movies play smoothly. And the image quality must be great too.

    bargain on dell 2007wfp?

    Appearantly the widescreens are sold out, the 2007fpb rev.A02 IPS variants are the only ones left. 1600x1200 resolution, 4:3, is it still worth it?

    bargain on dell 2007wfp?

    Hello, I found what I believe is a bargain, a local shop specialized in refurbishments is selling dell 2007wfp's (he said its ips aswell) for ~180 dollar each. There is still some garanty left on them. I currently have one dell 2007wfp, and would like to go for a dual or triple monitor setup...

    Graphics Artist / Gaming monitor?

    a programmer has to fix bugs, over and over again. it doesn't just 'work' most of the time. i worked at a gamescompany, and each position has it flaws. level and gamedesigners also have to test and tweak alot, playing your level/game for 100 times and changing small stuff each time. i think you...

    NEC 2490WUXI vs EIZO S2431W, IPS vs S-PVA

    A fresh look at an old favorite: my new NEC LCD2490WUXI SV

    Thanks for your reply. I tried searching for a 24 inch Eizo, and they all have PVA according to this list. Some of their older models have IPS though, but they seem to be outdated. I calibrated it by accessing the menu on the dell, and manually changing brightness/contrast aswell as...
