I would be really curious to know whether the humm has been fixed as well. thats the only reason I sent my 2690 v1 back. otherwise it was a great monitor. Monitor Guy....any news on the humm being fixed in 2690 version 2?

Thats a really useful link - thanks. I wonder if someone knows where there is a full list of the monitors that have an internal programmable look-up table (LUT)?, eg. NEC2690, Samsung XL24, Eizo SX2461 etc.

I also experience a green/pink problem - maybe similar to that described by rgazaway. If I look straight at the centre of the monitor on a white screen - the centre appears white, glance to the left of the screen and there is a hint of green in the white. glance to the right of the panel and...

An update on the buzz/hum on my NEC2690. I followed soujir0u's idea and got a transformer to test the monitor at 110v. In my case it made no difference to the hum/buzz - it was still there. I can only conclude that the buzz/hum is related to the backlight. (When my ear is pressed near the side...

Snowdog - great review - thanks! I'm really keen on this monitor - but like others can't buy it in the UK. I know there's a 24" S-IPS hazro out there - but its not really the same animal - it has a glossy screen and non-adjustable stand. There are also reports of banding issues. As...

Has anyone been able to collate information, (maybe in tabular format would be useful) which shows which NEC MULTISYNC 2690 WUXi revisions:- 1. Have the hum/buzz issue due to brightness adjust/voltage at 240 problem 2. Work with spectraview II to allow hardware LUT adjustment (if any do?). I...

Has anyone been able to collate information, in tabular form, which shows which NEC2690 revisions have the hum/buzz issue? I have seen a lot of reference to various european revisions such as 4A, 4B, 4F. I have just bought a NEC2690 and my monitor is labelled revision 1A manufactured 2008/08...

I have just bought a NEC 2690Wuxi - NON spectraview version. Im located in the UK. I am curious about my abilty to calibrate it if I get the spectraview II software and a gretag Eye1 display 2. I have look in my table E in the advanced menu and cannot see any reference to locking out of...

Hi Micky, thanks for the info. As per my previous post, is there a way to turn ON/OFF the overdrive circuit from the on screen menus. I wonder whether the twinkling only occurs in movie mode? how did you import from japan? what was your source there? Pete

I spoke with Benq tech support in Uk a couple of weeks ago. they confirmed there IS a second firmware update being worked on. they didnt say what it would fix though.

Hi. I had a demo of the 2410 but havent seen the 2411 in action. the only thing that put me off the 2410 was the horrendous "twinkling" due to the overdrive circuit. The "twinkling" is shown as white flashes at high speed when watching video. I wonder if you can see this same thing on the 2411...

Hi. it might be worth waiting for the new Eizo 24" due in June. here's a link to a thread I started on this monitor. Given the monitor's product name it seems to be geared to HD and to coping with input from external sources. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1178535

Thanks for the info chippy. glad to hear native digital are flexible and offered choice to return if unhappy. I wouldnt have thought the 7 day UK distance selling regs apply if you have unpacked and tried the item? On a technical note - how have you found the monitor for playing DVD and video...

Hi Chippy, I've been looking at these monitors for a while now and its only the dead pixel policy of Eizo Uk that has put me off taking the plunge. When you spoke with Native Digital - how did they react to you saying you would be sending back if there was a dead pixel ? - were they happy to...

not sure about whether your pc spec will cope. were you able to try a 1080i file from same thread link -there are three files listed under HEISE on that thread and the files listed on the thread under VASST are also 1080i format.

Before I take the plunge to buy the benq241W im trying to find out if it actually works displaying 1080i video files over the DVI port. Shawkie reported blurring earlier in this thread. It would be a simple test if any Benq 241W owner is willing to help out :D ? To run the test, download a...

I'm currently trying to find a 24" monitor with 1080i support over dvi. Reading the threads its not clear whether the BenQ 241W works correctly with 1080i over dvi (shawkie reported a blurred image) Many have said 1080i works ok over HDMI input with the benq - BUT can anyone confirm that 1080i...

Is anyone able to confirm that they have 1080i working properly over DVI on the Benq 241W? This is a critical factor in my purchasing decision since I'm going to be using the monitor to display/edit HDV camcorder output (1080i) once copied onto the pc from the camcorder HDD drive. As far...

Im also looking for a 24" widescreen monitor. I've seen some monitors on a demo so I can add to the discussion - certainly where the Eizo 2410W/S2411W is concerned since thats one of my options. Im weighing up the Eizo against the Benq 241W and the Dell 2407. The Eizo 2410/2411 (S-PVA...

Im in the market for a 24" LCD monitor. I am not a gamer and use it mainly for graphic design, office and some video editing. I plan to get a HDV camcorder in mear future (jvc OR sONY) The monitor I buy must be able to handle 1080i files over the DVI connection from the pc - as I understand...

i'm in the market for a 24" LCD monitor. I plan to use it for HDV editing once I get an HDV camcorder in the near future. TFT central state that the Dell 2407 cant handle the 1080i - which is the typical output file format from an HDV camcorder. has anyone been able to confirm this fact for...
