The LCD2490WUXi has now been replaced by the LCD2490WUXi2. You can read about the differences between the two here: http://www.necdisplay.com/supportcenter/monitors/spectraview2/faq/#LCD2490WUXi_and_LCD2490WUXi2_Specific_Questions

WG = Wide Gamut P = Professional (entry level) PA = Professional Advanced

The SpectraView bundle with the PA241W will be several weeks out still. If you want it ASAP, your best bet is to buy the display and SVII-KIT separately for now.

It would only really be useful if you are working in an non-color-managed workflow that was using an AdobeRGB colorspace. If you are using color managed apps, then you may as well take advantage of the full color gamut of the display and not be restricted to Adobe RGB for no good reason.

The mode created by SpectraView II will be full color gamut. Create or select a Picture Mode for sRGB on the OSD or MultiProfiler if you need to work in an sRGB environment.

I'll look into the BT709 question. If you need to have a gamma response outside the default ones on the OSD or in MultiProfiler, then MultiProfiler allows you to create an arbitrary custom curve by using the "Display Emulation" function and selecting the ICC profile of whatever colorspace you...

Thanks for pointing out the broken link - it should be fixed now. The SMPTE-C primaries are available as a preset in MultiProfiler.

The new MultiProfiler software is now available in English here: http://www.necdisplay.com/MultiProfiler/

You may want to try the procedure outlined in FAQ #3 on page 41 of the SpectraView II User's Guide. Question: I’m using two different displays and calibrating both to the same target, however the white points do not match exactly. What can I do to improve this? Answer: This issue can be...

MultiProfiler will be available for free download from the NEC website in the next few weeks. It adds a GUI interface to many of the monitor controls and color settings, as well as allowing you to create printer emulations using the display's internal 3D LUT and an ICC profile from the...

It's a p-IPS panel.

The PA271W will be out before the PA301W - so expect it around early Summer. >>WILL (not Bill)

All of the PA series will have wide gamut panels. The color gamut is fully controllable using a custom 3D color processor and you can adjust to any gamut and white point by adjusting CIE xy values. The sRGB mode on the PA241W is actually better than regular "sRGB native" panels because it...

Price for the P301W will be very comparable with the current LCD3090WQXi. However it won't be available until around early fall.

It's a TN panel.

Correct.

The street price of the LCD2490WUXi2 should be the same as the LCD2490WUXi in the US. You may be able to find some deals on the LCD2490WUXi simply because it is moving to "discontinued" status.

I see there are a lot of rumors about the new LCD2490WUXi2. Here are the official specs and changes: 1. Max brightness decreases slightly to 320 cd/m^2. This is better suited for most imaging work, and will give a slightly better contrast ratio when working at very low luminance levels. 2...

The HDMI input information is incorrect. The display has DVI-I, DVI-D, and VGA inputs. You can of course use HDMI->DVI adapters, so that is maybe where the idea of 2 HDMI inputs came from. Press release for Europe is here...

Yes the LCD2490WUXi in Europe is sRGB. It is identical to the one sold in the US and Japan.

So are you saying that after you have calibrated the monitor by SV and NOT touched any of the OSD controls, the "Low Bright Mode" is ON? When you calibrate by SV it should be automatically turning that setting off. What version of SV are you using? Again, if you are calibrating by SV, you...

The manual Intensity feature was really only intended to be used once in order for you to determine visually what luminance value you want to use. The idea was that you would then create a Target with that desired luminance value and use it for the next calibration, rather than having to...

When you are adjusting the monitor by the OSD only, then the numerical brightness value gives an indication of the actual luminance as calculated by the monitor itself. This is based off of the current settings and the internal luminance sensor. If the value is continually flashing, it means the...

Some quick comments - If you want to get the maximum contrast ratio possible: 1. Set the "Calibration Priority" to "Maximize Contrast Ratio" in the Preferences. 2. Turn off "Use Auto Luminance" in the Preferences. 3. Set the "Contrast Ratio" in the Target to Default. 4. a) Set...

No the LCD2490WUXi is not being updated. Only the LCD2690 was updated to the LCD2690WUXi2 with panel and firmware improvements.

Can you list specifically what Target settings you are using? Also look on the Advanced OSD menu and check that: "Auto Brightness" is off, "Low Bright Mode:" should be "---". ECO mode should be Off. Unchecking "Check calibration status on launch" will get rid of the message because...

A couple of comments and suggestions: 1. The "Manual Adjustment" Target setting is really only meant to be used once to allow you to interactively find an acceptable Intensity value. Once you have calibrated to an acceptable value, you should make a new Target and change the Intensity mode to...

It's basically a shortcut available on the OSD that will let you switch color modes in two button presses instead of having to go through the menu structure.

The main changes in this updated version of the LCD2690 are: 1. Color gamut increased slightly - mainly in the blue. The blue primary now matches the LCD3090 and lies outside the sRGB/AdobeRGB gamut. This allows much more saturated blues to be displayed. 2. The contrast ratio is increased...

Are you using analog (VGA) or digital (DVI) video to the monitor? You should be using digital if possible. If you must use analog, make sure you are using the v1.0.42 version of the SpectraView software. That could be the cause of the curve issue. The Spyder devices are notoriously bad at...

Panels on the LCD3090WQUXi and European "SpectraView 30" are the same. The spec is 106.6% "size" vs Adobe RGB, and 97.5% "coverage" vs Adobe RGB (when measured in CIE xy). Or if you prefer the fairer comparison of using u'v' colorspace, the spec is 119.2% "size" vs Adobe RGB, and 99.3%...

The problem is probably because you are using analog VGA video and not digital DVI as recommended. Make sure you are using the latest version 1.0.42 of SpectraView. Also before you calibrate you should try operating the AUTO CONTRAST control on the OSD. Use the built-in test pattern in...
