NEC 1990SXi vs. 1990FX - where's the difference?

[Prognathous]

I'm looking for an S-IPS 19" screen with 1280x1024 native resolution and a pivot. The two in the title are the only ones that answer my set of requirements. The 1990SXi however is significantly more expensive. Is the extra cost justified? What would I be compromising about if I get the 1990FX?

Thanks,
Prog.

The most noticeable difference would probably be the 12 bit LUT and ColorComp, software compensation for backlight inhomogeneity.
Not going into the details the SXi comes with features not found on most other displays except those targeting the medical and design market, the FX is closer an average monitor. If you look at the FX specs and don't see anything missing, it's likely it's not missing anything you'll need.

I wasn't aware of ColorComp and on the surface I must say that it sounds amazing. How effective is it?
