Argh, here I am with a NEC 20WGX2, and while the image is colorful and pretty, the black levels are absolutely TERRIBLE. I've been trying all the DV modes, all possible brighness/contrast combinations, and fiddling with QuickGamma to try to bring them up. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I can't see any darks below RGB 10,10,10, which is utter garbage. My broken old CRT will start showing it around RGB 3,3,3! If I remember correctly, the NEC LCD2070NX actually showed up around 5, which was acceptable, but editing black and white photos on this screen is impossible, when the lower half of the spectrum shows up as a big black blob.
The special DV modes have insane banding, and advance DV will actually adjust brighness and contrast depending on what your screen is showing, so moving a photo around will make the same pixels look brighter and darker depending on where they are on the screen, which is, again, utter garbage.
I haven't tried gaming or movie watching or anything such yet, but so far the glossy coating seems more pleasant than the matte alternative of the 2070NX, but with the crappy blacks I am miserable with this screen.
I'm hoping other 20WGX2 owners will assist me and check where they start seeing the gray square on the following page:

Please report back if you can see it below 10,10,10 without bringing dithering about, and at what settings.
