Yeah, the only thing missing is the DisplayPort cable. They aren't too expensive fortunately. I bought a couple for under $10 each for my Quadro card (since all it has is couple DisplayPort and nothing else).
Man, I'm struggling to not pull the trigger on 3rd one of these from the Egg. MUST WAIT TILL NEXT PAYCHECK! I wonder how long these will be around as inventory?
What kind of tests you did? How e.g. the black & white level and banding test here compare?For some reason, I don't know if it's because I've never seen what "true colors" look like or what, in all honest opinion the Samsung (TV, P2570) wins in almost every personal test I did. Deeper blocks, more rich colors, then again it's heavily calibrated vs. the out-of-the-box settings of the NEC.
If you don't have a calibrator, then out of the box could the best solution (use the color profile file that came with the installation cd). Or you could try TFTCentral's color profiles but since every unit is different, they might not give the best results. TFTCentral didn't find much difference between Native and sRGB, Prad.de found some and iirc they thought Native mode was better.As for calibrations, anyone have any settings I can use? Right now it's set at 50/50 brightness/ contrast sRGB setting.

Just right mouse click it, there should be "Install Profile". Then go to Color Management (Control Panel) to activate it. All the .icc files are stored to \WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color.I have no idea how to install and icc profile, been googling for a while and nada.
I have insufficient knowledge but I think these profiles only affect programs that are color managed (for example Mozilla Firefox and Photoshop) and the differencies could be so small that the eye can't even see them. I don't think reboot is needed.
Btw, the Samsung has a glossy screen? (I googled.) NEC has a matte coating. That's going to make it harder to get them look same.

True, correct colors look quite tame actually. :o That's the truth. Well, depending on what's showing on the screen of course.
Two months ago or so a few people in this thread showed that their 231WMi's came calibrated from the factory. In the sRGB setting. Don't know if that still goes however, haven't followed this thread since then.
Ooops, quoted the images as well
It's 24.6" and 16:9. Maybe this or this comparison will give you better idea.And that's a "25" Samsung Nascasho? Is it 16.9 or 16.10?

...What's your impression? Cheers, John
In the black and white images of the girl there seems to be more contrast and more grey scale gradation on the NEC, J
Well it might have an issue called "black crush" ... Which takes dark grays and makes them all look black.
Which can give the illusion of "deep blacks" but it's pointless if you just lost all the detail in the dark areas.
You can check and compare on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
And just see how each monitor performs in the black and white level tests. Both my NEC's were very good. I see the 1st dark grey box even if brightness / constrast is turned all the way down, and same for white levels... unless I increase contrast past 50 then I lose most of the white level tests.
Then dunno...
Just be happy with what you got... I'm just glad my two NEC's calibrate within 1-2% of eachother... hopefully the 3rd is the same, will make Eyefinity /using them not as much of a pain. I've done dual-monitors in the past and even though I had the same brand/model I couldn't get them calibrated to look the same.
Nascasho- Thanks for the pictures you've posted. Each one is drawing me toward the NEC and away from a Samsung SM2494HM which (with the Dell SP2309W) I've narrowed it down to.
Probably the Samsung would be the most sensible choice; bigger, cheaper, easier, but the NEC's images look great and it doesn't look that small considering it's next to a 25"
Thanks to you both, John
Hi,
I am searching for a monitor upgrade from Samsunga 193p and 2232bw.
I don't game much, I do some photoshoping from time to time (dont use raw) - mostly movies, documents and browsing.
I do like the wide gamut very much but I am always disappointed when I look at my pictures in the monitors of others - so I use the sRGB
I am deciding either to wait for HP ZR24w to come to my country or to take this brilliant NEC EA231WMi. I am sceptic about the new HP since most of first revisions seem all to have some issues, minor or major and NEC seems to just be a very good monitor.
I already dismissed following three: Dell U2410, LG W2220P and Samsung F2380M.
The only thing I am waging is the price, so the question is: if the HP costed the same as NEC, which one would you guys pick?
nascasho what are your settings in the NEC? IE Brightness, contrast, R, G, B.
I understand different panels are not going to look the same with the same settings, I'd like to do a comparison anyways.
