NEC 24 or 26.....?

[Liight]

Ok, Here is my question:

Wide gamut issues aside (I know the pro-con and have read the opinions ad nasuem)..

1. Which NEC would you/did you choose and why?

2. Are you happy with your choice? Why or why not?

3. Was it worth the extra 500$ over a DS/HP/Planar? Why or why not?

Thanks in advance!

The general concensus is that the 2490 (the 24-inch model) is the best. Due to it not being a wide-gamut monitor (meaning the color is easier to adjust) and the build quality appears to be generally better than the 2690. Also, due to the smaller size, text will be sharper on the 2490.

Could you expound upon the build quality comment? I have heard this once or twice but I am curious about what the actual difference is...

I bought a 2690. The 2490 isn't available in Europe so I didn't really have a choice. I am happy with it and specifically went for it as I wanted the good colours and calibration features.
