NEC 2490 up on NewEgg

thanks, first pre-order I've seen. Now I just need to find some reviews. How about it amdmadman, you want to be the first? :D
 
Only 1 DVI input? A bit disappointing for a monitor at this pricepoint and in this day and age of multi-DVI LCDs. I think the 2690 is more than $100 more though, right?

It has two. One DVI-I and one DVI-D. And the standard VGA input.
 
Do not forget to add in the cost of the Spectraview software that is now being reported to only be available in a bundled format for a huge $400 more.
 
1500? wtf? I got my 24" acer for 550 ffs that's crazy.
That's why you wait my man. Be patient and eventually it will hit your price point. But I dare say that the NEC is better than your Acer and for some people, quality has no price limit.
 
My 2690 was $1551 before shipping - $148 under MSRP. $1499 is full MSRP for the 2490. Wait until some stock is actually out there and those prices ought to drop considerably.

It may drop, but I highly doubt that NEC is going to hit the $550 price point. :)
 
Sooo tempting, but I need the remote! I like watching TV/DVD's etc on my comp in my room while in bed and when I'm done I have to deal with with the screen throwing off all that light (even though I have a black windows background and all).

I've got a remote for my computer (ATI remote wonder), for my speakers (logitech), just need one for the monitor! Guess I'm waiting till what late summer? Ah well, wasn't planning to get an LCD until I get an HD/blu-ray drive and those are a bit on the expensive side for what I consider them to be.

Considerably !? I dont think so..... 999 $ is as high as I will go for a 24" LCD.I dont think we will be seeing the 2490 at that price point any time soon(like this year) Thats what the NEC 24WMGX2 is for? is it not? But Trav said we wouldn't see that untill late 2007 ! :(

So who cares,and on that note,why bother introducing a LCD in the 24" market space a near year before,when the competition has so many other models out and about in the retail channel....

Dude, you're thinking about the wrong market space. 2490 isn't up against Dell, BenQ, etc. It's a professional targeted product and it's up against Eizo CE240W and the like. And at $1500 MSRP it's set to give Eizo some serious heat. Not to mention that the Eizo is S-PVA (wtf?).

The fact that WUXi gots game and there are some gamers willing to pay for it is pure gravy for NEC.
 
A post like this is worthless with a linky to the hardware dude. Now i gotta open my fav box and click on newegg and search for it.... Anyone feeelin me? :eek:

I hear ya, but the problem is, there are NO reviews of this particular model. There are a couple of reviews of the 2690, but none for the 2490. Perhaps you should buy and be the first? :D
