Don't worry. You'll see more products being released in Europe first; since the Euro is trouncing the Dollar.
Which will make me sad.

Huh? The Euro as has the GBP have been falling against the dollar. The Yen has been trouncing the dollar.

You're right. The markets have been fluctuating.
There have been cases recently where products that were supposed to be released in the States are no longer.
Whether they're being released in the Asian or European markets.
That was point I was trying to make.
The differences are: the 2690 is wide gamut and the 2490 has a standard sRGB gamut. Apart from that and the difference in size they are pretty much identical.
Seem to be identical. A guy at Prad just calibrated his one with SpectraviewII. That's what you wanted to know, right?
I also got my new 2490WUXi last monday (from tftshop.net). And of course it has this horrible noise problem. I can slightly hear it at 1m distance in front of the display. So that's not cool.
Build date: 2008.12
Revision: 2EF
Called NEC at thursday to get a replacement. They said I'll get a new one (because of DOA).
I also asked them why this is still a problem as many 2690WUXi users already had this problem. The guy said he doesn't know of such problems and he would know if there were bla bla ...
Crossed fingers that I can get at least one with less noise emission. For >800 this is really a shame.

For those with NEC 2490. I was wondering when you go into the OSD menu and try to adjust for brightness, Is urs go up or down by 0.5? i mean is it at 50-49.5 -49-48.5? Because mine it goes down by weird number like 50-49.6-49.1-48.7-48.2 something like that... Let me know pleae
I have 2690 and brighness set to 0 (who hasn't?) and when I raise it, it goes up by 0.7 .
I think they are just told to shamelessly LIE
That's what I thought too. Standard support answers.
Just got a call from NEC. Will get a new 2490WUXi in about 2 weeks. Nothing available at the moment. They also offered me a 2690 in silver but I don't want a wide gamut display nor silver as color
I also asked the woman again about the known noise problems on the 2690WUXi -> She also didn't know or heard anything about this
Well, maybe the woman actually knows nothing about the noise, because she uses her old TN crap and has never actually saw 2690 nor 2490. But I know even NEC technicians lie and I'm amazed about that. One think is what does my superiors tell me to do and another is a personal dignity. I mean haven't our mothers told us not to lie?
Anyway, I have 2690 with the nosise and I got used to it a long time ago...

For the german readers:
Today I've just sent a mail to NEC about the noise issues:
Also got a response some minutes later saying
So let's hope someone really cares and does something about it ...

It is facinating, that they managed to make something as comlicated as H-IPS LCD panel with a polarizer, but they are unable to create a silent power source
Exactly my thoughts
The new 2690WUXI is mentioned here: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1235365200
Anyone tried it? How's the noise?

On my 2490 it's a bit of both I would say. I can hear it up to 1 meter in front of the display in a pretty quiet room. Not cool.

I know, that in case of 2690 best screens go tpo the SpectraView line. It means screens with best uniformity and without dead pixels. (But still can contain dead sub-pixels!) So maybe the same is with 2490, alhough it is well known, that the screens in 2490 are generally less prone to defects.
If you have the possibility, test Multisync 2490 before buying and save money. You can get a calibrator rather cheap, for 2490 you can go even with Spyder 2 (which is not usable for wide gamut monitors, but OK for sRGB 2490) and you can make a cheap cardboard hood
