If you had a choice between the NEC LCD3090WQXI-BK monitor and Samsung XL30, which one would you pick and why or would you choose another model or wait for something new to come out.
From the information that I have gathered and from various members of this forum:
NEC:
+ advanced integrated menu, superb configurability
+ H-IPS
+ lower cost vs pro monitors (e.g. Ezio, Planar)
+ excellent scalar
+- auto brightness but still too bright when not using panel dimming
- text sharpness (graininess, ips sparkle)
- excessive heat & warmup period
- background bleeding
XL30:
+ LED BLU (thats what its all about)
+ excellent color rendition (subject to second negative point)
+ widest gamut available
+ superior text
+ brightness where it should be
- astronomical price
- QC issues
- 1st generation bugs
- input lag (unknown value)
- PVA (though better than other non Samsung 30" PVA panels)
