Hi.

I'm also new to this forum, and I have to begin with and say that I'm also glad I find you :)

I see that you tend to spend allot money on your equipment and i have just done the same.
I have ordered a new Nec 3090wqxi black 30" screen.

Now to the actual question...
How do i set it up correctly? I mean. How do i get the best out of the screen by doing calibration and settings?
I do not have a hardware calibrator.

My other setup is the following:
C2D E6600, Radeon HD4850, Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. 8GB ddr2.

Today i have a 21" 4:3 screen ( Samsung 214T ). And sitting about 1/2-1 arm length from that one with my eyes. I do not see so good thats way. Maybe you got any advices about DPI settings and zoom to get best picture when reading etc.

Thanks / Crixi from Sweden
 
I join your question, what is the best way to calibrate a monitor without hardware calibrator?
(in my case the Eizo S2433W)

Congrats on the kickass monitor :)
I wish I had the budget for a 30" monitor.
 
You can always use the Norwegian browser Opera, I find it's zooming option to be far better than Firefox.
Have a look at www.opera.com
If your 3090 comes with bad (stuck) pixels you can always try a program like jscreenfix to revive them. There's a fair chance it will un-stuck the subpixels. Completely dead (black/white) ones are a lost cause though.

Eizo monitors are calibrated from the factory as far as I know. Gradually it will drift away from that though...
I'd buy a calibrator after half a year or so if you want the colors to be really accurate, perhaps you could rent it to a couple of friends/colleagues to get some cash back. :p

Other wise the Xrite EyeOne Display 2 is a very good colorometer and software package. They can be had for about $200.00 on amazon.com

Also, the EOD2 will plug straight into the NEC and calibrate without any additional software which is nice.
 
Tanks for the replays.

My order is now shipped! :D Can't wait until i get the screen.
The only thing i can compare to in terms of size is a 32 inch TV (of the crt type).
But i think that one is the worst TV ever made. It was a outgoing old model when it was bought on sale.

I found the "EyeOne Display 2" on a Swedish page for a bit to much $ for my taste. Maybe its worth it in half a year or so when the so told manufacture calibration get aged. If i am right of curse.

I will make a new post when i have gotten it. Hoping for no initial problems like pixel errors or so.

Any other suggestions about calibrating the screen w/o h/w calibrator?
(2 shorten words in one sentence :) )
 
To be very blunt and frank about it, such a monitor should not be bought without a colorimeter to calibrate it properly, it is a waste. Don't expect accurate gamma and colour out of the box, the factory settings are way off.

The 'Eye One Display LT' package is cheapest way to get a good colorimeter (less than €100) perfectly compatible with NEC's own 'SpectraView II' software.. which is the best way to get the most from your display.
 
Hi agen.

Just got the 30" screen just few hours ago.
It is huge! :) Its even bigger change just because its also from 4:3 to a 16:10.

No dead pixels so far. I got to say i am very happy at the moment!
Now i just have to buy a new little table so i can have somewhere to put my coffeecup and buns :D
 
After doing some testing it seams like the lower right corner got some brighter shine when watching a black picture.
This is only anoyningly vissable when having a dark room and wathing dark movies.

Is this something that is ok for a new tft?

Another thing. The most front layer of the screen got me a bit confused. That layer is not tighten to the lower layers.
That means that if i pres a little at it on the upper part of the screen the layer sinks in 1mm. You can rely feel its loose. But when doing the same on the brighter corner for an example. then there is no such movement at all.

Don't know if that meant to be so.
 
It should be loose all the way arround. This is done for heat expansion. The added light in the corner is known as back-light bleed. Unfortunately it is a common problem with this type of S-IPS LCD. I would not worry about it unless it is very obvious. It would be good if you can put up a picture, so that others that have this display can give you advise on what to do about it, if anything.
