To save Travbomb coming back again to answer this... No, neither of these screens have a glossy coating although there will be a 24WMGX2 which obviously will have. I got this info from this thread btw. Apparently due out in April, which is also stated in this thread.

I don't know how you can say that based on a review that basically tells you nothing.2609 review http://www.behardware.com/articles/648-1/nec-multisync-lcd2690wuxi-the-first-26-inch.html

Basically, this review tells me nothing about how the monitor really performs.
Great news. Finally it can be ordered. Too bad it still takes almost one month before delivery begins. And who knows how long it takes to get one here in Europe. Meanwhile there should be some reviews out.I saw the NEC 2690 today at MacWorld. It's gorgeous! Mr. NEC-man said that it's in mass production now, and they've released the SKU so that resellers can accept orders. He said to expect delivery in very early February. MSRP $1499.

NEC-man here in Sweden told me - July 2007![]()

Oh dear, that long! Month ago I e-mailed NEC Sweden and asked about release date. They didn't even bother to answer.NEC-man here in Sweden told me - July 2007![]()

I don't think there is a specific restriction for the DVI cable concerning bit depth, Although they are restricted to a certain bandwidth. One such bandwidth restriction is 1920x1200@60Hz-32bit (for 32bit read 8bit per channel). Now I suppose you could have 960x600@60Hz-64bit through a single link DVI (I may be wrong) but for a decent resolution with all thouse colours you would need to go to Dual DVI. This is all in theory based on bandwidth though, I don't think anything supports this kind of specification. Display devices that support more than 8bit are starting to come out, the cable they'll use to transfer the data will most likely be HDMI 1.3.
All this is irrelevant for your question though. The NEC LCD2690WUXi supports a wider colour gamut (colour space) but this only improves the colour space that you can see. Most other LCDs only seem to reproduce around 70% of the Adobe RGB colour space, so this could well be a good thing. I have looked at TVs that support this feature though and I struggle to see the difference when they are right next to each other.
This is true,
The color gamut has nothing to do with the DVI spec. If you buy a AdobeRGB monitor, use the right corresponding color space and don't mes up you monitor calibration, then you will see AdobeRGB. I personaly doubt if you notice the difference in real life images. Furthermore no printer is capable of printing AdobeRGB.
The 2690 has a simple 8 bit DVI connection, so it's color accuracy will be LESS then sRGB monitors. An sRGB monitor uses 256*256*256=16.78mil different colors out of the 70% AdobeRGB color space. The 2690 monitor selects *only* 16.78 mil colors out of 92% AdobeRGB color space.
Only the very-very expensice NEC Spectraview Reference monitor has a 10bit DVI connection that can select 1024*1024*1024=1bilj colors out of 92% AdobeRGB color space. As far as I know only the ATI FireGL video card supports 10 bit DVI. However this card doesn't make sense with the 2690, since the monitor has only an 8 bit connection.
I got this info from the NEC USA customer support.
Furthermore no printer is capable of printing AdobeRGB.
They advertise the 2690 at CDW.COM So I Try to get some info at CDW, they e-mail me they wont get it BEFORE 2 to 3 weeks minimum!!! at CDW in Canada it's not before 30 days!!!![]()
Wich tells me it might be Longer than that...So feed up of waiting...It's always push back....at this rate it will be out this spring or this summer...
I'm starting to think i should go with Eizo...and caugh up the $$$$.
It's been for sale in Europe since late November.
It has been for sale but Europe has not gotten any product yet either.
An handful of units were sent out to reviewers after Mac World so more reviews should be coming out shortly.
I would recommend checking out the article and podcast from MacWorld about why the monitor was given best in show.
I will believe it when I see it. Everything that you have said so far is nothing but total rubbish.
