Nec Computers 24-Inch LCD Monitor (LCD2490WUXI-BK)
A month ago my Dell CRT monitor died. I decided to replace it with an LCD monitor, but since I like to putter around in Photoshop I needed one with excellent color fidelity, resolution and convergence. After some investigation I decided on the NEC LCD2490, and ordered from Amazon. It arrived promptly.
A careful examination showed that all pixels were present and functioning. I don't have a colorimeter, but testing with Displaymate indicated that the colors appeared to be accurate, convergence was excellent all over the screen, as was the ability to distinguish small contrast changes. Best of all, the pictures I had recently taken with my Canon EOS 40D were breathtaking in their detail, color, vividness and immediacy; very much better than they had appeared on the old CRT.
The size is just right for editing two side-by-side document pages in Microsoft Word; very useful. The only caveat is that the screen is a little brighter than I would like, even though I have set the brightness to 0. Overall I am more than satisfied.

Very fine monitor; extremely expensive

| If you are not a pro photographer or graphic designer, you really don't need this monitor. If you are, it is a good choice. I had to sell a piece of my soul to buy it, but it was worth it to me. For another $200 or so, you can get the NEC Spectraview software and a monitor calibration puck for critical work. |
The best pro option for this price range

| I originally bought a Samsung Syncmaster 245T thinking that I could save some bucks but I had to send it back since it was just too far off colour-wise, even with hardware calibration. I received this today and it's perfect - dead-on, natural colour, even without having calibrated yet and no input lag. This is the absolute minimum you can spend for professional imaging in my opinion. |

I bought this monitor to replace my aged NEC-Mitsubishi 2070SB for amateur photo editing. It is absolutely spectacular with accurate color and wide viewing angles, and printed output closely matches screen images. While I was leery about abandoning my CRT for an LCD my fears were totally unfounded; this fine monitor is an upgrade over the CRT! I already own a LaCie Blue Eye Pro calibrator and it works perfectly with this monitor and NEC's SpectraView II software (purchased separately through NEC). You can store calibration data for different conditions and recall these monitor settings via software without having to re-calibrate every time or manually adjust the monitor. Very convenient.
Since this monitor lives at home it will see some gaming from time to time. My teenage son reports no major problem with input lag, ghosting or smearing of images. |
THE monitor for photo editing

| The search is over! For years I was struggling to find an acceptable monitor for photo editing. For years I used an Apple Cinema Display with my Gen 1 MacBook Pro. I calibrated with the GreTag-MacBeth Eye-One and had good results, but my laptop monitor and the ACD color never totally matched. I then got a MacPro with dual Dell ULTRASHARP 2408WFP displays. I picked these because of the brightness statistics, refresh rate, multiple inputs, PIP, and supposedly great color. Big mistake. I could never get them calibrated, even with the $1500 Eye-One spectrophotometer. I sold these at a 50% loss and purchased the NEC. While the NEC costs over twice as much as the Dells and has very limited inputs and worse "statistics", the color and image quality can not be compared. Finally, I have color neutral B&W images and color images that match my prints perfectly. Calibration was a snap, and this monitor now also matches my calibrated ACD. The NEC was worth every penny. |
