 Spend some money on the one gadget you stare at the most. May 15, 2010
lighten_up_already2 (Kirkland, WA USA)
Well, my trusty old 21" Trinitron monitor finally died and after quite a bit of research I decided to spend some money (probably even less than that old Trinitron monitor cost when it was new!) and get a really good monitor that I could live with for a long time.
I don't use this for professional graphics, and I don't know all the subtleties of LCD monitors, but I sure am glad I spent the money and got this one.
One thing I learned the hard way about LCD monitors is that they really like to run in their native resolution mode. Every LCD I've ever used looks pretty good for general use in its native mode, and then makes things blurry in lower resolutions. But this one is different. I've got it running at 1680 x 1050 and it's just great for general web surfing and office type applications.
And, when I do crank up the Photoshop CS4, which I do own and do create graphics with, I've got that wide gamut goodness and enough real estate on my screen to put all those layers and tools to the side never have them overlap the artwork that I'm creating.
Oh yeah, I put a little piece of electric tape over the bright little blue light in the lower right corner. It's annoying, and I can tell when the monitor is on without that kind of help.
So, it made sense to pony up and pay for the one piece of technology that I spend most of my time with, and besides these eyes ain't getting any younger.
Hands down.. the best Pro graphics monitor for the buck. November 14, 2009

I have this monitor now for 6 months for intensive graphic design, and PSD work. After much research this is what I concluded would be the best buy for a serious graphics monitor. My hopes were more then satisfied. This monitor has all the traits and features for serious work.. Uniformity compensation is huge benifit in keeping every porition of the screen at even luminosity. The color accuracy with eyeone2 and autocalibration is a godsend. There is absolutely NO drawbacks or quirks I have been able to find... No twinkling or glowing that some ips panels have, perfect uniformity, 12bit lut calibration ability, Deep amount of customization with ione2 software/calibraton- things like setting up white points is great... The 4 year warranty, ... The huge amount of real-estate 26" is perfect dotpitch.. The adobe rgb wide gamut is perfect for serious modern digital photography where the larger gamut is usefull.
In every regard This is the perfect monitor.. I am very picky but there is not a single negative, quirk, or issue with this.. it is a serious piece of hardware for graphic designers, photographers that need a serious tool..
 Significant downgrade from the original model - LCD2690WUXI July 31, 2009

I compared LCD2690WUXI2 to the earlier LCD2690WUXI side by side. The new model lacks the A-TW polarizer (Advanced True Wideangle), lack of which causes a significant off-angle white glow. I found it truly bothersome with a screen of that size - with an image with significant black areas you have to sit and look perfectly on-center to avoid that phenomenon. Very unfortunate cost-savings on the NEC's part. With the original model, you can look at the display from any angle, and it will look perfectly the same - pretty astonishing in fact. Needless to say I promptly returned the new NEC and bought another original (now own two).
This is a shame, because otherwise it's truly outstanding monitor. Version 2 has improved controls that make switching between color spaces easier than on the original. The original LCD2690WUXI is no-doubt my favorite piece of equipment I have bought recently. The original deserves 5 stars. If I didn't know what the new monitor is missing, I'd have given it four stars, but since I know I give it two.
Very good PRO monitor ! June 24, 2009

I was in the need for a monitor that can be reliably calibrated so that my prints match the screen as close as possible. This monitor does the job.
It is very well build and the fact that the calibration information is saved internally in the monitor leaves very small chances to screw things up. Among the PRO monitors it is still probably one of the cheapest and my experience with NEC monitors was great.
You can find may reviews of this monitor online so I will not dwell on the technical aspects but I just want to say this:
This monitor comes in 2 versions, one with just the monitor and the other with the calibration kit (monitor + sensor + software). The second version is approx. $300 more and harder to find. If you already have a standard Eye One sensor, it will work with it, you just need to buy the SpectraView Software. I think that the sensor that comes with the kit is a standard Eye One sensor with the NEC name on it. Save some money guys....
