The LCD2490WUXi is a new addition to the 90 series professional line of displays from NEC Display Solutions. This new 2.3 megapixel, 24.0" wide screen (16: 10 aspect ratio), features an H-IPS (Horizontal in Plane Switching) module for superior color representation encompassing 69% of the Adobe RGB color triangle while minimizing off-angle color shift. As with all 90 series products, this new display includes a detachable stand that is height adjustable with pivot, swivel and tilt. This flexibility allows for maximum integration in all medical rooms to display all types and orientations of medical images.

5 out of 5 stars The best pro option for this price range   September 10, 2008

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.

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.
