5.0 out of 5 stars NEC LCD2490, July 27, 2008

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.

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.

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.
