Nec 2960 for photo editing?

So yours is the 3090 Multisync with separate Spectraview II software?

Yes. As far as I know, there's only one 3090 (or 2490, or 2690) with the name SpectraView. You can purchase with or without the software and even a supported Colorimeter. You want to drive this fine display with the NEC software as you're now taking advantage of all the technology inside that unit.

The NEC supplier was spinning me the line that the Spectraview monitors (as opposed to the Multisync)  were hand picked off the prodcution line and had some hardware modifcations to enable use of the Spectraview software - was I being fed marketing b*ll?

Again, you want the SpectraView line. There might be a less expensive unit of the same size called Multisync but what you want is on this page:

I've done some googling and it may be that European NEC models (I'm in the UK) are different to the US models.

This looks like this means that in Europe the Multisync models listed on your link will not fully support the SV software and only European NEC screen variants badged as SV will support the SV software (due to internal hardware changes).

You can do it. I changed my 2990wuxi to SV 2690.

Cheers for the link

Looking at the last post in thhe thread though, NEC may have shut down this avenue on later models and this workaround may not be availalbe on the European Multisync3090?

In my new 2190UXi the combination has been hanged, so it's possible. But you can always get Spectraview II profiler...

A part of allowing basiccolor to use hardware calibration, do you know what other changes does it make to the monitor??, I tried it and the brightness comes down a little, and the led turns green.

In theory nothing, just that, possibility of hardware calibration, maybe it resets your previous adjustments?

My led is green when working, orange in standby.

p.d ahhhh, and if you can, use Spectraview software to calibrate by hardware... it's a lot easier...
