NEC sale ... worthwhile?
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:09:18 pm »

I've been toying with getting a SpectraView compatible monitor for use at home.  (I currently have a old Dell whose main function is to remind me how happy I am to have a NEC2490WUXi2 at work -- I can't do any editing on the Dell.)  Got an email from NEC with some refurbished monitors and some 10%-off monitors and some discontinued monitors.  Unfortunately, I don't know one from the other.  I'm looking for a good deal, on a relatively inexpensive (<$500) monitor that I can calibrate with my Color Munki Photo and Nec's SpectraView II software which will provide color as accurate as my 2490WUXi2.

Here is, I think, the whole list.

Here is a discontinued 22" monitor for $199 (LCD225WXM-BK)

Here is a refurbished slightly newer version of my current monitor (LCD2490WUXI2-BK-R) for $539

How can I tell which NEC monitors are as good as what I have, and work with the SpectraView II software?  (Sorry to be so ignorant -- hardware blanches my critical faculties.)

Thanks.   :)

Of the two you mention, you want the 2490 which will use SpectraView for calibration. Its NOT a wide gamut display if that matters to you.
