Title: NEC PA272W-BK-SV Being replaced by new model ?
Post by: K.C. on November 30, 2014, 01:27:50 pm

With all the new models listed on the NEC web site it's not clear to me if the PA272W-BK-SV is being discontinued. Anyone have any idea ?

Is it still a good solution ?

Is I buy one do I want the hood for it ?

I did search and read some threads. Any information would be appreciated.

I would say the hood is very useful, I have it and like it.

Sorry but I have no insight whether it is being discontinued.

The PA272W is very much NOT being discontinued. It's one of our most popular models.

I have a six year old NEC 2690WUXI with the Gretag Eye One Display 2 puck and SpectraView II app that I purchased as the NEC package.  It has been a great monitor with nearly 11,000 hours of use, still calibrates well, but is starting to deteriorate with a diffuse dark band running across the central third of the screen.  I'm thinking of replacing it with the PA272W-BK. 

Will my current puck and software successfully calibrate the new monitor, or do I need to re-acquire their current SV package?
thanks
Brad

Yes you can use the existing software license and sensor. It won't be quite as accurate as the iOneDisplayPro / NEC MDSVSENSOR3, but will get the job done.
