I've got the NEC 3090 and the SpectraViewII software, latest version. When I look at my images on this monitor I am still dumbfounded by how good they look, and my old monitor (NEC 2060u) was a fine monitor. I have got the softproofing/print viewing routine working, so that I can print with no surprises. There is room for all the pallets (oops! I forgot: "panels") on the right side, including the tools panel. I can work for hours without a hint of eyestrain. Maybe I'm missing something by not getting a monitor that costs2 times as much or more, but I'm one happy camper with my setup.
