4 out of 5 stars Exceptional quality but at a cost   September 11, 2008
G. Oviedo (Miami, Florida United States)
Excellent options and quality. br /A little pricey br /Make sure you are ok with the wide gamut before buying. br /For movies (blu-ray) I use the Nvidia panel to bring down saturation to ~35%. Otherwise faces are unnaturally pink. br / br /Photoshop is a must.

We are amateur photographers. We take classes from nationally known photographers. We ask them questions about the best equipment. Out of one of these sessions, we learned about this monitor. br / br /Its performance (91% of Adobe RGB) and price are above comparison. Other monitors of this type go for thousands more. br / br /It was her recent birthday present and my stock now is very high.


4 out of 5 stars Astonishing color, HDCP enabled, can play Blu-Ray   July 24, 2008

I got this for editing HD video and photographs. I wanted 1920 pixels with a wide color gamut, and this monitor definitely delivered. Breathtaking color. I was watching the BBC planet earth series in HD and it was amazing. br / br /Four stars because the monitor had a slightly dimmed band around the edge. I don't think a monitor this expensive should have any visible luminance variation. I returned it and got an EIZO monitor. Eizo CE and CG LCD panels are the gold standard.


5 out of 5 stars NEC MulitSync LCD2690WUXi   June 4, 2008

I recently purchased a NEC MulitSync LCD2690WUXi to replace my good, ol' Apple 21 inch studio monitor...which held up really well for many more years than it had a right to. I'm an illustrator who sits in front of a monitor for 50-60 hours every week. This new NEC monitor is a treat to work with. Great color, easy screen management and a generous work area for a very reasonable price.


5 out of 5 stars Identical to LaCie 526   May 26, 2008

Not only is it identical to the LaCie 526. Even the online manuals - from NEC and LaCie - are identical. It's a beautiful monitor, but it's weird that it's sold for such different prices.
