NEC Announces 2 New 24-inch MultiSync Monitors

The new 24-inch NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi and LCD2490W2-BK-SV are ideal for graphic arts, desktop publishing, photography, medical imaging and other professional applications. Both monitors feature a native resolution of 1900 x 1200 and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio.

Other details include:

• 320 cd/m brightness
• Standard color gamut ideal for sRGB applications (96.7% coverage of sRGB)
• Auto luminance control with X-Light™Pro backlight/sensor design for consistent brightness and color
• ColorComp technology compensates for slight variations in luminance and color uniformity, providing even color across the screen
• IPS active matrix LCD provides superior screen performance, including wide viewing angles, lifelike flesh tones and dark black levels
• AmbiBright ambient light sensor and automatic backlight adjustment allow for use in any lighting conditions
• Supports internal programmable 12-bit lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration
• 4-way ergonomic stand with 150mm height-adjust, tilt, swivel and pivot

The LCD2490W2-BK-SV will feature NEC's SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution, which adds a bit more to the price of the monitor. The MultiSync LCD2490WUXi and LCD2490W2-BK-SV ship later this month with an estimated street price of $1,099 and $1,299, respectively.
