  • English news/reviews stopped?

    Hi!
    I had noticed the news stopped to be translated to English. That's not a bug deal, but the reviews in English have been very handy, so I'd like to see this feature back. At least in a condensed form (mainly screen quality, no need to describe the stand or frame, we can see this on photos :) ).
    Thanks

    Sorry, I don't understand German much. So i1 Display2 > Spyder 3, or i1 Display2 = Spyder 3?
    Danke :)

    Thanks. Well, one red sub-pixel is not really a big deal, it is only noticable on a black screen and when I know where to look. It was quite a luck to buy NOW a WUXi which is SV mode capable (I have some connections actually).


    When the screens arrive to Europe, the best are put into SV, the rest into 2690WUXi, so it may be difficult to to get WUXi without dead pixels/subpixels.


    What makes me angry is that US customers have far better service, they can calibrate their monitors' LUT at will etc., NEC is willing to repair/exchange their monitor more often then in EU.

    I'll take your recommendations regarding the probe into consideration, thanks.

    I finally today bought my NEC 2690WUXi. I chose rather old model (januray 2007, one red dead subpixel visible, noisy, someminor color problems), but one capable of hardware LUT calibration instead of march 2008 euro model (assebled in EU, SEVEN blue subpixels, quiet, I tested it and is seems it can not be calibrated with the US SVII software, nor EU one). YES, THAT'S HOW NEC DISCRIMINATE EU CUSTOMERS, GOD PUNISH THEM AND EXILEM THEM ON SMALL ISLANDS WITH LITTLE OR NO NATURAL RESOURCES!


    Anyway, I have NEC calibration soft, therefore I'm just interested whatever kit should I buy. I can choose between:


    Spyder 3, which is cheaper and


    Gretag LT, which the NEC guy recommended


    Which one do you think is better?

    As the colors in non color managed applications are wrong anyhow... why don't you just reduce saturation?


    With SV mode enabled sRGB looks quite OK. Never the less, it is not possible to reduce saturation, only enhance it (either in monitor or in GFX card controls).

  • NEC 2690WUXi (Prad.de User)


    So what did you to get rid of over-saturated colours in non-colour manager applications? (games, movies, desktop)

  • NEC 2690WUXi (Prad.de User)


    Thanks.


    IFAIK SV mode + sRGB instantly offered normal non-saturated colours, which is pretty good.


    Now the only remaining thing is to find someone, who actually made LUT hardware calibration on newer revisions of euro 2690 with SVII :)


    Btw, which calibration probe would you recommend? Is Spyder 3 OK? Or is it an excessive luxury?


    It seems neraly every 2690 has a problem. Should I aim for a perfect screen?

    I know Germans usually do speak English pretty well (and are willing to use it, as this site proves :) ).
    Thank you for the answer.
    Right now I have to choose to either buy older revision of 2690 (2F, january 2007? - 711...) with SV mode enabled and one bad sub-pixel (and slightly more reddish white in the upper 1/7 of the screen), or go for a new revision without SV and possibly no dead pixels. If the new revision could not be LUT calibrated with the US SVII soft, that would be a real trouble. 1000 euro monitor with un-natural colours...


    If I may pose one more question: Looking at 2690 from right to left, black seems violet. From left to right there it no such problem. Is it normal? Some people suggested they have violet black looking from both directions, some none :-/

    Hi!


    Do the newer versions of 2690 still suffer from buzz/hum/noises from the monitor? I heard it was corrected.


    (I'm sorry I don't speak German, but I can translate the topic with Google.
    Anyway, I'm sure some of you do speak English. Feel free to answer in German. Danke)

  • Belinea 2485 vs HP LP2465 vs HP w2408h

    I need a new monitor for gaming AND some office and GFX work (Photoshop), I know a difficult combination. What of Belinea 2485 vs HP LP2465 vs HP w2408h would you recommend?
    LP2465 isn't in stocks right now, w2408h has a reflective surface and I'm not sure it would not cause a trouble.
    Feel free to recommend a different monitor, but I'd like to not to go past the price of LP2465.
    Thanks
