gerard_bynre Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi, after months of following threads about quality monitors, I am about to spring for the NEC Spectraview 26 inch model. However I have just noticed that NEC have just released a new 30 inch model which seems to have superior specs with regard to wide gamut reproduction etc. I'm not particularly interested in the extra size of the newer monitor as 26 inches seems enough for me, but does anybody know if the larger newer model is significantly better in terms of color reproduction etc. I will use the monitor for photo color correction and light video production work. Thanks, Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_fouche Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The resolution on the 30-inch is higher - meaning less apparent pixelation and more of the photo visible at one time. Beyond that, I too am interested in this monitor and look forward to reading other comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_hall8 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi, For those owning an adobe gamut NEC display (2690 or similar) are you able to do web work in the sRGB mode? My NEC 3090 is arriving tomorrow (finally!) and I will mainly be using it for it's intended purpose of post-processing in the full Adobe RGB gamut. However, when posting to the web or doing web work (IE, Firefox v2, etc.) I want to know that I can view the colors as everyone else will, sRGB. 1- How easy is it to go back and forth between sRGB and Adobe RGB modes? 2- How does the sRGB mode compare to other monitors (Apple Cinema, Dell , etc) 3- Any other tips? ------ On a related note, I would love to hear any advice from owners on calibration, 2.2 vs. 1.8, etc. Thanks!

digitaldog Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I have now, both the 26" and the newer 30" The web is NO issue for me, but I'm using a color managed browser (Safari). Can you view the images as everyone else? Yes and no. IF you embed the sRGB profile in an sRGB document AND they calibrate and profile their displays AND they also use Safari or FireFox (and you don't do any of the above in Flash which isn't color managed), then yes. Otherwise, nope. Calibrate to TRC gamma 2.2 in the software. Oh, when you get the unit, go into the OSD and turn on ColorComp which is off by default (its called Uniformity on the 3090 under the Tools icon).

gerard_bynre Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Andrew, Kevin - Any sense of how the 30" compares to the older 26" monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
