jay_bees Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 What is the consensus amongst those here on the Eizo CG series LCD monitors vs the NEC monitors such as the LCD2690WUXi-BK-SV? Should I be looking at others? I am most interested in color accuracy, large gamut (as much of the Adobe RGB 1998 gamut as can be displayed). Price vs. performance is obviously also a concern. Any of you folks have any experience to share? What about the Eizo CE series? These appear to be much more conventional than the CG series.

frans_waterlander Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 "Take a look at the Lacie 526 at www.Lacie.com" Yes, LaCie did it again! They buy the LCD2690WUXi-BK-SV from NEC, claim slightly higher gamut numbers (how they justify that heavens only knows) add a hood, drop the warranty from 4 years to 3 years, rename it the LaCie 526 and charge $420 more than NEC.

amadou_diallo Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have an Eizo CG21 and an NEC 1980SXi (the current models have UXi in the product name). The NEC is a great value. With the NEC Spectraview calibration software and a supported colorimeter or spectrophotometer you get maybe 85-90% of the performance of the Eizo at a much lower price.<br> Amadou Diallo<br> Author, <a href="http://www.masteringdigitalbwbook.com">Mastering Digital Black and White</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_bees Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks for the responses. The Samsung 24-inch with LED backlight looks like it will be what I'm looking for as I like 24-in displays. I wonder what the cost will be and when it will ship? http://www.photographyblog.com/index.php/weblog/comments/samsung_24_inch_led_backlit_monitor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frans_waterlander Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The price of the Samsung XL20 20" LED backlit unit at one time was indicated to cost about US$2000 and it may have started shipping. Googgle Samsung XL20 and you'll learn more. This monitor is not on my short list because it is not IPS technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_bees Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 I picked up a NEC LCD2690WUXi-BK-SV and have found it to be a outstanding monitor. I calibrated to D65, 2.2, 120cd/m? using the Spectraview II software and re-badged GMB Eye One hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
