Soon after announcing a kick-ass 43" CRV43 monitor for enterprise segment, NEC America today came out with two new LCD monitors for graphics professionals. The new displays under its MultiSync series are 24-inch high-performance desktop displays designed for graphic arts, desktop publishing, photography, medical imaging and other professional applications. The new MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² and LCD2490W2-BK-SV with NEC’s SpectraViewII Color Calibration solution provides true 16:10 aspect ratio and offers roughly the same work area as two smaller-sized displays, enabling users to view and work simultaneously in multiple application windows.

The MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² and LCD2490W2-BK-SV include the following features:

* 1900 x 1200 native resolution
* 1000:1 contrast ratio
* 320 cd/m² 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 MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² and LCD2490W2-BK-SV will be available this month for $1,099 and $1,299, respectively.
