NEC has announced a new model of its MultiSync series [EDIT: for Scandinavia]; MultiSync LCD3090WQXi. The new model measures 30″ diagonally, and sports a resolution at 2560×1600 pixels. The monitor can show 102% of the NTSC spectrum and 97.8% of Adobe’s RGB, much thanks to the use of the high-grade H-IPS panel. The contrast ratio is set at 1000:1, response time at 6ms and brightness at 350cd/m². The monitor is said to sport viewing angles up to 178° without color distortion.
The professional comes from the internal calibration which makes it possible to calibrate brightness, white balance and gamma curves without connecting it to a computer. By connecting a EyeOne Display 2 to the USB port of the monitor, it will calibrate automatically. Color temperatures can be adjusted freely, but you also have a large variety of presets to choose from.
You can also the settings as a profile and transfer it between monitors to make sure you get the exact same settings when using multiple monitors. It also has a feature for measuring brightness and color tones for the backlighting called X-light Pro, and ColorComp for making sure you get an even lighting of the display.
The monitor is height-adjustable and has pivot supports. It has two DVI ports with HDCP support. The only bad thing is that it costs $2,200 (18 900 SEK) …
