After looking at the lagom pixel order test, the ZR24w appeared to be RGB (red on left, green middle, blue on right) if that helps

That's exactly why I pulled the trigger early. There's basically nothing else in this category other than the NEC 2490wuxi (original), which I would love, but it's hardly available anywhere and is over $1000. I have an eye-one display 2 colorimeter that I'm going to use on this ZR24w -...

Ha! just got it here at work, and couldn't resist setting it up real quick for an initial look-over (going to be using it at home ultimately). My first reactions are VERY positive. I can't check backlight bleed well because i can't turn the lights off here (cube-ville), but I booted up...

I ordered one from cost central last week and tried to go into "track order" on their website, and it couldn't find it. However, i went into "my account" --> "recent orders" and was able to navigate to tracking info from there - it's apparently arriving tomorrow :)

Thanks, but again, all they say is that there IS a fourth, yellow pixel, rather than any details about how they actually calculate or receive 4-channel inputs, or exactly how yellow is superior to red+green

also, when someone actually receives this monitor, we should start a new thread for reviews on this monitor, because we have 16 pages of near-nothing at this point in this thread.

800:1, if accurate, is not that low - you're just used to inflated marketing numbers. granted, 1000:1 is better, but 800 isn't bad. The NEC 2490wuxi (known as one of the best IPS monitors) realistically has 700-750:1 contrast ratio.

I just ordered one from Cost Central - $409 was just too good to pass up, especially if it's going to be $500+ in the future, and there's no other sRGB, IPS, 1920x1200 monitor in existence other than the 2490wuxi, which is over twice as expensive. When I get it I'll take some pictures/do a...

I didn't see anything really about the quad-pixel technology in that thread, people were more interested in the panel type. Anyone know how the TV generates a "yellow" level? (0-255 i'm assuming) Does it interpolate from the RGB, or is there a 4th input channel, or...?

Hey, so I saw an ad on TV about Sharp adding a fourth (Yellow) sub-pixel to their TVs, and I'm just really skeptical about it and curious if anyone knows how it's supposed to work. I realize that in theory a 4th Primary can increase the gamut because you now have a square-shaped area to work...

I agree, hurry up HP - I'm definitely very interested in the 24". No idea why it took so long to come out with an LCD with: 1920x1200 IPS standard gamut. that isn't $1100

Out of curiosity, what retailer was this? I'd love to see the 2490 in person, as I have been considering it for awhile but am hesitant to spend so much money before seeing it, and it doesn't seem to be in ANY brick and mortar stores.

So are these standard or wide gamut, or both? I wasn't able to tell from the .pdf However, i'm really excited to see these come out, especially the PA241W - and what the pricing of it and the 2490 are going to be. I've been having a hard time picking out an ideal high-end monitor, maybe...

pretty sure the NEC 2090uxi is a 0.255mm.

The bundle is 2490Wuxi-SV. I've seen it for sale on newegg, amazon, and the NEC site for about $200 more. It includes the software and a colorimeter

Finally got into the advanced menu, don't know why it took so long. Anyway, i tried ramping color-comp to 5, and the grey hue issue is still there really clearly in photoshop (see image in previous post). Is this kind of screen non-uniformity the kind of issue that would be fixed by running...

So after using this monitor for 3 days, I have two issues. The first is accessing the advanced OSM menu. I've tried every combination of button pressing while booting up the monitor, with the computer on and off, and i can't seem to get in. The user manual says hold the input button, press...

Thanks everyone, looks like we have some differing opinions. Well, as of right now, i'm leaning towards keeping it, (I'd hate to go through the hassle to return it and get a new one that's even worse; plus, i got it refurbished, i would probably try returning if i had spent the full $800...

Ok, so i took a few pictures, and was finally able to hook up DVI so i could power on my second, 6-year-old LCD (Viewsonic VA720) as a secondary monitor. *I haven't run any calibration yet* first, dark room, all black image, from the front (all pictures are of the 2090uxi unless otherwise...

So I went ahead and got a 2090uxi from techforless for 310 + shipping. Considering it's 799 retail without shipping i'm pretty pleased. I decided to get it so i had a first-hand impression of the quality of the panel before deciding whether or not to blow the load on a 2490wuxi. It arrived...

Hmm... thanks for the link, too bad i already did the math. oh well, High School Geometry was correct at least (in the end). Anyone seen 2490wuxi originals Refurbs for sale anywhere? I've seen one from a search on google, but it's still $800, with $95 shipping.... not really a great deal.

LOL! Always make those careless errors in math - and I knew it was 16:10, dont know why i was using 16:9.... oh well, new math: (10x)^2 + (16x)^2 = (24.1)^2 100x^2 + 256x^2 = 580.81 356x^2 = 580.81 x^2 = 1.6315 x = 1.2773 1.2773 x 10 = 12.77" 12.77 - 12.06 = 0.71" = exactly what I got...

Thanks for the replies everyone -- it's really disappointing to see such horrible selection in the high-quality LCD market; it's totally dominated by TN's. Anyway, i'm pretty much leaning towards ordering one of those refurb 2090uxi from Techforless.com for $313 + ~30 shipping (The price is...

Man, decisions, decisions :confused: So it sounds like the 2490 is unrivaled. Are there any VA panel monitors with 1920x1200 and standard gamut? Also, to make things even harder, there are refurbished NEC 2090uxi for $320 at techforless. Thinking it might be worth it to put down 320...

Hi everyone, i've been reading these forums for awhile now and just recently joined. I'm looking to build a brand new computer at the end of October for 3D Graphics / Adobe CS4 suite, gaming, and blu-ray playback, pretty much in that order, and i'm looking for a high-quality monitor, as...
