My old CRT was beginning to give some problems so went looking for a replacement.
The NEC LCD2690WUXi^2 is a 25.5 inch wide gamut monitor.
If you want to get hold of one you will need to get in touch with Enkay Technologies the authorised distributors for NEC in India. This monitor will have to be special ordered. Full marks to Sushant of Enkay, Mumbai for excellent service 🙂

For calibration you will have to get hold of the Spectraview II software licence, which is available in the US only ( see second from the bottom) . For downloading the Spectraview software itself, click here. I had to ask someone in the US to get hold of it for me. The reason why this software is recommended is, that you are now able to calibrate the LUT of the monitor directly. The earlier method was that the, LUT of the video card was calibrated.
The best hardware for the colorimeter is the Gretag Eye One display 2. But, you can do with a Colorvision Spyder as well.
I have calibrated my monitor for 110cd/m^2 .

Looks very very nice and ….I am a happy boy !
If you don’t mind can you let me know how much you paid for this monitor? I’m planning to upgrade my PC soon and the plan is to get an LCD monitor as well and this was one I was considering if it didn’t cost too much. Should be less than a lakh of rupees, correct?
