Color calibration solution (24" NEC MultiSync® LCD2490W2-BK-SV, 26” LCD2690W2-BK-SV
and 30” LCD3090W-BK-SV) ideal for color-critical applications
Unparalleled display performance for colorcritical applications. Featuring standard and
ultra-wide color gamuts, the 24” NEC MultiSync
LCD2490WUXi2, 26” LCD2690WUXI2 and
30” LCD3090WQXi deliver an entirely new
perspective to your desktop and allow you to
view photographs and graphics in optimum color.
These displays include the SpectraViewII Color
Calibration Solution, which combines awardwinning NEC LCD monitor technology with a color
measurement sensor and sophisticated software.
The result is a highly accurate, reliable, repeatable
and feature-rich display calibration and profiling
solution.
LCD Series
II
Color and brightness uniformity were paramount
in the design of these high-performance displays,
making them ideal for graphic arts, desktop
publishing, photography and other color-critical
environments. In addition, with their wide-format
design (16:10 aspect ratio), which provides roughly
the same work area as two smaller-sized displays,
you can simultaneously view/work in multiple
application windows.
• Standard and wide color gamut models (up to 97.5% coverage of AdobeRGB)
• Custom-calibrated colorimeter matched for NEC’s wide color gamut displays as well as standard gamut displays
• 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 esh tones and dark black levels
• Supports internal programmable 12-bit lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration
• High resolution allows for more content to be displayed on a single monitor
• Designed for landscape or portrait usage without degradation of performance or the display’s lifecycle
• Digital and analog inputs with true MultiSync support for non-native resolutions

SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution Features and Benefits
Quick and easy measurements. The SpectraViewII system,
available for Mac OS, Windows and Linux*, uses an ultra-sensitive,
custom-calibrated NEC/X-rite iOne Display 2 colorimeter to take
color measurements of the display screen during calibration. The
software analyzes these measurements and sends color adjustment
commands directly to the display monitor. This means that color
adjustments are made in the monitor rather than in the video
graphics adapter, resulting in full use of the number of colors
available on the graphics adapter and a much brighter image
with the maximum possible color gamut. With SpectraViewII, the
video graphics adapter is not used at all to make any gamma or
tone response curve corrections to the display, so the full color
resolution and fidelity of the system is maintained.
12-bit Internal Look Up Tables (LUTs) - Each LCD monitor
supported by SpectraViewII features three internal 12-bit LUTs.
These tables allow precise adjustments to be made to the
display’s tone response curve with minimal reduction to the
number of displayable colors. Since the tone response curve
correction is stored within the display and not on the host
system’s video graphics card LUT, the display can be calibrated
on one machine and then used on another and still maintain
calibration as long as a digital video signal is used.
Calibration status validation - SpectraViewII will query each
calibrated monitor to see if any controls have changed since the
last calibration. If anything has changed, the previous calibrated
state can be restored automatically.
Application flexibility - SpectraViewII provides many features
and options that make it exible enough to be used in a large
variety of applications, including full DICOM support for medical
imaging. The display luminance can be adjusted to either a
specic user-dened value or set to the maximum the display
can achieve. In addition, custom target response curves can be
created in addition to presets such as L* and SMPTE.
Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) SpectraViewII communicates with the monitor using DDC/CI,
which is a two-way communications link between the video
graphics adapter and display monitor using the standard video
signal cable. No extra cables are necessary. All adjustments
to the monitor settings are done automatically using this
communications link.
Multiple calibration sets - Different monitor calibrations can
be easily loaded, allowing quick and easy switching between
different calibration settings without the need to re-calibrate
the display. Each time a calibration set is loaded, the necessary
monitor settings and ICC/ColorSync profiles are automatically
updated.
Calibrated display information - At the end of each monitor
calibration, an information window is displayed, which shows the
results of the calibration and includes a wealth of information
about the display such as the measured color gamut, grayscale
color tracking, Delta-E and luminance values. Additional
information about the display monitor such as the model name,
serial number and the total number of hours that it has been in
use are also displayed.
* Limited Linux support for large installations
Network support (Windows only) - SpectraViewII integrates with
the NEC NaViSet™ Administrator network software (available
separately from your NEC representative) to provide remote
network access and monitoring of display monitors. NaViSet™
Administrator is able to read, display and log the current
calibration settings and status of displays on an existing network
(LAN). This feature is particularly useful for large installations
where central monitoring and asset management is needed.
Monitor locking - Once calibrated, the On Screen Display (OSD®)
controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent
accidental or unauthorized adjustment, which may invalidate the
calibrated state of the monitor.
Monitor profiling - After calibration, the display is automatically
profiled and highly accurate ICC/ColorSync color profiles
are generated and automatically registered with the color
management system. These profiles use the Bradford
Chromaticity Adaptation matrix.
Colorimeter function - The software features a colorimeter function,
which allows direct measurements to be taken by the color sensor
and the results displayed in a variety of different formats.
