NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi
24" and 26" (25.5" VIS) widescreen LCD displays ideal for graphics applications
Watch productivity soar when you
go wide with NEC. The 24" NEC
MultiSync LCD2490WUXi and 26"
LCD2690WUXi deliver an entirely
new perspective to your desktop.
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. With
their multitude of leading-edge
capabilities, combined with groundbreaking design, these monitors
could easily be considered the most
intelligent visual display solutions
to date. These models are ideal
for a variety of environments and
applications,most notably financial trading floors, call centers,
graphic arts/desktop publishing and
computer-aided design, as well as
medical office information systems
and soft-copy clinical viewing,
including PACS. Not only are these
Windows VistaTM Premium-certified
monitors smart investments for you
and your company, their advanced
functionality and productivityenhancing technologies illustrate
their unique brilliance.

A design that combines the best in form and function. With the
development of the MultiSync 90 Series, NEC engineers have
taken the concept of display design to unchartered territories,
prompting a “They thought of everything” reaction from users.
Not only does the cabinet add an aesthetically pleasing presence
to your desktop, it boasts many advanced features that increase
your ease of use and daily productivity.
One of the thinnest display frames in the industry highlights the
MultiSync 90 Series’ dynamic design. Aside from providing a
wide screen area to let you focus more on your ideas, the virtually
imperceptible bezel frees up more horizontal and vertical desktop
space for multi-monitor applications. These include both standard
side-by-side and tiled configurations, which are also assisted by
the cabinet’s rear clip slots. Using the clips (available separately),
these allow for easier alignment of the displays for a more seamless overall appearance.
Achieve complete color and brightness uniformity. By nature, LCD
panels and CCFL backlights contain uniformity errors, or mura,
which are visible as slightly brighter or darker areas on the screen.
To combat this inherent trait, each MultiSync 90 Series display is
individually characterized during production using a fully automated system that measures hundreds of points across the screen
at different gray levels. These measurements are used to build a
3-D correction matrix stored inside the display. This data is used
to compensate for the uniformity not only as a function of position on the screen but of gray level as well. In turn, this technology, called ColorCompTM, reduces the uniformity to virtually unnoticeable levels and applies a digital correction to each pixel on
the screen to compensate for differences in color and luminance.
X-LightTM Pro maintains a consistent light output for the useful
life of the display as well as correcting for short term fluctuations,
thus allowing the display to be used for color-critical applications
within minutes of powering on.
Newly designed control buttons on the bottom corner of the bezel
provide you with a more intuitive means to reach your preferred
image settings. By having a key guide for each button appear
on-screen alongside it when activated, an even thinner and more
non-distracting bezel is achieved. Plus, when switching from landscape to portrait orientation or vice versa, an internal gravitational sensor automatically changes the on-screen guides accordingly.
In addition to their ability to easily switch orientations, MultiSync
90 Series displays provide other means of reaching your preferred
viewing comfort. The newly designed base allows for a height
adjustment range of an astounding 150mm, while the tilt and
swivel functions provide flexibility in meeting ergonomic standards or personal preferences. Despite its wide range of motion,
the display’s cable management feature is able to safely conceal
video cables and power cords, helping you avoid unattractive
desktop clutters.
For environments in which easy adaptability with the displays is
required, the quick release stand and recessed handle are essential. With the simple pull of a lever on the base, the display
quickly disengages from the stand, allowing you to move the
display from a desktop to a wall or arm mount. Tools and easyto-lose screws also can be avoided with the use of this quick and
simple function. The handle on the back of the display further
eases the display’s portability.
A smarter display. Only from NEC.
In order to provide the MultiSync 90 Series with its multitude
of advanced technologies, NEC engineers literally started its
development from scratch. While competing displays normally
employ “off-the-shelf” video chipsets, NEC designed an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a chip designed for specific
applications. As a result, these displays are able to deliver all of
their cutting-edge features directly to your desktop.
These two widescreen models also are available bundled with
NEC’s SpectraView
TM
Color Calibration Solution to ensure accu-
II
rate, reliable and repeatable color performance. The sophisticated
software and co-branded NEC/GretagMacbeth colorimeter help
these displays meet the demands of those in even the most colorcritical environments, including medical modalities that demand
DICOM GSDF calibration. For further information on NEC MultiSync 90 Series models featuring SpectraViewII, visit
www.necdisplay.com/spectraview.
LCD panels ideal for even the most discerning applications. The
MultiSync 90 Series utilizes the highest-quality active matrix
LCD modules used in professional flat-panel, wide-angle monitors. Each has slightly different characteristics that make them
suitable for different types of applications. The in-plane switching (IPS) type module (indicated with an “i” in 90 Series model
names) boasts the best possible color and grayscale accuracy
and minimal gamma (brightness tone) shift at off angles. These
features make IPS LCDs more suitable for demanding, color-critical applications, while dark black colors and excellent grayscale
reproductions make the IPS panel ideal for medical applications.
In addition, the MultiSync LCD2690WUXi achieves 93.4% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space.
Improve your view with high-performance color control. A 12-bit
gamma lookup table (LUT), which allows MultiSync 90 Series
monitors to display 16.7 million colors out of a palette of 68.5 billion, provides for more finely detailed, high-definition rendering of
color images and crisper display of even the most delicate shadings and color differences. GammaComp™ internal circuitry converts 8-bit data from the computer to 12-bit, producing smooth,
accurate color tones. Gamma can be set by using preset values
(including S-Curve and DICOM GSDF) or creating a custom setting
from 0.5 to 4.0 in increments of 0.1, providing an ideal setting for
video or other applications.
