NEC debuts two high-end 24-inch LCD displays with IPS panel

NEC has introduced the MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² and LCD2490W2-BK-SV, these two 24" LCD displays feature a IPS active matrix panel. Both monitors have a 1900 x 1200 pixel resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 320 nits brightness, 96.7 percent coverage of sRGB, and sensors to automatically adjust the backlight.

The NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi² will be available for $1,099 while the LCD2490W2-BK-SV with NEC's SpectraView Color Calibration Solution will cost $1,299.

These two high-performance desktop displays are ideal for graphic arts, desktop publishing, photography, medical imaging and other professional applications.

Joining the award-winning MultiSync 90 Series and SpectraViewII Series respectively, the LCD2490WUXi² and LCD2490W2-BK-SV displays offer a multitude of innovative technologies, leading-edge capabilities and ergonomic design functions.
