NEC Display Solutions Announces 26-Inch Desktop Display with SWOP Certification

Tuesday 06. January 2009 - NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, today announced the new 26-inch MultiSync LCD2690WUXi², a desktop display ideal for graphic arts, desktop publishing, photography and other color-critical environments.

The LCD2690WUXi² can be seen at Macworld Conference and Expo 2009 (NEC Display Solutions Booth, No. 2510) on January 6-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif.
Derived from the award-winning LCD2690WUXi, the new display has a new, wider color gamut panel, delivering expanded blue coverage and improved brightness uniformity. The high-performing MultiSync LCD2690WUXi² aids with productivity, as its wide-format design (16:10 aspect ratio) provides roughly the same work area as two smaller-sized displays, enabling users to work simultaneously in multiple application windows.
“The MultiSync LCD2690WUXi² follows in the footsteps of its companions in the highly successful MultiSync 90 Series,” said Stan Swiderski, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “With its multitude of leading-edge capabilities, groundbreaking design and vast number of innovative technologies, the LCD2690WUXi² allows high-end graphics users to achieve the ultimate in color performance.”
The MultiSync LCD2690WUXi² is certified with Specifications for Web Offset Publications (SWOP) software, assuring users achieve accurate soft-proof images. The display passed with the “GRACoL Grade 1” test, one of the highest level examinations available for SWOP certification.
The LCD2690WUXi² contains the following features:
Wide color gamut (97.8 percent coverage of AdobeRGB)
Compatibility with the NEC SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution
Auto luminance control with X-Light Pro backlight/sensor design for consistent brightness and color
ColorComp technology, which compensates for slight variations in luminance and color uniformity, providing even color across the screen
IPS active matrix LCD, which provides superior screen performance, including wide viewing angles, life-like flesh tones and dark black levels
Support for internal programmable 12-bit lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration
Ambient light sensor and automatic backlight adjustment, which allow for use in any lighting conditions
1900 x 1200 native resolution
1000:1 contrast ratio
320 cd/m² brightness
