Well, after much research, debating, nail biting and stressing I decided on a display. Ordered the NEC LCD2490WUXI-Bk. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but as picky as i am about quality I'm hoping all the great things I've read about this display make it easy to justify.

For those who don't know, I went through 5 or 6 HP LP2475w displays that had color uniformity issues. Finally recieved a full refund for my purchase through HP, and had a good chunk of the NEC's cost taken right off from it. Almost like I saved for 6 months or so for the NEC :lol: Kudos to HP though for the great customer support they have. All the replacement displays were shipped to me overnight, and the fact that they refunded me for a purchase made 5 or 6 months ago speaks volumes of how they do business.

Now on to the NEC display. I have a Spyder3Elite that I already own from when I purchased the HP, and I recently picked up the NEC SpectraViewII software in preparation of picking up an NEC display. I'm correct in thinking that the Spyder3 is compatible with the 2490/SpectraView software? I'm also assuming that I would be much better off using the NEC software to calibrate as opposed to the Spyder software right?

I'm super excited to check this monitor out! Hopefully I'm 100% satisfied and calibration is a breeze...hopefully :p After all the bad luck I've had with those HP units, I'm kind of sick of dealing with monitors haha.

SpectraView's website doesn't have a hardware compatibility chart or list?

Whoops! I was looking on the NEC store site, and they only listed monitors compatible with the SVII software, not colorimeters. Googled SpectraView which brought me to a SV product page, and indeed it lists Datacolor Spyder3 as compatible. Very good.

I was just reading some posts on another forum (external link) and the SpectraView II software was highly recommended.
