NEC and LaCie Lead On Professional LCD Gear

They Can't Be Faulted

Using the calibrator, both products demonstrate similar, above average performance.

The 6500K curve speaks for itself but, if that temperature setting doesn't suit you, you can always change it via the OSD. And these results are also satisfactory. Note that you can store several customized presets, which is very useful for designers who work on different platforms.

Here, at last, we have a professional product. Brightness isn't dazzling, but the black level is excellent.

Needless to say, contrast exhibits exemplary stability.

Spatial Uniformity

Uniformity is mostly just okay. Despite being an inch larger than the Dell 2001FP, the spatial uniformity is reasonable with, on the whole, most of the brightness values within 20% of the total range. Again, it's not as good as most of the 19" models, but the extra surface area doesn't help with uniformity issues.
