NEC SpectraView 2180WG-LED: first lumiLED LCD…and worth every penny
The NEC SpectraView 2180WG-LED sure looks like one of those old microfiche readers from the downtown public library but it's cutting edge man, we mean bleeding. It's the first LCD in what should be a trend to feature LumiLEDs and the promise of richer colors from a wider palette. Tom's Hardware takes us through a full verbal dissection and then throws down the praise in heaps citing the 2180WG-LED's "overwhelming superiority" in terms of color rendering and uniformity of brightness. Sure this 1600 x 1200 (native resolution) monitor isn't the first (or even 100th) choice for gamers. It is, however, ideal for photo retouching and other color-demanding tasks on static images. You'll have to dig deep though for the $6,600 required to bring it home. Pics without the hood after the break.
