I am due to replace my ageing (4.5 yrs) NEC Spectraview 2180. I have
narrowed my choice to an Eizo Coloredge CG242W, Spectraview 2690, or
Samsung XL24 - I have limited info users experience on this model.
I note that several experienced NEC 2690, and 3090 owners, are
recommending luminance values at a minimum of 140 cd/m2. Eizo are
still steering users towards using lower values at a sweet spot of
'around' 80 cd/m2.
For several years I have driven my Spectra at 90 cd/m2 in cave
conditions, gradually towards 120 cd/m2 in the last year, as a result
of raising the ambient light slightly for a better working
environment. I still prefer viewing images at 90 cd/m2. Soft proofing
at 90cd/m2 for repro, in cave conditions, hasn't caused me any major
repro scares.
On the 2690 Is it true that at 140 cd/m2, and lower, the luminance is
no longer adjusted via its hardware but artificially through the image
control resulting in part of the contrast being lost? Is this one of
the reasons why folk are recommending 140 cd/m2 and above?
120 cd/m2 is as bright as I would want to go, is anyone running the
2690 below at or below 120 cd/m2 with good results?
