NEC has announces the new 26-inch MultiSync LCD2690WUXi2, a desktop display ideal for graphic arts, desktop publishing, photography and other color-critical environments. 

Derived from the award-winning LCD2690WUXi, the new display has a new, wider color gamut panel, delivering expanded blue coverage and improved brightness uniformity.

"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."
