I recently posted an item on the DPReview Forums asking about 
people's experience with the subject NEC monitor.  One question delt 
with the use of the Spyder2 colorimeter to profile the monitor.  
Below is the response that I received from a person associated with 
NEC.

David Tobie (or anyone else), any comments?

While the Spyder2 is supported by the SpectraView software, it is not 
actually recommended to use this device on the LCD2690 because of 
measurement errors due to the wide color gamut of this display. The 
preferred measurement device is the X-Rite iOne Display v2.
