Office Work

For office work the 2490 offers a standard resolution screen (1920x1200).
Although 24" 0.27mm dot pitch is legible, it's always recommended (for any monitor) that dpi setting is increased to 120% for better fonts accuracy.
The 2490 has three levels of brightness regulation.
Measured brightness varies from 260 to 30 cd/m2.
Zero mark for the first level now equals to comfortable 110cd/m2 with max CR maintained.
The panel has matte coating that effectively prevents reflection. As mentioned, the coating unlike IPS panels of the past, has minimal "cristalline effect".
The hood protects from bright light.
Auto Brightness feature is available.
The panel position can be adjusted in all known ways.
Attached soundbar saves working space.
Being a standard gamut monitor, the 2490 is free of WG issues that can affect text readability.
Plain H-IPS pixel structure is good for text.
Compare to PVA pixel structure. PVA pixels are not evenly lit that makes text look slightly fuzzy.
