NEC MultiSync LCD1550V

I got this monitor as a present for my 14th birthday and it has lasted me very well over the course of the last 4 years. It has been perfect for my needs and requirements and I have been very pleased with it and hopefully it has a few more years left in it! The main reason my parents got me a flat screen was because my desk is very small and a normal sized monitor would have been far too large. If you have similar problem spaces and are looking for a small flat screen monitor then the NEC MultiSync LCD1550V would be ideal for you!

The frame and stand feel sturdy and the angle of the monitor is easily adjustable. What’s more it ... more

NEC make lots of brilliant products and monitors are a particular item they are great at producing! Reliability: Having used this monitor for years, it has never dis-coloured or had any pixels ever die on me! It is build very well! Features: The monitor features a 15" screen, which is more than big enough for people of average vision to look at! Its contrast ratio of 450:1 is rather low, however I don't see a massive difference compared with screen with 10000:1 ratio and you can only marginally see greys in the darker sections of movies! It provides plenty of brightness, so you won't be ... more
