Advantages: Display quality, viewing angles, price
Disadvantages: Not quite as bright as some

...For its price, an excellent quality monitor. If you are a graphics designer looking for colour calibrated monitors then go elsewhere, but as an IT Administrator I have two of these on my desk that I use for 9 hours a day. No eye strain, colour balance is good, image quality is superb. In our office we have over 30 of these and not one has developed a fault, dead pixel or any other problems. The image is consistent from one monitor to another as well (suprisingly uncommon on LCD monitors!) It could be a little brighter - I have a Dell monitor next to my NECs and its *slightly* brighter - but you only notice this because they're next to each other. All in, you won't regret spending the money. Decent resolution, decent size at a decent price.... Read review

Advantages: Great picture quality and saves a lot of space.
Disadvantages: Expensive

...This product was purchased for use in the workplace, specifically for use on a reception area where there was very little space. So obviously a monitor with a flat screen would be much more usefull than a large monitor. With its 17 inch display and excellent picture quality it has proved to be an excellent solution. It supports a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and with its low power consuption, low heat output and supposadely gives off little or no radiation definately does an excellent job. I found that the drivers for it were also very easy to install, these came free with it on a floppy disk, they were also freely available on the NEC web site. In conclusion I would definately recommend this monitor to anyone who wanted to purchase it and had the money available as the one bad point about it, is the cost!... Read review

Advantages: supports great range of colour, responsive, easy to install, cheap, 3 year warranty
Disadvantages: speakers could be better

...I was unlucky enough to win a Liyama Pro Lite E2200WS on a competition site, with a RRP of £220 and threw away my old monitor confident that my new one would be head and shoulders in terms of performance. Anoyone who has read that review will now that I thought it was poor to say the least with a wide range of expletives used to describe it. Needless to say it got wanged on Ebay and was sold thankfully for £135 much to my amazement. That left me with £135 to purchase a replacement and this came in the form of the NEC MultiSync LCD175VXM+ for £130 in a stylish silver finish. For £130 you get a 17-inch LCD monitor with digital TN+ film TFT display, slightly smaller than my Liyama but in terms of colour and resolution it beats the pants of it destroying the myth you get what you pay for. The MultiSync LCD175VXM+ has a slim design so... Read review

Advantages: Good quality, stylish looks
Disadvantages: May not be ideal for very serious gamers!

...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! Obviously, this all depends on what you are looking for from your monitor, but for a simple flat screen monitor for your PC, this is definitely adequate. I use my computer for doing work, browsing the internet and the odd (but not very serious) gaming. If you are like me, then you should consider this monitor... Read review

Advantages: Crisp, clear display and easy menu functionality
Disadvantages: Large desk footprint

...know that doesn’t sound like much but in relation to the size of the monitor it does seem rather large. I’ve seen other TFT monitors with a much smaller ‘footprint’. I’m sure NEC could make the stand base a little smaller if they tried.... Read review

Advantages: Great Image Quality
Disadvantages: Hard to use the monitor buttons

...!!!) ooh yes it's called NEC MultiSync LCD1960NXi. I know it's a bit of a mouthful! Well I got it yesterday, from comet, and I thought the price was alright at £330, but I found that similar ones to it were more cheaper. As soon as I got home with my big package, opened it up and started unplugging plugs from my very small, dusty, dull grey coloured monitor and switching them. To my flash new screen. I was anticipating for the moment of when the computer would start up. It finally showed me my user and I was amazed at it's quality. It actually made a difference. I did notice however the colour was just a bit too bright and me spending those nights with my eyes wizzing around on pages on the internet, I needed a less bright colour. Here was a problem, I found it hard to change the colour with the front control panel. In the end I found... Read review

Advantages: Built in Mic & Speakers
Disadvantages: Small, Low Resolution

...I have a NEC Multisync M500 that I acquired from a friend. In a modern world, this monitor's cons seem to overweigh the pros - it's a very bulky CRT monitor for starters, the resolution and refresh rate are not impressive and it's very small (14") however, it does feature an excellent microphone and built in stereo speakers. The monitor is a sort of beige colour, the two stereo speakers either side of the controls at the bottom of the monitor. I've noticed a handy feature on the left hand side of the monitor - a socket for an external pair of stereo headphones to be plugged in, allowing you easily plug in a pair of headphones. I imagine this would be very useful if you do not have a front panel on your computer as it is easy to add. The monitor has an OSD (on screen display) to adjust settings. It consists of 7 tabs: - Sound (volume... Read review

Advantages: Fast response time; excellent image quality; sleek design
Disadvantages: Viewing from acute angles results in a poorer image; monitor button labelling

..., and then buy a second one later to double my workspace. And last, but by no means least, manufacturers are making 15 and 17" LCDs with a significantly improved screen response time (16ms), which means that playing games is an absolute pleasure on these new models. The NEC 1760NX has both analog and DVI inputs, has a very clean, sharp design, and a thin surrounding frame (which will be useful when I buy another one to set up a dual display). It is also one of the LCDs with the fastest screen response time available. Another plus point is that the 1760NX is particularly free from glare. Most of the newer LCDs have incorporated a transparent shiny screen protector (including NEC's own 1765, the successor to the 1760). The protector allows me to work with practically no glare despite having two windows behind me in my home office - which... Read review

Advantages: Bright vibrant picture, DVI and VGA inputs
Disadvantages: Very awkward menu system, picky on cables

...I bought my NEC 1560NX second hand off a popular auction site for the knockdown sum of £50. It arrived shortly afterward in brilliant condition, alas without the stand which I shall not review. It is a second monitor, standing alongside an excellent Philips 150S. On the back of the monitor you have the standard four screw connections for a TFT stand. Easily attach the monitor to a stand you might think. But no, the thread of the screws is slightly different to standard making it difficult to find anything that will fit without cross-threading! Pleasingly the monitor has both VGA and DVI inputs, meaning you can easily hook it up to a G5 or PC that only provides DVI output. Whether you choose the VGA or DVI option, the picture quality is amazing. The colours are very bright and there is no ghosting or blurring on the pixel edges... Read review
