NEC MultiSync LCD1770NX

Advantages: circular base, smooth, rounded edges with easy height and tilt and swivel adjustability
Disadvantages: The viewing angle loses contrast pretty quickly

...The 17” NEC MultiSync LCD1770NX, a flat-panel monitor featuring a thin-frame design, enhances your visual experience with superior screen performance, advanced technologies and comforting design elements. This model's Ambix dual-input technology ensures compatibility with today's and tomorrow's computer systems, while an integrated USB 2.0 hub connects you to all of your peripherals. The LCD1770NX model has a circular base, smooth, rounded edges with easy height and tilt and swivel adjustability. This display does not pivot. The viewing angle loses contrast pretty quickly when moving left to right in front of the screen, but I found text to be very legible, even at small point sizes. Straight out of the box, and without adjustment, the LCD1770NX display had a distinct blue cast, most noticeable in gray areas of an image...

Review of NEC MultiSync LCD1770NX

Make the change to TFT with the NEC Multisync

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

...When the time came to replace my old 19" CRT, I was torn between getting another CRT, or finally making the move to an LCD screen. I was used to running my CRT at 1280x1024 resolution, but wanted the potential for more. I play a lot of the latest games, so having a screen with a fast response time was important (and we all know most LCDs have much too slow refresh rates to play games well). So I began the long process of comparing loads of 21" CRTs to 19" LCDs. I then found out that my 19" CRT was equivalent to a 17" LCD in terms of visible screen size. And that has advantages, in that the resolution of a 17" LCD is almost always the same '1280x1024' as the 19" LCDs, but in a smaller area, which means that the images are sharper and less blocky. 17" LCDs are now also relatively cheap, which meant that I could buy one right now...

NEC Monitor MultiSync LCD1560NX

Advantages: Excellent color quality
Disadvantages: Rare model, incase it requires fixing

...The company is an old and huge company, and their monitors give a very satisfactory performance generally, but since they have launched NEC Multisync 1560NX, it totally changes your opinion about this company ! this monitor gives an EXCELLENT color quality, you will be amazed by the details that it will brought up, not just that its design is also great however small size of this monitor is the only downside and its not cheap either according to its size but when you will go a bit further into specs you'll know that your getting the right monitor for the right credit, their are very low chances of it getting into bad shape if you'll treat it right however one cannot ignore the chances, and if you will require it to fix the monitor then your going to face problems number one its LCD, number two its NEC...

NEC MultiSync LCD1770NX

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....

Jump to LCD with NEC

Advantages: Bright & clear display. Fast update times. Great for photo editing and games!
Disadvantages: Expensive. Fiddly 'stick' control on front panel.

...an enormously wide angle. The second thing I learnt is that there are four main types of LCD panel: - TN + Film - IPS (superceded by Super IPS, or S-IPS) - MVA - PVA I shan't go into the details - suffice to say that if you wish to read more about them, then a quick Google for "Types of LCD panel" will return most of the information you could require. To cut a long story short though, S-IPS is the preferred type of display for photo editing because of it's wide viewing angle. Before I finally get onto the device itself, it's worth mentioning the last piece of advice that I found, which settled me upon this monitor. Apparently, the best monitors are Eizo. If you can't afford that, go for NEC, Lacie or Apple. (http://www.anands.net/faq/lcd.html) I wanted to spend enough, but not a small fortune, so the fact that the NEC was an S...

Review of NEC MultiSync 20WGX2Pro

Best Screen Thing

Advantages: Resolution, Auto-Setup, Response Time, Price
Disadvantages: Doesn't generate as much heat so study is colder!

...envious of. Of working for several hours without getting rosy cheeks from the rays emitted by my screen. Of not breaking my back when trying to adjust it's 35Kg weight to a slightly more comfortable viewing angle. I had to get and LCD. And obviously I did - an NEC MultiSync 2070VX to be precise. Bearing in mind the screen I'd been using for the last 5 years had been 21" at a resolution of 1600x1200 the bar was pretty much set - anything less would be a significant backward step. With a single-minded purpose, I set about scouring the interweb for an LCD screen that would provide 1600x1200 resolution at a decent screen size. There is a reasonable range of choices here, with prices starting at about £300 and proceeding to upwards of £600. Starting as close to the £300 end as possible I came across the NEC 2070vx for only £320. It...

Review of NEC MultiSync LCD2070VX

A great monitor for a reasonable price

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 it...

21 - Counting cards pays off.

Advantages: An interesting story, more so because it is based upon fact.
Disadvantages: A bit predictable towards the end.

...21 I don't know what it say about me, but I like films were people beat the system, for example Ocean's 11, Inside Man etc and so I was looking forward to this film for a while. Even more so because the film is based upon fact. 21 is based on the book 'Bringing Down The House' by Ben Mezrich. What's it all about? The film is centres on the character of Ben Campbell played by Jim Sturgess. He is a student at MIT in Boston, who desperately wants to get into Harvard Medical School to become a doctor. The film opens with him being interviewed for a scholarship there, as paying is out of the question. The interview doesn't appear to be going so well, but then the story turns to Ben in maths class and here his natural ability shines. So much so, that he draws the attention of his lecturer played by Kevin Spacey. He is...

Review of 21 (DVD)

Will your NEC't monitor be this one?

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...

Review of NEC MultiSync LCD1560NX

So much more space

Advantages: Less space, easy on the eye
Disadvantages: price

...to LCD. What is in front of me.. I have a "NEC MultiSync LCD1970NXp" that I am looking at, it has a flat screen, and the surrounding frame appears to be a brushed alloy that encompasses the screen. When switched off the screen is black and only bursts into life upon switching on. Talking of switches, below the centre of the screen are the control buttons. Looking from the right to the left you have.. The power button (when on this has a small green LED (light emitting diode), and when off with the power connected has an orange one.). The Reset button (this selects between DV modes 1,2,3 and off for those that understand such things). Select ½, this selects between inputs, basically you can have choose between two inputs say computer one and two and toggle the display depending on what you want. Then my favourite...
