Wonderful on my G4 PowerMac! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : No problems with this LCD monitor at all. It's my first LCD flat panel, so I haven't got much to compare it with, but I must say, I am pleased. Excellent contrast, bright screen, works well with both my 2 year old G4 PowerMac (in OS 9 and OS X) and my 3 year old Windows 98 PC. I had no problems getting it set up or working with either system.Of course, it is a transition from a traditional CRT monitor-there is a set "native resolution" that the monitor looks best in (1280 x 1024). Of course you can use other resolutions, but they are not quite as nice. Since I was planning on setting it at 1280 x 1024, this is a non-issue for me. (All LCD monitors have a set "native resolution".) And, color calibration is ... "different" than it is with a CRT. Also, the colors get a little skewed when I look at the screen from an angle. (In this monitor's case, there is a pretty good viewing range, so I have no complaints.) I hasten to add, these are issues with all flat panels, so it comes with the territory! All-in-all, minor issues for me. I am very pleased with this monitor, and hope to get another just like it soon.
Superb monitor at a great price! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : The LCD1700V monitor has rich colors and a bright screen. It is an excellent buy...The only problem I'm now facing is that I'm running Windows with a 2 monitor setup. In comparison, my professional Viewsonic CRT monitor looks pale and I see myself often turning it off and working only with the NEC LCD monitor. I guess sooner or later I'll have to buy another LCD monitor :)
This is the MUST OWN LCD!!! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I bought my 1700v at the steal of a lifetime--an after-christmas sale @Circuit City, where my LCD was $.... I took it home, hooked it up to my brand new ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon card, and was blown away!!! The colors are crisp and sharp, It bright without being too bright, and my eyes are never strained. I also use the 1700v as a TV display and the contrast from an actual TV is amazing. I'll never buy another TV again when my computer monitor can do this!!! I HIGHLY recommend this monitor!
Some of you just dont get it... (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Another reviewer said that he could 'see' the refresh running at 60 hertz (what is recommended). HOW CAN YOU WHEN THERES NO SCAN?! Take a digital camera and view the monitor through the digital viewfinder. You wont see the scan lines running up the screen like you would on a CRT monitor. I always notice when a CRT monitor's refresh is set to anything below 85 hertz because my eyes ARE sensitive. Running an LCD at 60 hertz is not comparable because our eyes do NOT see the SCAN. THERE ISNT ONE!
Great monitor....while it lasts (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I had this monitor for about 1.5 years and loved it.
However, one day the screen went blank. I called NEC customer service and was sent out a refurbished model. That had the same identical problem! Again I called customer service and was told I would be sent a NEW monitor. I waited several days and what do I see upon arrival? A big box with "REFURBISHED" stamped all over it! Still, I plugged it in and it worked fine for about 3 hours then went to super-low resolution with "glimmering" all over the screen. I know it is not the graphics card because the monitor I borrowed from a friends works great with my computed.
I have this theory that NEC never actually "refurbishes" their monitors, but instead continually cycles returned defective monitors to purchasers...
