Rating: - Awesome LCD Monitor!
Was a bit concerned about ordering an LCD monitor sight unseen but all those fears were put aside once I unpacked it, made the connections and turned it on for the first time! My first impression? "WOW!" I'm primarily a laptop user and my most recent is a Compaq Presario 3045US that I purchased for 2 reasons: first, the price was right for the computing power (less than $1000) and secondly, the 16" screen was awesome for watching DVDs, playing games and basically replacing my desktop at work. Why do I mention this? Simply because I purchased a new game recently ("City of Heroes") and it isn't capable of running on my laptop. I knew the day would come when I'd find a game that didn't run on the integrated graphics chip but I didn't think that day would come so soon, and so my hand was forced...I'd need to build a desktop capable of playing the new game and with that, I'd need a new monitor. Was a bit skeptical of going with an LCD for a graphics intensive game because, having owned many laptops, I know that pixels tend to blur during action sequences. Went around to many stores comparing monitors before realizing that under their flourescent lights, all the LCD monitors looked just about the same. So I spent many hours a day, for about a week, reading reviews online and comparing numbers before deciding on the NEC 1760V and I'm glad I did! Refresh rates are quick with minimal blurring, the colors are vibrant and pictures look sharp in the native resolution. OSD buttons are difficult to make out but once the settings are set, there's really no need to go back to them. Other's complain about NEC's pop-up display warning about running games in non-native resolution but I hit "exit" button once (on the display) and the warning disappears without coming back. Biggest fear was dead pixels BUT I figured there's no difference between ordering online or picking the monitor up in a store. If you're going to get a dead pixel, you'll get a dead pixel regardless of mail order or in store pick up...though my monitor was 100% beautiful with NO dead pixels on arrival! And compared to the 16" screen on my laptop? This NEC simply blows it away!! My only complaint is the brightness level of this LCD monitor...it really *is* bright. Turned it down to about 30% and upped the contrast a bit though and all is good. While not the highest contrast ratio of the pack, this monitors has blacks that appear black and vibrant colors that appear true to life! Overall, an extremely worthwhile purchase!!
Rating: - Excellent monitor
I've owned this monitor for about 3 months and I am very pleased with its performance. I use it primarily for web and office work and I find its display to be far superior to all other LCDs I have used (mostly made by DELL). Text is extraordinarily clear, colors are bright and accurate, and the response is fast enough that scrolling text, etc. causes only barely noticeable blur. I have tried the monitor with a few 3D games and have never found a game that moved fast enough to make its response even slightly unacceptable. And on top of its performance, it looks really nice and appears to be built very well. This monitor leaves me with no desire to ever look at a CRT again.
My only complaint would be that it is difficult to get the monitor to display a true black, so in watching DVD movies the borders tend to glow. This, however, is still a problem with all but the best modern panels and you will surely pay a steep price premium for any of those. Other reviewers have complained about the poorly-labeled buttons; it's true that they are hard to read but after getting the monitor set up initially, I have never needed to make any adjustments. This should be considered only a very minor issue.
If you are looking for a 17" LCD and price is any concern at all, get this monitor and you will not regret it. Actually, even for a higher price I can't think of many features/etc that could make another monitor much more desirable.
Rating: - Great monitor for a great price
The NEC 1760V is an amazing monitor. No noticeable ghosting whatsoever (and I do a lot of fast paced gaming like UT2k3). The colour and response time is comparable to more expensive monitors out there. The only thing is that it doesn't have a DVI in, but when I put it side-by-side with my Viewsonic VP171-b which uses a DVI input, the difference was not noticeable at all. Overall, I'd say this is the best monitor you can buy for the price.
Rating: - Very Poor Color
At work, we just bought a load of these. Myself, and my co-worker, both Web designers, are working with these. But, I am lucky as I have a Mac 20inch flat screen as my primary workstation. My buddy just has the NEC monitor. Anyways, side by side comparison really shows how poor these monitors are. If you are doing graphic work, stay far away from these monitors - you will not see the finer details in slight color differences and gradients, etc. Good for the average Joe, but designers be warned... you will not be satisfied. We tried everything to adjust the monitor to no avail.
Rating: - Note to Brian Batts
Please read the manual. There is a way to turn off the resolution popup within the monitor's settings. Other than this not having a DVI connection, this is a great monitor.
