| Review | Rating | Last Updated | A Great Monitor
I've had this monitor for a week now, and I'm completely content with my purchase. I shopped around very carefully for a long time, and ultimately chose the NEC 1560V because of the low price, high contrast ratio (400:1 same as the Dell UltraSharp, but the NEC [costs] less), and I also wanted a WHITE monitor, which I found to be rare in my searches. The picture is crisp, without a trace of fuzziness. I had to lower my screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels - and that's the ONLY level that will work with this monitor. I like to keep my windows small, so that took some getting used to, but it's okay. The screen is adjustable, and my dad was excited to see that the viewing range was quite wide - 120 degrees, again, better than the UltraSharp's 80 degrees. Sure, I'd recommend this monitor - it's cheap, it's pretty, and it's functional. A great choice for people who don't have money to burn. | 5 | 749 days ago | Very good for both Mac and PC!
I've really enjoyed using this monitor. I got another model of MultiSync monitor about 6 months ago, and was very pleased with that, so I saw no reason to switch brands when I discovered I needed another LCD monitor. I've used this monitor on my PC running Windows 98, and then Windows XP. (I later upgraded to XP.) I've also used it on a PowerMac G4 (connected to the VGA port), which runs both OS X and OS 9. It works well with both of these Macintosh Operating Systems. The screen is bright and clear. When I ran the Windows update in XP, it immediately found a recent driver for this monitor. That was nice. It is best to set this monitor at its "native" resolution of 1024 x 768 -- if you set it for 800 x 600 (or lower) the monitor "reminds" you periodically that it is not set at its "best" setting. This warning will keep popping up and while I assume there's a way to make it go away permenantly, it is a little irritating. So, be warned if you want to use this monitor at anything other than 1024 x 768. Actually, all LCD monitors are the same in this regard -- they don't *want* to be set at any other resolution other than their "native" resolution. The sharpness will not be as good on any LCD monitor if it's not at its "native" resolution. That's just the nature of LCD. All I can say is that setting up this monitor has been trouble-free. It is a slim and lightweight monitor with a bright screen. An absolute joy. Very cross-platform! I am quite pleased with it. | 5 | 749 days ago |
