Guide Review - NEC LCD1760V 17" LCD Monitor
NEC has built a very commendable LCD monitor that can compete very well against a CRT monitor of similar size. Its color representation and clarity were excellent for graphics work such as digital photography and even video playback. Ghosting was limited to a few applications such as scrolling the page in a web browser when a large amount of green was displayed. Using the monitor in non-native resolutions was trouble free as the monitor was able to display both text and graphics with no noticeable blurring. Its slim dimensions should allow it to fit into any desktop environment. The biggest complaint with the monitor comes from the fact that there are too many control buttons and an non-intuitive use of them for navigating the menus.
