Amazon.com Review
If your desktop is prime real estate but your work is graphics intensive, the NEC/Mitsubishi 1530V's tiny footprint, rich color, and bright picture provide a solution to both issues. The 200:1 high-contrast display with 1,024 x 768 resolution and 0.3-millimeter dot pitch combine to produce beautiful images, all from a very compact package.
Weighing only 10.4 pounds and sporting a screen that's less than 3 inches thick, the monitor is so thin and light that, taking it out of the box, we had an instinctive reaction of "this can't be high quality--it's too light!" However, we soon changed our mind. Setup was a snap, and the No-Touch Auto Adjusting technology adjusted many display settings for us from the very first use to efficiently use every pixel of space on the screen. Having tested many monitors before, we're wary of automatic setup functions, as they often don't work as well as promised. But the first time we turned on the 1530V, it had ideal settings for our test PC.
In our tests, the 1530V's 1,024 x 768 resolution, 0.3-millimeter dot pitch, and a 200:1 contrast ratio provided remarkably crisp images. (Although you can use the monitor at a 640 x 480 resolution, 1,024 x 768 is optimal and recommended.) Text that was small and light against a dark background did suffer from slight shadowing, but the effect was negligible. The color was astounding: rich, fully saturated hues across the rainbow, producing vibrant greens and warm skin tones. The monitor handled graphics-intensive applications with ease: we loaded test images into Photoshop, watched streaming media videos, and tested animation programs. We never caught a single flicker. And when we ran a program that would benefit from reducing the contrast, the onscreen controls were readily accessible and completely intuitive. Also, the monitor's base, which is just over 6 inches deep by 10 inches wide, kept the monitor stable even when the screen was tilted to extreme angles.
Meeting VESA standards, the 1530V is wall and arm mountable for commercial use, and the power and PC cords plug in beneath a removable casing, keeping your desktop (or wall space) tidy. The 1530V is compatible with PCs and Macs as well as Sun, Silicon Graphics, and other workstations and X-terminals. The three-year warranty includes parts (even the backlight) and labor. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

This review is from: NEC 1530V-BK 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor (Electronics)
Finally, LCD monitors are not prohibitively expensive for those of us on a budget! Many people are wary when they hear 15 inches, but the viewable image size is the same as that of most 17" monitors. Unfortunately, with a LCD, you are stuck at 1024 x 768 resolution, whereas with a 17" CRT, you can change the resolution to whatever you like. The advantage of fixed pixels is that the image is extremely crisp and clear - absolutely no fuzziness or bluriness. However, if you use interpolation to change the resolution to something lower than the native 1024 x 768, the LCD has to use discrete pixels to compensate for partial pixels and the results is something extremely fuzzy and hard to look at. Thus, for many gamers, I do not recommend this display, as refresh times are inferior to CRTs, and resolution is limited to a single option. Another drawback to this LCD is that it is actually not very bright. One thing you lose when you buy a cheaper LCD is brigtness. While all LCD's are signifiicalty dimmer than CRTs, the 1530V-BK is not even as bright as its competitors. If your work environment is an office with few windows and not much light, you probably won't notice a problem. However, if you plan on working in an space where natural light can reflect off your screen, you will quickly find that your monitor becomes nearly unusable. What about color consistancy? Many have railed against LCDs for their poor color accuracy, but the truth is that unless you are a professional graphic designer - and anyone buying this ... monitor is probably not in the graphics design industry - colors look great and this argument is not an issue. Another nice thing about this monitor is that it runs very cool and quiet, and will save you a lot on your electricity bill and general fatigue. Personally, I am very fond of the black color, as it looks much more professional and less cheap and generic than some comparably-priced no-name beige LCDs. Viewing angle is acceptable, although more expensive LCDs and certainly any CRT is more impressive in this arena. Thus, if you plan on using your monitor to give presentations, you should probably look elsewhere. Text appears crisp and readable, as long as it is not too small, and the image is rock solid. Overall, a highly-recommended product for general use unless your needs fall into the categories I warned against in this review!

Definitely a winner!,
By nagappa (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEC 1530V 15" LCD Monitor (White) (Personal Computers)
I wanted an LCD monitor to add to my SOHO business on a desk with very limited space. Since I am used to CRT monitors of 17in and above I was a bit hesitant to go for a 15in LCD monitor.To my pleasant surprise I found that 15in LCD equals 17in CRT monitor in viewing size. Now, comparing this to my other 17in CRT monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster 750s): * The screen size is approximately the same (the viewing area of this monitor is actually 15.1 in which is less than 1/2in smaller than the "17in" CRT. So it actually feels like a 17in !!) * The dot pitch in 0.3mm, slighly greater than my CRT monitor which is 0.24mm (H) and 0.14mm (V). However, there is no noticeable difference! (Unless you position your head less than 2ft from the screen). * There is a slight noise when you move any Window (I am running Windows2000) with this LCD monitor. This noise is absent in the CRT monitor. * The appearance, weight, footprint, and screen controls in the LCD monitor blow away my CRT monitor * The picture quality is in this LCD monitor crisper and the color saturation better than my CRT monitor In summary, this monitor exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with it.

This review is from: NEC 1530V-BK 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor (Electronics)
A very nice, cost-effective LCD monitor. After using a CRT of the highest quality, this LCD stuns one with its clarity and color saturation. It appears to have relatively low persistance time, as I have played any number of mpeg2 movies (but you *do* see the slightest noise in the picture that was masked with an analog monitor).It is quite true that the 15.1 in LCD equals a 17 inch CRT - I measured them and they were only fractions of an inch different. I have two reservations: Firstly, as text fonts change, especially to small sizes, the text becomes harder to read. Secondly, and maybe this is an illusion, the the image seems to bend inward (concave) to my eye...if I turn the monitor, I can see it is absolutely straight, but too my eye this flatness looks like it has a slight push inward. 2115|RYMMWD6KIEMCY;2115|RELL1154TIIQ8;2115|R206FF2EANZS6X;
