This is a great monitor for the price. I got this monitor for someone who needed a monitor mainly for word processing and browsing the web.
The default resolution is 1,024 x 768 pixels (and it won't look very good at any other resolution). NEC recommends setting the screen to this resolution, and then making the system type size larger - and that works fine.
I wouldn't recommend this monitor for graphic designers or photographers only because the color seems to change when viewed from different angles. Also, the colors don't seem to be uniform from one side to another - it's just like a laptop monitor (if you don't need color accuracy, then this isn't an issue).
And lastly, the monitor itself looks really cool (I purchased the black one), and you can push it back to free up your desk space.

I just bought this monitor a week ago, and I'm very pleased with it. I really don't have anything to complain about. It works flawlessly, and it looks great. And, it's nice to get back a huge amount of my desk-space. I had read some of the other reviews that mentioned that the screen isn't bright enough, or that pixels were dead, or that the color isn't uniform. I haven't had any of those problems. The screen is very bright, and people have even commented on how clear and easy to read the screen is. After he saw this monitor, one of my friends is now going to order one.

This monitor has excellent clarity and range of viewing. And of course, the size (or lack thereof) is tremendous!! I've actually managed to get my desk back! It was simple to install and setup on the computer. The only drawback is the resolution. 1024x768 is great for normal operations in Windows but the monitor gets a little unco-operative when you switch to a game that uses a different resolution. It still operates, but you can tell it doesn't like it. Overall, though, it's a great monitor!

it's great. Long story short. Bought monitor early December as a gift for my husband. By the time holidays were past and monitor was discovered to be defective, we were no longer able to return. Instead, we must go through NEC. They sent us another monitor to replace it. This one was also defective - 2 pixels burned out on the screen. Apparently there is a 7 pixel policy so we are unable to return to NEC. They sent us back to Amazon who refuses to do anything about it. You may be thinking 2 burned out pixels isn't so bad, but when you are working with graphics 10 hours a day they become a constant irritation. BEWARE - do not buy online. You will be stuck with less than desirable merchandise. Instead, help out your local dealers. Not only will they appreciate the business, but will be much more likely to go the extra mile to insure customer satisfaction.

I'm just your average every day user - no fancy stuff here, but I love this monitor! The view is outstanding and the price is right! It takes up about a quarter of the desk space of my old monitor and it's so light, moving it is no problem. I highly recommend it - especially if your desk space is limited.

This wonderful monitor is a true plug-and-play. I have been trying to think of some criticism so the review won't sound brainless, but there is absolutely nothing about the 1550v that's not top notch. The picture is bright and clear, the copy is crisp, the size is perfect, and I am running out of new ways to say, I just love this!

This is simply the best monitor ever, and it is such a value at the prices it is selling for. It's a space saver and the graphics and screen quality are simply amazing for the [low] price. I was doubtful at first, but decided to take a chance and buy it on Amazon.com. Am I glad I did! I'm using it right now and it is simply the best monitor ever, despite the negative reviews it has received in the past. I encourage everyone to buy this, you won't regret it.

Have you ever tried to view a 15" monitor at 1024x768 resolution, which is the recommendation for "Optimal Performance" with the MultiSync LCD1550V monitor. I wear corrective lenses, but my corrected vision is still 20/30, and I have to strain my eyes to read anything on this monitor. In addition, compared to my 17" Avitron Trinitron monitor, the colours on the NEC-Mitsubishi MultiSync LCD1550V 15: LCD Monitor are all washed out, even after adjustments were made. I was very very disappointed with this purchase and do not feel I should have to pay for return shipping. In addition, while it is a minor matter, your advertisement stated that the monitor was white, and the picture shown is white, but what I received was your typical "computer" putty colour. This was just a bad experience all the way around.

Failed right out of the box. Backlite uneven... screen darker towards the top 1/3 regardless of viewing angle. Screen/image started fluttering badly after just a few minutes. NEC tech. support's conclusion... DOA. However, in the few minutes it did work it was obvious that the speed of the screen was quite good in comparison to the LCD1530V. But furthermore, unless this particular unit was really screwed-up even when it did work, the LCD1530V has much better brightness and VERY EVEN backliting and a much better physical build quality... it just doesn't have the speed.
