Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The LCD1830 monitor brings clarity to your desktop graphics. The true 18.1-inch viewable image size provides a 300:1 contrast ratio and over 16 million colors through a new color algorithm, and supports the sRGB reproduction standard. With a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, your images will shine with crisp edges and vivid detail on a flicker-free screen.
The sleek frame offers lightweight versatility—the screen is just 3 inches deep and the total depth of the detachable base is just over 8 inches. The monitor's weight is 14.3 pounds, and it supports wall or arm mounting, with an optional bracket. The anti-glare hard coat guarantees clear viewing even in bright offices, and with the wide-angle technology, you can be assured of a clear view from a variety of positions (160 degrees horizontally and vertically).
NEC has brought plug-and-play to new heights with its automatic picture adjustment; once you connect the cables and power up, the monitor does the rest for you. When purchased new, the unit is backed by a three-year manufacturer's warranty that covers parts, labor, and backlight.

LCD flat screen reduces eye strain & headaches,
By "koshkadrook" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1830-BK 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I just bought one of these for $... and it totally reinvents the quality of your interaction with the computer. Why ? Because the individual pixels are extremely crisp in their presentation, which gives your eyes a more relaxed in-focus feeling. Next, the display is flat, and that opens up your desktop in a way that is most pleasant, and gets the screen AWAY from your eyes which reduces eye strain. NEXT, the unit has no TV-set flicker as regular monitors do, thereby reducing headaches. The elimination of electromagnetic and gamma radiation is also beneficial as there is no electron gun. As to me, I hucked out my CRT monitor and will never go back.. The reduction in headaches & eye strain is immediate & obvious. Passers-by also greatly admire the image.However, an NEC LCD 1830 is only for the technologically knowledgeable, and here is why: If you don't set it up and use it properly, it will deliver an image worse than a regular CRT. Think of the flat-panel field of LCD pixels as better, yet less forgiving of technical errors. Firstly, you have to understand that the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 (1.3 million pixels) and you must drive it as such from the computer. If you don't properly match to the 1830's native resolution, instead of razor-sharp individual pixel crispness, the image will be interpolated and look poor. Many a fool has presumed these displays to be inferior to the CRT's, only because they didn't operate them at native resolution. Nextly, you have to understand that the NEC 1830 is a value-oriented product and therefore has a good ole' fashioned RGB ANALOG (standard 15-pin) monitor interface. When the analog signal clocks in, it behaves much different from the CRT, in that there can be a mismatch between the changes in the clock and the changes of the analog value. THEREFORE the LCD 1830 includes an on-screen menu adjustment to adjust the dot-clock delay timing relation between the RGB data and clock. This is the 4th menu option and it is just below "H. Size". This adjustment is NOT adequately described by NEC and if you fail to carefully make this adjustment you will NOT get sharpness down to the single pixel. Admittedly the full-digital interfaces coming out will solve this but that topic is not in widespread manufacture here in Summer 2001. Except for the lack of emphasis on the dot-clock delay adjustment, the built-in menu is notably pleasant and easy to use... unlike various competitors. Also you are vulnerable to whether your analog cable was wired well, or poorly, and I have seen variations in pixel sharpness with different cables. Again the digitally driven versions to be seen in future years avoid those worries. Meanwhile the 15-pin analog cable is a universal and entirely safe thing to invest into so I bought into the 1830 without hesitation. The value and sharpness is incredible and was the best of the LCD flat-panels around $.... If you want the best then this is it. You must also make a point of turning it off when not in use as all of this incredible good fortune comes at the expense of flourescent backlighting. If you leave it on 24 hrs/day the factory says you will get about 5 years and then the bulb must be replaced in Georgia. If you are the least bit demanding about visual sharpness, and if you are tired of headaches and eye-strain from traditional monitors, then this LCD 1830 is the best bang for the buck here in Summer 2001. You will be wise to select a black-frame unit rather than the white-frame as it better offsets the crisp, photographically high-quality image. I hope you enjoy this new technology as much as I do. I shouldn't tell you this because I will be buying a 2nd for another machine, and I actually don't need your competition on the limited supply.

Unparalleled,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1830-BK 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I spent the last 10 years of my employment with the San Bernardino County GIMS department in front of a computer loading tract and historical survey information into a usable, modern database for public and professional access. I wish they had provided me with this fantastic monitor! I have never had such clarity of images and print! Since the resolution is better relative to the viewable size (21" old vs 18.1" new), it's taken some getting used to. But I will NEVER go back to the old CRT type of display, regardless of price!

Excellent monitor,
By Charlie Morris (Doylestown, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1830-BK 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
This is my first flat-screen LCD monitor other than on a laptop. The monitor is crisp without the slightest sign of jitter -- A big improvement over earlier analog-interface units. I have not experienced any of the noise or backlight yellowing issues described by other reviewers. This leads me to believe that these problems were caused by sample defects or improper handling before or during shipment. I will definitely not be going back to a CRT.Amazon, as always, handles the transaction and shipping flawlessly.
