Amazon.com Product Description

If your desktop is prime real estate but your work is graphic intensive, the MultiSync 1700V LCD monitor's small footprint, rich color, and bright display provide a solution on all levels. The LCD screen has a 17.0-inch viewable area, with a 1,024 x 768 maximum resolution. The high contrast ratio (400:1) makes the display is crisp, and an intuitive onscreen manager lets you easily adjust contrast, brightness, and other settings.

The OmniColor technology provides brilliant color calibration, with sRGB support and six-axis color control (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan), making the monitor ideal for multimedia tasks like desktop publishing and graphics-intensive work.

The sleek casing and base keep the monitor stable even when the screen is tilted at its extremes, up to 150 degrees horizontal and 110 degrees vertical. The anti-static, anti-glare screen features a treatment that refracts unwanted light away from you, and the 1550M is both TCO '99 and ENERGY 2000 compliant, in keeping with the strict standards for low radiation, safety, ergonomics, recycling and power management.

With Plug and Play installation and connection via a 15-pin Dsub cable, the monitor is compatible with PCs and Macs, Sun, Silicon Graphics, and other workstations, and x-terminals. The three-year onsite warranty includes the backlight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful on my G4 PowerMac!, August 29, 2002

By	skunktrain (So. California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1700V-BK 17" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

No problems with this LCD monitor at all. It's my first LCD flat panel, so I haven't got much to compare it with, but I must say, I am pleased. Excellent contrast, bright screen, works well with both my 2 year old G4 PowerMac (in OS 9 and OS X) and my 3 year old Windows 98 PC. I had no problems getting it set up or working with either system.

Of course, it is a transition from a traditional CRT monitor-there is a set "native resolution" that the monitor looks best in (1280 x 1024). Of course you can use other resolutions, but they are not quite as nice. Since I was planning on setting it at 1280 x 1024, this is a non-issue for me. (All LCD monitors have a set "native resolution".) And, color calibration is ... "different" than it is with a CRT. Also, the colors get a little skewed when I look at the screen from an angle. (In this monitor's case, there is a pretty good viewing range, so I have no complaints.) I hasten to add, these are issues with all flat panels, so it comes with the territory! All-in-all, minor issues for me.

I am very pleased with this monitor, and hope to get another just like it soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb monitor at a great price!, July 16, 2002

By	Fadi (Ft. Lauderdale, Fl) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1700V-BK 17" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

The LCD1700V monitor has rich colors and a bright screen. It is an excellent buy...The only problem I'm now facing is that I'm running Windows with a 2 monitor setup. In comparison, my professional Viewsonic CRT monitor looks pale and I see myself often turning it off and working only with the NEC LCD monitor. I guess sooner or later I'll have to buy another LCD monitor :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Crisp!, December 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is a response to the review by "Borislav Kolev" from Texas.

The recommended rate for Vertical Refresh is simply a reference to how the LCD panel circuitry will handle the analog to digital conversion that is inherent in an LCD panel.
An LCD panel does not actually "refresh" the screen in the same manner that a cathode ray tube does (e.g., television or standard computer monitor) and you can see this when you view the monitor through a video camera (have you ever noticed the flicker you see on television sets in the background of a newscast? That's the phenomenon of refresh rate (in Hertz) being out of "sync" with the video camera).
Hence, our friend from Texas or anyone else with extreme sensitivity to common computer monitors (myself included) should experience NO sensitivity to an LCD panel that is using 60Hz vertical refresh. I suggest the reviewer give 60Hz a chance before returning the unit.
