Description:
As a 17-inch display, the NEC AccuSync 70 is a stout little performer. It's an inexpensive and capable monitor, ideal for any small or home office with normal graphics needs, handling business apps, Internet browsing, and day-to-day use just fine. The AccuSync's biggest flaw is readily apparent--a weak refresh rate at the highest resolution. Topping out at 1,280 x 1,024 (SXGA) at 66 Hz, screen flicker is both obvious and irritating. This definitely isn't the monitor for power users. However, at the recommended 1,024 x 768 (XGA), the AccuSync boasts a solid flicker-free refresh rate of 87 Hz, sure to please tired eyes. When XGA just isn't enough, consider using 1,152 x 870 at 77 Hz, a good compromise between the highest and recommended settings. The AccuSync's modest dimensions conserve valuable desk space, and it has one of the skinniest footprints we've seen for a CRT of this size. While not necessarily the best monitor on the block, the NEC AccuSync 70 is a good price-to-performance option for those on a budget. --Dan Simpson
