Summary: Very Happy
Review: 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.

Summary: An Excellent 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor
Review: After my old 15" CRT monitor went dead, and after reading all the reviews from this website, I was convinced to go out and get a LCD flat panel monitor. I did some serious research to find out which monitor was better between this one and the Envision 15" LCD monitor. So I went out and got the NEC MultiSync LCD 1530v. I was very impressed on how quick and easy it was to set it up. The "auto adjust" feature tuned in my monitor correctly the first time. My wife and I have played many video games with this monitor without any problems! When playing a DVD, the picture is crisp and clear with no signs of distortion. The colors on this monitor are absolutely amazing! My wife who uses the computer as much as I do also gives this monitor 5 stars for the reason that it does not hurt her eyes. For those of you whose eyes have low tolerance to glare, you don't have to worry about that. The monitor works best at a resolution of 1024x768. My system is an AMD K6-2 550MHz processor, Windows XP operating system, and ATI Radeon 7200 video card. I've had this monitor for 3 months now. I must say that it was the BEST purchase I've made!
If you're looking for an LCD flat panel monitor and can't afford to spend much money, then this monitor is for you. The viewing size of this monitor is 15.1", the same size of a 17" CRT monitor. With all the features and advantages that comes with this monitor, it's worth the spending. So go out and get one while they're hot! I give this LCD monitor my highest recommendations!

Summary: Great price/performance!
Review: 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!

Summary: Flat Fan Forever
Review: Five minutes after unpacking the NEC 1530V I was using the monitor as set up is very easy. The design is very striking and obviously quite sleek compared to a traditional monitor. The flat panel allowed me to reclaim my office desk area and the 15 inch flat panel seems to have as much viewing space as my 17 inch monitor (without the space requirements). Excellent color and I saw no visible shadows in text mode. I would recommend this product to anyone who is ready to venture into purchasing a flat panel monitor.

Review: Great monitor for a 15" LCD. Wish I could have gotten my hands on their 18" model. Not as crisp as my 19" trinitron, but great nontheless.

Summary: NEC 1530V Love it!
Review: Had this monitor 2 weeks now and will probably never go back to a crt type. I really gave this monitor a work out the first week I had it to make sure it was what I wanted thinking I could always return it if I didn't like it. I love it. With the price down ... now you might as well get it while you can, I don't think it will go any lower. An excellent choice for home business and graphics. I have only played one game on it so far, Tomb Raider 4. It was much better quality than my old CRT. I highly recommend this monitor.

Summary: Best monitor I've ever owned.
Review: I endlessly researched LCD computer monitors before I purchased this and the research paid off... big time. My friends and family are amazed at the sleakness (I ordered the black version) and the picture quality of this monitor. Additionally, believe it or not, this monitor appreciated from the time I purchased it on AMZN, imagine that! It's expecially great in a dorm/apartment setting.

Summary: Surprisingly adequate for gaming
Review: I got one of these last week, and I'm extremely satisfied. I'm a serious gamer, and going from my old 17 inch NEC CRT monitor to this I was worried about the LCD latency problem. After using it for almost a week, I don't think I'll ever be going back to a CRT monitor. While the latency problem is there as with all LCDs, it only results in a very slight blurring around the edges of objects as they move onscreen, definitely not a big problem--and when you consider the low power consumption, low radiation, and incredible clarity of the monitor, this is a great purchase for anyone, gamers and casual users alike. By the way, pair the black model of the 1530V with a pair of Monsoon MM-700 panel speakers by Songistix and you have one incredible looking--and sounding--desktop setup. =)
