Description:
NEC's AccuSync line of monitors is the company's most affordable series of display solutions. An entry-level 15-inch model, the AccuSync 50M delivers fine quality at a low price; it's ideal for home or cost-conscious business use, and its built-in stereo amplifier and speakers provide a complete multimedia experience. The petite 50M measures 14.9 by 14.2 by 15 inches (only 13.8 inches of viewable screen) and weighs 31.5 pounds, yet it supports video modes as high as 1,280 x 1,024 at 66 Hz. This makes the AccuSync 50M a workable solution for classrooms, computer labs or server rooms where space and budgets are tight. When we examined the AccuSync 50M, we were pleased with its image quality but found practical limits to its daily use. While the monitor worked in all of its rated resolutions, anything over 800 x 600 resulted in undesirably small text (as it would with any 15-inch model). We found 800 x 600 the most comfortable mode for ordinary Windows use for both image size and flicker-free operation. The unit we examined also tended to slightly bend images from top to bottom. This distraction may prove a nuisance for users switching between this monitor and a flat-screen model. The monitor's brightness was superb, and its onscreen menus offered good control over display characteristics such as individual color-channel level, position, and geometry control. All in all, this little monitor offers fantastic quality for its price. --Stephen W. Plain
