Summary: 1 LCD with dead pixel, 1 LCD with wavy film
Review: I bought one NEC LCD1760NX-BK-1 (black) from another online store, and two NEC LCD1760NX-1's (white) from Amazon, all in Dec-Feb. These have 16ms response times -- good for games and DVD movies -- a height-adjustable stand (nice), and interpolate fine to lower resolutions. The black one was perfect. The white ones have cuter looking frames. Panel-wise, the first white one from Amazon had no dead pixels -- however, there was a strange waviness in the film which you could see standing up (I don't think I've seen this before on an LCD). Otherwise, looking straight on, the picture was fine. The second white one had a bright-green always-on pixel. Considering my Windows background is black, and at boot up the BIOS screen is black, it's pretty obvious. Viewing web pages in IE, you don't notice as much. I e-mailed NEC support and they said a "faulty" monitor is defined as having at least 7 subpixel problems (pixels which are a color), 5 whole pixel problems (pixels that are always black or white), or 4 subpixel / 2 whole pixel problems in the same 5x5 pixel area (ha). Also, between all three LCDs, the one with the dead pixel is dimmer -- I need to turn up brightness to 100% to match 75% on the other LCDs (it's funny because, according to the serial number, the dimmer one is actually newer than the other white one -- 3ZJ00632GA instead of 3ZJ00590GA). I plan to keep the wavy white one, and return the dim, dead-pixel white one. I see many positive reviews for the black one on other sites, and they're cheaper -- I suspect NEC manufactures more of the black ones, and stores sell more of them, so you get the newer ones in all the time for black. It's also funny that I bought from NEC to avoid dead pixels and weird problems. Many 16ms panels (including this one I believe) are produced by AU Optronics, a Taiwanese company with factories in China probably, but I was hoping that QA would be better with NEC and they wouldn't ship the ones with defects. Always see user reviews on the Internet for the most informed choice (in my case, should have stuck with black).SUMMARY:
I got two white ones from Amazon with defects -- I got one black one from another online store which was fine. The white ones have a cuter frame. These LCDs are good for games and LCDs, have a height-adjustable and tiltable stand, and interpolate fine to lower resolutions. Get a black one.
