Summary: Great monitor....while it lasts
Review: I had this monitor for about 1.5 years and loved it.
However, one day the screen went blank. I called NEC customer service and was sent out a refurbished model. That had the same identical problem! Again I called customer service and was told I would be sent a NEW monitor. I waited several days and what do I see upon arrival? A big box with "REFURBISHED" stamped all over it! Still, I plugged it in and it worked fine for about 3 hours then went to super-low resolution with "glimmering" all over the screen. I know it is not the graphics card because the monitor I borrowed from a friends works great with my computed.
I have this theory that NEC never actually "refurbishes" their monitors, but instead continually cycles returned defective monitors to purchasers...

Summary: You can have my NEC when you pry my cold dead fingers off...
Review: I have had this LCD for 4 months and I love it. I use it at least 8 hours a day, primarily for software development and business applications, and find it is very easy on the eyes. I run at the recommended resolution of 1024x768 60Hz and find text is sharp, the display is bright, and contrast is excellent. I also do a bit of gaming and Photoshop work and I am pleased with it in these roles as well. As an added bonus(like other LCDs), it is silent, doesn't heat up my office, gave me back valuable desktop space, and is easy to move. The concealed cable tray and raise/tilt stand are also a nice touch. If you plan on spending any decent amount of time infront of a computer, do yourself a favor and buy one. It is money well spent.

Summary: Very nice monitor for the right $$$!
Review: I just ordered one of these [...] and I just love it! I had a 17" CRT and it seems bigger. The colors are also much more vibrant. The Auto Adjust feature is just great and I used to get a lot of glare on my CRT which just isn't present on this one. Definitely the best monitor in its price range! I have no complaints!

Summary: I love my new monitor
Review: I should have bought an LCD years ago...Even at ($) dollars more, as much as I use my machine, it would have been a good investment. The NEC looks great and works well. Very bright and easy to read text (using XP cleartype).

Summary: WOW, Hang on!
Review: I've been looking at a 15" CRT since I ditched my TRASH-80 and this 17" LCD knocks my socks off! Even with two left hands and ten thumbs I had it out of the box and up and running in about 30 minutes. Sure, it takes a little getting use to the 1280x1024 resolution (about 15 mins., give or take) but, you'll never go back!

Summary: Wonderful on my G4 PowerMac!
Review: 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.

Review: That is my third LCD monitor in my home and the worst one.

Summary: Superb monitor at a great price!
Review: 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 :)

Summary: Mike likes it!
Review: This gorgeous LCD monitor is easy on the eyes, consumes very little power and has low heat emissions..I love it! The standard 1280 x 1024 resolution seemed small at first. After playing around with the free LiquidView software I decided to switch back to the standard setup and love it.
