Strengths: Name, Quality, price.
Weaknesses: Built-in speakers stink
Summary: Looked around for a bargain....which in this type of purchase pays off if you have the time to shop around. Staples.com had this for $199 and then an additional $50 rebate. Free shipping, too. Timed it right....so you have to be patient. Would not have spent the retail price, though....was looking a Viewsonic and Acer for around $175...so this was a bargain at $149 + tax. I worked for NEC America and know the quality of their product cannot be surpassed. It costs a bit more for NEC products...and that's what put them out of the U.S market with their Home Electronics Division (TV's, etc.) a few years back. Thw higher price/quality could not compete with cheaper manufacturers. This day and age....the specs for all the monitors are pretty similar in the price range of 150-250.....so I went for the name...and found a great price. This monitor is considered a "Business" monitor...but I use it at home without issue. Built-in speakers are very "tinny" sounding...so if you already have nice speakers hooked up...you may want to keep them. This is a "plug and play" monitor....so it detects itself and installs the proper driver. I have an older Compaq P.C., and it did not detect itself...and used the existing driver for my old monitor. Still looked good....but when I went to the NEC website and installed the correct one...you could definately see the difference. Look around. If you don't need a monitor right away...you'll save yourself some money....thank's to sites like Pricegrabber, etc.
