Strengths: Bright Screen, Vivid Colors, No dead pixels (DVI changed my opinion)
Weaknesses: VGA is a little weak but this problem goes away with DVI... read my review.
Summary: 2003-05-20 15:34:10 I bought this 1560NX monitor after I read the review for the 1560M (very simalar but with speakers and a higher contrast ratio). Anyhow, when I first got the monitor I was generally pleased. I would have given it a 4/5 then. But after a while I realized that it just wasn't as crisp as my Gateway 9300 laptop screen. Even though my laptop was old, it had one of the clearest texts of any screen I've used (albeit - not a bright screen) I'm very picky so this started me looking again and I discovered, by comparing lcds in the stores, that this NEC monitor was about average when it came to text and a little above average on colors. In fact I was seriously considering trading it in for a Samsung 152B. The samsung has a good even text. Text is very important to me. But before I did this swith, I decided to buy a video card with DVI support and hook it up to this monitor (since it has both VGA and DVI connectors) WOW! - What a difference. It when from good to GREAT. The colors are more accurate and brigher and the text is now very sharp. I would say that it is now as good as the Samsung. Now I feel that this monitor is about as good as they get. BTW - the video card I put in was an NVidia MX 440 8X with DVI. I had an MX 440 analog only in before this. If you are looking I would suggest staying with either NEC or Samsung. Both are great manuafurers. If you only have a VGA connector I would say the Samsung 152B if you have DVI then go NEC.
