This is a great monitor for the price. I got this monitor for someone who needed a monitor mainly for word processing and browsing the web.
The default resolution is 1,024 x 768 pixels (and it won't look very good at any other resolution). NEC recommends setting the screen to this resolution, and then making the system type size larger - and that works fine.
I wouldn't recommend this monitor for graphic designers or photographers only because the color seems to change when viewed from different angles. Also, the colors don't seem to be uniform from one side to another - it's just like a laptop monitor (if you don't need color accuracy, then this isn't an issue).
And lastly, the monitor itself looks really cool (I purchased the black one), and you can push it back to free up your desk space.

I just bought this monitor a week ago, and I'm very pleased with it. I really don't have anything to complain about. It works flawlessly, and it looks great. And, it's nice to get back a huge amount of my desk-space. I had read some of the other reviews that mentioned that the screen isn't bright enough, or that pixels were dead, or that the color isn't uniform. I haven't had any of those problems. The screen is very bright, and people have even commented on how clear and easy to read the screen is. After he saw this monitor, one of my friends is now going to order one.

This monitor has excellent clarity and range of viewing. And of course, the size (or lack thereof) is tremendous!! I've actually managed to get my desk back! It was simple to install and setup on the computer. The only drawback is the resolution. 1024x768 is great for normal operations in Windows but the monitor gets a little unco-operative when you switch to a game that uses a different resolution. It still operates, but you can tell it doesn't like it. Overall, though, it's a great monitor!

it's great. Long story short. Bought monitor early December as a gift for my husband. By the time holidays were past and monitor was discovered to be defective, we were no longer able to return. Instead, we must go through NEC. They sent us another monitor to replace it. This one was also defective - 2 pixels burned out on the screen. Apparently there is a 7 pixel policy so we are unable to return to NEC. They sent us back to Amazon who refuses to do anything about it. You may be thinking 2 burned out pixels isn't so bad, but when you are working with graphics 10 hours a day they become a constant irritation. BEWARE - do not buy online. You will be stuck with less than desirable merchandise. Instead, help out your local dealers. Not only will they appreciate the business, but will be much more likely to go the extra mile to insure customer satisfaction.

I'm just your average every day user - no fancy stuff here, but I love this monitor! The view is outstanding and the price is right! It takes up about a quarter of the desk space of my old monitor and it's so light, moving it is no problem. I highly recommend it - especially if your desk space is limited.
