NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX 20.1'' - Expert Reviews

Review summary: Given NEC's big reputation in the world of displays, it's perhaps surprising to see the company unveil an LCD screen that's diminutive in terms of both dimensions and price tag. The NEC MultiSync LCD 1770NX is a rare beast these days: a 17in model.

Verdict: The NEC MultiSync LCD 1770NX is a capable if outwardly drab monitor. It's perhaps better suited to the office than home use.

Review summary: We've grown rather fond of NEC's range of flat-panel monitors; they're always stylish, well designed and a joy to use. However, we're not so sure about this latest model from the range

Pros: Good range of adjustments, Slimline design, Dual inputs, Great NaViSet controls

Cons: Bleached colour, Poor viewing angles

Verdict: The MultiSync 1770NX looks better than it is. The bleached colours and narrow viewing angles were disappointing

Review summary: The 1770NX features a slightly more curvy slimline bezel than its larger siblings

Pros: Good range of adjustments, Slimline design, Dual inputs, Great NaViSet controls

Cons: Bleached colour, Poor viewing angles

Verdict: The response rate seems rather slow and leaves a yellowish trail behind black text when scrolling through, say, a web page. The standard settings bleach out a lot of detail on the screen, although the sRGB setting improves things a little

Review summary: NEC LCD2070NXA very impressive 20in TFT

Pros: Good colour reproduction
