This review is from: NEC Display E231W-BK 23-Inch Widescreen LED-Backlit LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)
Once this monitor is properly set up, the resolution is excellent, with very good color and a very clear picture. Compared to historic prices for this quality of monitor, the price ($201, before tax and shipping) was good as well. However, I found the setup frustrating and difficult.

I found that the settings that this monitor comes with are unusable, at least when it was connected to my Fedora 14 Linux system. I did not try it with a Windows system, but I would not expect different behavior.

The worst of these default setting is the power conservation that dims the monitor to unusability. This power conservation setting, called ECO, is turned in the factory default settings. The only way that I could use the monitor was to turn the ECO setting off. Such a setting is useless in any case, since most computers have screen saver software that will put the monitor in standby mode when there is no computer use.

There is no user manual for the monitor...Read more

In my opinion this E231W-BK is an excellent monitor for many reasons! I love the matt finish frame and screen that prevents distracting reflections that are present on other manufacturers monitors who seem to be trying to make something glitzy rather than something for serious long-duration work use. The color accuracy is excellent and operation straight out of the box is effortless. NEC is one of the few manufacturers that includes an ergonomic mount that swivels, tilts and has height adjustment. They also provide a complete set of cables. This is the second NEC monitor I have purchased in the last 12 months from Amazon. The other was an EA231WMi that also shares most of the the features of the E231W-BK but has a slightly higher color accuracy and wider viewing angle. Hope NEC keeps manufacturing high quality monitors with these great features I have come to respect and enjoy!

The monitors are bright and big. I bought two and have them side by side (horizontally).

However, one monitor has a stuck pixel in the upper left corner. It's usually stuck on blue after the Windows loading screen. I typically don't notice it though because it's not in the main view. I was simply flabbergasted because this is the very first stuck pixel I've experienced in my life.
