NEC LCD1770GX-BK 17" LCD Monitor (Black)

 (6 customer reviews)

This is my first LCD flat panel monitor and it's really nice. The menu is really easy to figure out. At first, when I just got it and installed it, I didn't really know what the DVI Plug was and was having difficulty. I was reading the manual and it didn't say anything about either using both the dsub(monitor plug) and the DVI or just the dsub plug. I played around and figured it out and knew how it works. If you're using the DVI plug, then it would appear in the 1st select on the monitor button. If you're using the dsub plug, then you would have to use the 2nd select on the monitor (kind of like on a TV where you want to play games and you would have to switch from Video1 and Video2). After I got this part down, it was pretty straight forward, you will also have to set the right size for the monitor in the properties.

At the time I purchased this monitor it was 400 dollars, for a 17 inch that was pretty expensive, today 9 months later that is extremely expensive compared to other ones of equal or better quality. after 7 months of operation the back light went out, so i sent it in, NEC honored the warranty and...Read more

got this moniter for my computer about 2-3 years ago and I have not had a single problem with it. It is as bright and clear now as it is the day I got it. I am now shopping for a new widescreen moniter and this moniter has made me decide to stick with NEC for ever.

I feel sorry for the guy who got 2 bad ones in a row that is really unfortunate but he is the first person I have heard of having a problem like that.
