5 out of 5 stars very pleased.......2007-04-30

I am very pleased with this monitor. I did an extensive search, unfortunately primarily online -- it would be preferable to see monitors but that's not possible for all. For my Powerbook 15" G4, I looked at Apples and Samsungs, read reviews, and finally settled on this NEC because of its specs and general NEC reliability.

I've had it now almost a month, 6 or 7 or more hours/day and it's excellent, sharp, clear and true colors (as true as true is, at least) with ample adjustments possible --- and as an especial bonus, it's really helped my eyes. I had been getting quite serious eye strain with the PB (and also using an iMac) but there is something about the quality of the NEC which has helped greatly.

5 out of 5 stars There is nothing else!.......2007-01-27

I was like you -- reading reviews to make sure I was choosing the right monitor. And after reading and mulling over literally hundreds of reviews - I had finally narrowed it down to one. Though I am admittedly an NEC fan at heart, I was still willing to look at what other companies have going. This is by far the nicest monitor I've come across in a long time. It's absolutely huge, colors are spot on, and I've got no issue such as ghosting, bands, etc. I couldn't be happier about this product. Though I might seem rather expensive, this monitor is definitely worth every penny!
Amazon as always has great prices, quick and reliable shipping. Thanks!

      4 out of 5 stars NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX 20" LCD Monitor.......2007-05-12

      Great monitor, colors are even and the viewing angles are better than I expected. No back light bleeding, no ghosting, no dead or stuck pics. The swivel base and height adjusting stand make it very easy to setup for comfortable viewing. I just wish I had purchased a second one while it was on sale :)

      The only thing that stopped me from giving it all 5 stars, is the powered USB hub. When you turn the monitor off, the hub shuts down as well. If you leave an MP3 player,iPOD, or a cell phone attached to charge, you must leave the monitor on. It's not a big issue, as the monitor will blank the screen and go into sleep/power saving mode automatically, with power still going to the hub. I was justed used to turning off my old monitor when I step away from the PC.

      5 out of 5 stars Given the price, 5 Stars.......2007-04-07

      I am a professional photographer so I need a monitor that can be fully calibrated to the sRGB color space, the 2070NX gets as close as any monitor under $1K. While many LCD monitors at this price can be color corrected, very few can have corrected brightness levels. My white luminance is 118 cd/m2 and even more impressive is my blacks get down to .16 (most LCD's don't get dark enough, this one is very reasonable). The key to get this accuracy is to set up for viewing in dim conditions (most calibrations packages give several options for ambient lighting).
      If you don't want to spend the money on a LaCie or other higher bit depth monitor but still need your images to match your prints I highly suggest this monitor...just don't forget to buy a monitor calibration hardware.

        5 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for.......2007-03-18

        Awesome monitor. Pricey for its size, but your paying for the 1600:1 contrast ratio which makes colors look fantastic. If you play games or dvd's this is the monitor for you. 6ms refresh is fast enough for pretty much anything you can throw at it with no ghosting.

        Haven't used the speakers so can't comment on that.

        Only complaint is that the base has no height adjustment, so it sits a little lower that is optimal on my desk. But you can wall mount it if you want.

        5 out of 5 stars Stop Suffering with an Inadequate Monitor.......2001-02-13

        I have always had large screens, starting with black/white models in the early 1980s. For the past several years, I have used a 21" color CRT. I've wanted a large (20"+) LCD monitor for a long time. My search revealed that only NEC offers them right now.

        The NEC LCD 2010X monitor is flatter and, I think, has richer colors than the CRT. It is lighter, does not emit UV rays, does not glare and does not refresh (flicker). Most important, it takes up a lot less space on the desk. I run it at 1280 x 1024 and can get two nearly-full pages on the screen side by side. On the other hand, at this resolution, the LCD screen seems slightly grainier than the CRT monitor.

        The panel can be easily rotated or raised/lowered 3". The screen measures a full 20.1" diagonally. It appears the 2010X is the latest model; it came out about November 2000. As advertised, the screen may be viewed from the side. It is legible at 85 degrees and readable at about 60.

        Stop suffering with inadequately small screens. Professionals need the best tools. The NEC 2010X is the best.

        As a publisher and an author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I spend my entire day in front of a monitor. I want the best. I recommend this monitor to anyone who spends a lot of time staring at a screen. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

            5 out of 5 stars Easy to set up.......2003-04-14

            By comparison with the experience I had with a similar product by Linksys, this baby was up and running in no time. I set it up in a Windows XP machine and then in a Windows 98SE machine, and both times it was a breeze to get up and running. One piece of advice (I learned it the hard way): don't expect this technology to go be able to go through metal doors. It just will not happen. Other than that, in a more "normal" setting, it should perform just fine.

            5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2003-03-07

            This thing literally worked right out of the box with an SMC PCMCIA NIC. I typed in the AP's address and started configuring. I turned one feature on at a time until I had 128 bit WEP and access control working. The only thing that gave me any trouble is that the web interface requires "0x" before the hex for the WEP string and the NIC won't accept it. Not a big deal for me, but I can see why the guy in the store warned me that people return SMC stuff a lot because they can't figure out how to set it up.

            BTW, I also have an SMC router that has worked flawlessly since I bought it.

            3 out of 5 stars Not great........2003-02-16

            This product really doesn't perform as well as I had expected.
            Limited range and functionality. We're disappointed.

            5 out of 5 stars Good quality, possibly difficult setup.......2003-02-13

            I am using this access point with the SMC7004ABR router and the access point has never been a problem. I used the AP straight out of the box without upgrading the firmware and I've never had to reset it or change any settings for the 6 months I've been running it. I've also got MAC filtering and WEP working.

            The one place where newbies could have problems is in setup. I had read some other reviews that suggested changing the IP addresses of my router to use the range the AP was expecting. I did that and things worked right away. I might have been able to configure the AP to look for a different IP address but I didn't try that.

            One thing to consider is that this version of the hardware can only be configured via Windows software. The newer version has a web interface that isn't tied to Microsoft products. Ultimately, the price and the really good reviews for the product led me to buy it anyway. Also, I have only really used the software once when I set the thing up.

            One more general note that might explain all the reviewers power-cycling the AP - the wireless client that comes with Windows XP is somewhat buggy and junky. Some of the WEP setup in the client is non-standard. Also, it seems to not reauthenticate itself at various times. For a while, I was working around the problems by disabling and re-enabling my wireless adapter. Then my company switched to the Odyssey wireless client because of this issue. This fixed all the problems, both at home and at work.

            3 out of 5 stars Serious pain to configure, works fine once it's running.......2002-10-24

            I'm a professional system administrator and ordered this AP when it's price dropped too low to pass up.

            The good:
            AP has a very small footprint, mounting holes in back
            Excellent range & strength; covers my duplex with excellent strength & quality
            Simple to configure MAC address filter & WEP keys once you can connect to it

            The bad:
            I'm not entirely sure how a non-technical user would ever set this AP up. The documentation indicates that it's "plug & play", and indeed it is as long as you don't want to change _anything_. The firmware shipped with the AP would not work. The latest on the web site would not work. Finally, the 1.7.1 version (earlier version on the website) worked. In order to make it work I had to watch my DHCP server logs (the manual indicates that it ships with a static 192.168.0.254 address; in fact mine shipped with it's DHCP client on. Scanning for the AP has yet to work for me, but if I connect to it's DHCP assigned address with the default password I was finally able to get in.

            Once in, configuration was a breeze, and as I said the AP has been working just fine since then.
