:. NEC 1530v .:

When I first plugged this monitor in and put my old, heavy, radiation-producing CRT into the garage I immediately noticed how much better the picture had gotten. At the time of getting this monitor I had Windows 98 installed. That OS just doesn't do this monitor justice. Everything looks so plain and nerdy. Now that I have Windows XP Professional, this monitors full display features are shown. Everything looks so good with the new XP styling on this LCD that I would never go back to CRT displays again.

The NEC 1530v has an auto adjust feature that allows the user to set up the monitor color, contrast, and other settings with the click on a button. Once set up, the real test can begin. While viewing web pages I found the monitor to have a really sharp and clear image that are easy on the eyes.

However, one thing that isn't to big of a problem is the slower pixel rate (50ms). The words on the web pages were somewhat blurred while scrolling up and down. Video and video games were unaffected by the pixel rate and look clear and sharp. Playing video games such as Medal of Honor and GTA 3, I found this monitor to perform extremely well. The images were much better looking than a CRT monitor. This made the gaming experience a much more enjoyable one than if I played with my old CRT monitor. 

I also found this monitor to work extremely well under intense sun light because of its super brightness. My brother has my old Samsung CRT and whenever it becomes sunny in both our rooms, he can't see his screen at all while I can see everything with the utmost of clarity.

The monitor also has a lock slot on the back. So if you buy this monitor for a commercial or other setting where it is at risk of being stolen then you can purchase a lock for it. The locking area is designed in an industrial fashion, where the lock will be attached to the inside metal frame of the monitor and not the plastic.

While editing images, the NEC 1530v performed very well. The vast amounts of colors and the resolution allow for a very clear image that is good enough to use for editing images. This is unusual for monitors of this price range but NEC managed to include a lot of standard features that are found in more expensive monitors.
