Description: The NEC AccuSync LCD19WMGX is a 19 in, flat panel computer monitor. Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $245. It has a built-in set of stereo speakers. This LCD features a 1440x900 native resolution. Weighs 9.9 lbs.
Pros: Supports High-Definition multimedia interface (HDMI) and digital visual interface (DVI) digital video standard, which is somewhat more favorable than some similarly priced monitors. In fact, the typical cost of a product with a comparable set of digital video standard is $520. This monitor can eliminate the need to have PC speakers sitting on your desk -- just plug your PC's audio into the monitor and use the speaker that it has built in. Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: A flat panel monitor, suited for those who want a larger thin screen monitor. The 5 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.
Value: Given its relatively inexpensive price, this monitor has great features for the money. In fact, you would typically pay around 30% more to get a flat panel monitor having roughly the same viewable size.
Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation. (2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
