NEC 1530V 15'' LCD Monitor (White)

Amazon.com Review
If your desktop is prime real estate but your work is graphics intensive, the NEC/Mitsubishi 1530V's tiny footprint, rich color, and bright picture provide a solution to both issues. The 200:1 high-contrast display with 1,024 x 768 resolution and 0.3-millimeter dot pitch combine to produce beautiful images, all from a very compact package.

Weighing only 10.4 pounds and sporting a screen that's less than 3 inches thick, the monitor is so thin and light that, taking it out of the box, we had an instinctive reaction of "this can't be high quality--it's too light!" However, we soon changed our mind. Setup was a snap, and the No-Touch Auto Adjusting technology adjusted many display settings for us from the very first use to efficiently use every pixel of space on the screen. Having tested many monitors before, we're wary of automatic setup functions, as they often don't work as well as promised. But the first time we turned on the 1530V, it had ideal settings for our test PC.

In our tests, the 1530V's 1,024 x 768 resolution, 0.3-millimeter dot pitch, and a 200:1 contrast ratio provided remarkably crisp images. (Although you can use the monitor at a 640 x 480 resolution, 1,024 x 768 is optimal and recommended.) Text that was small and light against a dark background did suffer from slight shadowing, but the effect was negligible. The color was astounding: rich, fully saturated hues across the rainbow, producing vibrant greens and warm skin tones. The monitor handled graphics-intensive applications with ease: we loaded test images into Photoshop, watched streaming media videos, and tested animation programs. We never caught a single flicker. And when we ran a program that would benefit from reducing the contrast, the onscreen controls were readily accessible and completely intuitive. Also, the monitor's base, which is just over 6 inches deep by 10 inches wide, kept the monitor stable even when the screen was tilted to extreme angles.

Meeting VESA standards, the 1530V is wall and arm mountable for commercial use, and the power and PC cords plug in beneath a removable casing, keeping your desktop (or wall space) tidy. The 1530V is compatible with PCs and Macs as well as Sun, Silicon Graphics, and other workstations and X-terminals. The three-year warranty includes parts (even the backlight) and labor. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Still an excellent product 4 years later!.......2005-09-16

I purchased my white NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V flat-screen monitor for $500 at Curcuit City in mid-2001 when first entering college, before flat-screens became du rigeur.

Now, four years later, it is still running strong and still has the same clarity and crisp quality to its graphics that it did when I had first hooked it up to my eMachines computer yea many moons ago. Attached to my "new" Compaq Presario 6000, it gives me as fine performance as it did from the start.

Because it's such a lightweight, it hardly took up any space at all on my old tiny desk, and now leaves me with an abundance of room to work with on my more recent "artist table".

It's also ridiculously easy to move around, so I'm not encumbered by bulk when redesigning my room or in the event that I have to move to another apartment. The ideal 1024x768 screen resolution gives me plenty of detail when working with large graphics for my websites, and remains finally detailed down to a 5pt font.

I have taken good care of my NEC flat monitor, and it has served me well. I would recommend this fine durable piece of equipment to any web designer or graphics artist.

Best monitor I've ever owned........2002-08-14

I endlessly researched LCD computer monitors before I purchased this and the research paid off... big time. My friends and family are amazed at the sleakness (I ordered the black version) and the picture quality of this monitor. Additionally, believe it or not, this monitor appreciated from the time I purchased it on AMZN, imagine that! It's expecially great in a dorm/apartment setting.

It's time for an LCD monitor!.......2002-03-13

The time has arrived for LCD monitors. The price is now right and the quality is definitely up there. I have been quite pleased with this monitor. I carefully compared it with others in the store and was impressed by the sharpness of display and the vivid colors. When I got it home I was delighted with the DVD experience this monitor provides - quite a bit like 3D! Of course, like all LCDs, this one is amazingly lightweight and it takes up such a small amount of desk space. Over the next couple of years I expect LCDs to largely supplant CRTs in the home. I give this product four stars, reserving five stars for the much more expensive units.

An Excellent 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor.......2002-02-17

After my old 15" CRT monitor went dead, and after reading all the reviews from this website, I was convinced to go out and get a LCD flat panel monitor. I did some serious research to find out which monitor was better between this one and the Envision 15" LCD monitor. So I went out and got the NEC MultiSync LCD 1530v. I was very impressed on how quick and easy it was to set it up. The "auto adjust" feature tuned in my monitor correctly the first time. My wife and I have played many video games with this monitor without any problems! When playing a DVD, the picture is crisp and clear with no signs of distortion. The colors on this monitor are absolutely amazing! My wife who uses the computer as much as I do also gives this monitor 5 stars for the reason that it does not hurt her eyes. For those of you whose eyes have low tolerance to glare, you don't have to worry about that. The monitor works best at a resolution of 1024x768. My system is an AMD K6-2 550MHz processor, Windows XP operating system, and ATI Radeon 7200 video card. I've had this monitor for 3 months now. I must say that it was the BEST purchase I've made!

If you're looking for an LCD flat panel monitor and can't afford to spend much money, then this monitor is for you. The viewing size of this monitor is 15.1", the same size of a 17" CRT monitor. With all the features and advantages that comes with this monitor, it's worth the spending. So go out and get one while they're hot! I give this LCD monitor my highest recommendations!
