I just picked one of these up and DAMN! This is by FAR the best LCD monitor I've seen (and I've seen a LOT of 'em)....I paid just over a $1000 for it (new)....would HIGHLY recommend it...I've seen other NEC LCD's and they all are pretty impressive but this one really blew my socks off! Like Bit said, you can not beat a DVI connection....

Another thing is that this monitor is rated at 350:1 in Contrast Ratio (with a 250 cd/m^2 brightness) and I have another LCD (Cornea) that is a 500:1 and I've logged in some hours on a Viewsonic that is 600:1 and this NEC looks BRIGHTER than either one....

The picture quality, the speed, the speed of the auto-adjust and dual DVI connection (also has a VGA connection and a DVI to VGA cable...all included) and the fact that it also pivots make this definitely a best buy in my book...plus this monitor meets ISO13406-2 specs....plus, much like the women I like, the bezel on the NEC is THIN....

And of course, it does a native 1600x1200....I'm spoiled, I can't surf on anything less!

Here's a link to the specs...

another place to dish out some Bit-lovin'

dual monitors my friend.

Congrats on the new monitor Bit, and I agree-DVI is the way to go.

I have a SMALL desk - so now ya see why getting rid of that huge bulky 19" CRT was important!

Congrats Bit, nice looking monitor! DVI is definitely the way to go... I upgraded my 17" Samsung LCD a few months ago to a 19" ViewSonic w/ DVI (and added a matching 15" for dual monitor surfing ) and love it. Seems like a nice improvement in clarity.

My current video card only has a single DVI out (second monitor runs of normal vga cable), I'll look for a dual DVI out on my next PC or video card upgrade.

Are kdx 17" LCD's any good?
Thanks
