Sharp, clear, wide range of brightness........2002-03-25

I looked at quite a few LCD monitors. None were as good as this. Every pixel works, the image is viewable from a very, very wide angle, and the bightness and contrast controls work over a very wide range, which was the most important feature for me. Most monitors provide bright displays, but none other could be dimmed as low as the NEC and still look great. I've found that bright displays and the UV light spectrum from LCD bulbs cause eye strain over time. The dimmer you can set a monitor and still see it well, the easier on your eyes over time it is. No other LCD monitor comes close to the NEC. Give your eyes a break, and buy this monitor! You will have to work with setting up your display: choosing larger display fonts, larger desktop icons, adjusting icon spacing and such to accomodate the 1280x1024 display, but it is well worth the time. This monitor grows on you. At first it seems kind of BIG. After a while, you can't imaging going back to those tiny 15" monitors. You'll love it.

Well, I read the disgruntled reviewer's comments about the terribly small text and horrible quality at 1024x768 resolution. First, flat panel monitors (every one that I have ever seen) do not perform very well when they are not set at their maximum (or native) resolution. This is a fact and it's not going to change anytime soon. There are ways to counteract the effects of the really small text if you are a windows user. You can right click on your background and select properties. Click on settings and then advanced. From this location, you can adjust your text size for menus and icons. So, don't let the other reviewer's comments scare you away from a fine monitor. The NEC is extremely bright (I had to set mine at 50% brightness because 100% was just insane) and text is easy to read. It's SO much better than my 19" Trinitron flat screen I can't believe it, and, it is almost the exact same size. BUY THIS MONITOR!!!

It was sort of surprising really........2002-02-23

I had a compaq 8000 18" panel already. While I was pretty much happy with the clarity of my old monitor it got a problem that after running two hours it would start to flake out and I got tried of compaq not being able to fix the thing. I decided to buy the nec 1700M+ due to reviews and everyone comparing their models to it, and even though I lost a diagonal inch over my compaq, I felt that the price and reputation it was getting warranted trying it.
In a nutshell, I immediantly carried the compaq to the landfill, this monitor rivals my CRTs (proview, nec and sony) and made me realize the compaq had no business on my desktop. This thing has beautiful color across the spectrum, great contrast and plenty of brightness. While I realize the technology is probably newer than the one I had, I never expected it to be this good. In fact I still look at it in amazement every time I sit down in front of it, the speed, the color the contrast...some day I may be able to stop staring at it long enough to actually get some work done.

Are you ready for your next "Wow" toy?.......2002-01-03

Okay, face it there will be a flat panel monitor in your future sooner or later, so you might consider accepting this pleasure sooner rather than later.

My wife and I have both been using higher end 17" CRT monitors for a couple of years. Hers was a Sony, mine is a NEC, both splendid, high rez CRT monitors.

I bought her this LCD monitor for Christmas. It really knocked her socks off. This thing is clean and crisp and incredible.

One hint here, Amazon ships this monitor in the original factory box which has pictures and lots of clearly identifying typography. If it's for a present, have it shipped someplace besides where the gift recipient lives! Luckily, I had to go to UPS to pick it up so my wife's surprize was not ruined.

After reading some of the other reviews, let me offer a couple of hints. Use this device at full rez. You may have to readjust some of your defaults such as Icon Size - make it the biggest available, because at full rez they will still be small. There may be lots of screen defaults you may have to adjust and that may be a real pain. Live with the pain, you'll be glad you did. If you try to treat this device like your good old 14" EGA monitor that you used on your 286, you will be disappointed. Give it the respect it deserves and use it like the superb hardware gem that it is. If it doesn't thrill you, you are doing something wrong! Run a hot video card or suffer the consequences. If you feed this beast right, it will reward you handsomely.

Keep in mind that this 17" LCD and a 17" CRT are apples and oranges. Aside from the obvious differences, the display size is different. The CRT useable area is usually about 16.1" diagonally while the LCD is 17.0" - really, check it out.

In many of the reviews for cheaper competing models I read comments like, "Just as good as the NEC 1700M+! There were a few dead pixels, but they were barely noticable." If you want to compromise, then compromise. If you don't want to compormise, go with this one.

NEC LCD Monitor is Really Good!.......2001-09-03

In early August 2001 I bought an NEC/Mitsubishi LCD 1700M+ from Amazon.com after a considerable amount of product and price comparison shopping. This display was to replace a CRT 17" display that had failed after years of good service. I expected that the new NEC monitor would be an adequate replacement, taking up much less space and drawing less power from my UPS, while not presenting too many of the problems I thought would be inherent in the LCD technology. In fact, NEC's LCD technology appears to be superior to my previous CRT in almost every way. The colors are more vivid, black is totally dark, the overall image is sharper and much, much brighter. There is no viewing-angle problem: the image at 70-80 degrees off axis is still as bright as my CRT used to be on-axis. This is a very good product.
Update after six months: I still think this is a great monitor, and would recommend it highly. My only complaint is that there is no jack for headphones to bypass the built-in stereo speakers. My old monitor had a jack, so I could listen to webcasts without bothering other folks.
Update after 4 1/2 years: The monitor is still as bright and clear as ever, even after years of service. I keep it powered 24/7, and actually in use over 40 hours per week.

Excellent Display Quality!.......2001-10-05

I have one of these sitting next to a ViewSonic 17" monitor, and this thing is so much brighter and sharper than the ViewSonic it is hard to believe. I used to think the display was sharp on the ViewSonic, but now this LCD just makes it look bad! If I could afford to replace all of my monitors with this one I would. I can comforably view 1280x1024 on this monitor, which is about the limit for my 21" monitor also. The display size is bigger than you would think for a typical 17" monitor.

NEC 17" LCD MONITOR MODEL LCD1700M+.......2001-10-04

Had very little trouble connecting the cables from the monitor
to the electric/computer outlets. A note on my screen told me to
punch auto for the screen to automatically adjust. That being done, I found that the normal resolution for this monitor is
1280x1024. The images on the screen were very, very small.
I had to change the resolution to 1024x768, for me to even
see the letters well. When I did that, I had the problem of
blurry images. The documentation on how to manually adjust

the monitor is very much lacking.....as a matter of fact,
after a couple of hours trying to figure out how to adjust
the monitor, I called the NEC toll free number and spoke to
a technician. He couldn't find the model number that I had in
his book and said he would call me back---he never did. I finally figured out how to manually change and adjust the
monitor---by adjusting the phase and the horizonal/vertical modes. The numbers and the letters are still a little fuzzy, so I decided to change the HZ from 60 HZ to 70 HZ. That helped a
little. The text is still a little fuzzy, but I can live with it.

A great monitor........2001-09-14

I simply have nothing bad to say about it. I have the same model in 15" and 17" on my desk. I use to love the 15" - but the higher resolution of the 17" now seems to make the 15" look a little course. Both of them have worked flawlessly.

Wonderful Monitor.......2007-01-10

This replaced a smaller NEC monitor and is everything I expected. Built in speakers aren't great but weren't as bad as other reviews led me to believe. Very adequate for most purposes and the screen is excellent. Nice looking silver and gray design instead of black or beige.

Great monitor, but uses power brick and DVI cable not included.......2006-04-09

The monitor is classy looking and is well built. Great with (and next to) a Macintosh. However, a few gripes: supplied cables don't match the monitor - black - and also of inexpensive, inflexible variety; a dvi cable is not included - this is ridiculously cheap and stupid; power supply is not built in - bad for a gorgeous monitor of this class.

A big step up from a 15" CRT.......2005-04-11

I bought this a few months ago, and was immediately impressed by the space savings on my desk. I agree with another reviewer that the speakers are weak. I got a DVI cord and a video card with DVI inputs, and found the differences distinctly better than the VGA.
On the side of the rebates, when I bought mine it had 2 rebates. The first one came through right on time after 6 weeks. The second took a phone call, then wait another 4 weeks for the check. I make a point of keeping copies of my rebates, and it paid off for me.
Is this the best 17" LCD, no, is it the worst, definately not. I feel this was a good value for the price after rebate. Add to it the shipping was fast.
One last point: the control buttons are quirky, and takes some time if you want to mess around with the settings.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS PIECE OF JUNK..............2005-03-24

Ok I have to addmit it did look kind of sexy on my desk before it broke. heres the story, I bought this screen a couple months ago the first week it was great but then the screen bacame dim and lifeless. It flickered on and off. My screen has now become completely dead. Ive tried everything I could to fix it i even hired a professional. There is also the fact that though it may look sturdy it actually has tipped over quite a few times for me. THINK BEFORE YOU BUY THIS JUNK! AND DONT BY IT.

Great Monitor but not rebate.......2005-02-24

This is an excellent monitor. I've been using it for over 3 months and I love it. Color and clarity are great. Played with computer game without ghost. There is no apparent difference between DVI and VGA although I'm using DVI right now and I had to purchase DVI cable separately.

Rebate sucks. I have filed twice and so far rebate claim is still not in their system. I'm not quite certain if I'm going to get the $90 rebate eventually. otherwise this is a pretty expensive monitor.

Think it over before you buy.

Good and worth the money.......2005-10-26

This monitor has the best value in the class of 1600 x 1200. The pixels are sharp. I have no complain when using photoshop. And it is very bright.

However, 25 ms is not fast enough. When I open the Performance tab of Task Manager (Windows) and drag around, I can see the ugly latency. Yes, this problem exists on all LCD, more or less. I just have to remind potential buyers anyway.

Some people suggest using DVI instead of VGA for better quality. I agree. I happen to lack the resource to buy such video card, and VGA plug works well enough for me. So if you don't have a DVI card, don't shy away from this monitor.

You can also rotate the monitor 90 degrees for portrait mode. It is great for viewing PDF or word doc (support from video card required). But you don't have to if you wish to use landscape mode.

Great monitor at a great price.......2005-08-14

We use this monitor where I work in a software engineering environment. We stare at these monitors up to ten hours a day looking at source code and other text based displays. This is one of the best monitors I've ever used regardless of price. When I saw the price for this monitor on Amazon, I bought one for my own use at home. At home I use the monitor for programming and for gaming. It's performance is excellent in both realms. I don't know if the color reproduction is photo quality, but it looks good to me and that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned.

Excellent monitor for the price.......2005-05-27

I purchased a 213T to replace a three-year-old 181T. The 181T is still working fine (though it has some slightly noticeable burn-in). The 181T has an incredibly sharp picture (I work with text all day and I'm very fussy about monitors). I was dubious that the 213T could deliver the same picture quality with a 3" larger screen and priced hundreds less than I paid for the 181T.

I was pleasantly surprised. The 213T's picture is perfect. No dead pixels, extremely sharp, and colors that look even better than the 181T. Don't believe the other reviews that caution against using this monitor in analog mode. There is a perceptible difference between the digital and analog mode, but the analog picture is still of outstanding quality. I used analog mode for about a week before replacing my graphics card with a dual-DVI Matrox P650, and I could have lived with it, but I wanted both monitors running in digital mode.

Two noticeable differences between the 213T and the 181T: the 213T comes out of standby a lot faster (about 2 seconds instead of 5), and the fluid is much slower on the 213T. If I take a window with a dark blue background and white text, and drag it around on the 213T, the text smears to blue. There is almost no change in the text color on the 181T. This might be an issue for some people, but it isn't an issue with the way I use the monitor.

WOW! Beautiful, functional at a good price.......2005-05-26

Gorgeous image, rotation for LONG viewing with included PivotPro software, color/brightness correction for various settings (office lightings, home lightings, etc.) with included Natural Color software. Comes with VGA and DVI cables. Very pleased.

Not quite perfect, but very good.......2005-05-19

As all of the other reviews are stellar, I had to add my own cautions.

First, I am generally very happy with this monitor and highly recommend it for most uses. I primarily use this for stock charting software and it is excellent for this. I also am supplying a natural 1600x1200 res signal from my IBM t42 laptop so I am giving it as high a quality signal as possible. And the difference between a 21" and 20" screen is VERY usable!

But there are some issues that some of you might want to note:
* Sharpness: While the 213T is a 1600x1200 res monitor, it is clearly not as crisp and detailed as my 15" laptop, also a native 1600x1200 screen. There is a loss of some detail and an overall softness that would probably make a CAD/CAM or photo-junky frustrated at times.
* Getting the colors right: No problem getting things bright, but getting the colors to come close to that on my laptop or my desktop has been impossible. Photos that I know well simply look far too different on the Samsung and no amount of fussing with the monitor or the supplied software has been able to resolve this. Again, if you are a graphics or photo person, you might find this an issue.

As for me, I am perfectly happy since I bought this primarily to have a second monitor attached to my laptop for dual screen use with stock charts. And frankly a bit of color shift and a bit of softness is completely overshadowed by the huge picture and amount of 'stuff' that I can have active on the screen. Consider your needs and useage. This may be the perfect monitor for you as well. And comparitively very affordable, too!
