Wonderful on my G4 PowerMac!

No problems with this LCD monitor at all. It's my first LCD flat panel, so I haven't got much to compare it with, but I must say, I am pleased. Excellent contrast, bright screen, works well with both my 2 year old G4 PowerMac (in OS 9 and OS X) and my 3 year old Windows 98 PC. I had no problems getting it set up or working with either system.
Of course, it is a transition from a traditional CRT monitor-there is a set "native resolution" that the monitor looks best in (1280 x 1024). Of course you can use other resolutions, but they are not quite as nice. Since I was planning on setting it at 1280 x 1024, this is a non-issue for me. (All LCD monitors have a set "native resolution".) And, color calibration is ... "different" than it is with a CRT. Also, the colors get a little skewed when I look at the screen from an angle. (In this monitor's case, there is a pretty good viewing range, so I have no complaints.) I hasten to add, these are issues with all flat panels, so it comes with the territory! All-in-all, minor issues for me.
I am very pleased with this monitor, and hope to get another just like it soon.

The LCD1700V monitor has rich colors and a bright screen. It is an excellent buy...The only problem I'm now facing is that I'm running Windows with a 2 monitor setup. In comparison, my professional Viewsonic CRT monitor looks pale and I see myself often turning it off and working only with the NEC LCD monitor. I guess sooner or later I'll have to buy another LCD monitor :)

This review is a response to the review by "Borislav Kolev" from Texas.
The recommended rate for Vertical Refresh is simply a reference to how the LCD panel circuitry will handle the analog to digital conversion that is inherent in an LCD panel.An LCD panel does not actually "refresh" the screen in the same manner that a cathode ray tube does (e.g., television or standard computer monitor) and you can see this when you view the monitor through a video camera (have you ever noticed the flicker you see on television sets in the background of a newscast? That's the phenomenon of refresh rate (in Hertz) being out of "sync" with the video camera).Hence, our friend from Texas or anyone else with extreme sensitivity to common computer monitors (myself included) should experience NO sensitivity to an LCD panel that is using 60Hz vertical refresh. I suggest the reviewer give 60Hz a chance before returning the unit.
