Damn this monitor is sweet
« on: May 27, 2006, 11:00:55 AM »
Just picked up two of these. One for me and one for the missus. Awsome image quality!

Its the Nec MultiSync 2090UXi

Its a 20" LCD. Not widescreen, but the plan was for me to use them both side by side, but the missus has already grabbed one of them.

-edit- this is from the american nec site : http://www.necdisplay.com/products/ProductDetail.cfm?Product=455

You probably weren't going to use it for movies or games, but just in case you missed it, Matrox has a simple gadget that spreads a single card's output over three monitors.

Ive seen that gadget. Have not decided what to do about replacing the office computer, but if the one i get does not have dual DVI then maybe Its for me.

No, im not going to use it for games (alteast officialy :D ), but the reviews says that its almost perfect for that too although you do need a hefty card to run games in 1600x1200.

Im going to use it for financial software, webcam, email, photos, websurfing.. all at the same time. Im tired of opening and closing a ton of windows all the time. To get all the stuff i want up then 2 monitors are a minimum and 3 would be best. There is a limit to what my yearly IT budget can get me.

Isn't a 16ms response time bad for games like Aces High that need a faster response?  The best gaming ones out there seem to have a response time less than 8ms.

Like this one with 2ms: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx922/index.htm

or this one with 6ms: http://www.benq.com/products/LCD/?product=593&page=specifications

16ms is fine if you are not planning to do much "twitch" gaming...

Theoretical times that does not really matter Terror. In test it has been great for gaming. No ghosting on this one. You have to remember that alot of monitors use wierd and misleading ways to arrive at their response times. A good and correctly measured 16 ms can be much better than a 2ms. More things to a great monitor than ms times too. This LCD got a perfect 10 in all categories in a test here. No minitor has ever gotten that at that site before.
