NEC's new AccuSync LCDs do HDMI

NEC has three new LCDs ready for market, the 19-inch LCD19WMGX, 22-inch LCD22WMGX, and 24-inch LCD24WMCX. There's HDCP and HDMI across the board, with 1680 x 1050 pixels on the 22-inch and 1080p resolution on the 24-incher, along with DVI plugs for boring old desktop work. Each of the new AccuSyncs runs with a 5ms response time, and there's a 1,000:1 contrast ratio on the 1440 x 900 19-inch, while the bigger two do 2,000:1. Prices are at $280 and $380 for the small ones, which are available now, while 24-inch will hit later this month for $550.

According to NEC's web site, these are all 1000:1 contrast ratios, which is what I would expect (unless they're glossy screen monitors). NEC has a good reputation for monitors, and that 24 incher looks sweet: 5ms response time, 178 degree viewing angles, 24-bit (16.7 million colors), DVI and HDMI, plus built in speakers to boot. I'm looking forward to seeing some reviews!

thats a pretty good price for a 24 incher

[RobJ @ Sep 11th 2007 2:34PM]

It's $100 cheaper than the Dell 2407WFP-HC! Of course, the Dell has a media card reader and height adjustable stand (neither of which I see listed for the NEC), but I could probably live without those features if the image quality is on par.

I just bought a 2407WFP-HC for $550 from Dell.com It has HDCP compliant DVI-D which is uh... a different shape HDMI. I then paid almost 5 bucks for a DVI-D to HDMI connection cable and run it to a HDMI switch for my macbook, 720p cable box, 1080p PS3.

It's a beautiful thing.

That's unless you live in the UK where instead of selling it at the equivalent price of £275 ($2=£1), they'll be seeling it nearer £500!

Wow! 550 for a 24 incher is cheap...Are these monitors anygood?

Anyone know what panel type the 24 incher uses?

Hopefully PVA

It has the viewing angle of an S-IPS panel, but I honestly can't see a 24" S-IPS pannel selling for that cheap.

pyro, viewing angle is not relevant anymore. Manufacturers will say anything. Something more telling is contrast ratio and price. They will most surely be VA panels, probably PVA. NEC's S-IPS monitors are far more expensive.

I have been using the MuiltiSync LCD1760V for almost 5 years, it was the first flat panel monitor I ever owned, and has never had a dead pixel to this day. The contrast is still set at 60% and the brightness is set at 44%, and this is after running for almost 10 hours a day. If the AccuSync models are anything like the one I have now, you should be expecting one of the 24" to be sitting in my office shortly.

Where can you get these at??
