NEC intros 17-, 19-, and 22-inch LCD monitors

All geared up to start your work week with a trio of hu hum NEC monitors? If so, we won't delay any longer in doling out the nitty-gritty. Up first is the 17-inch LCD174WXM, which features a 1,440 x 900 resolution panel, DVI / VGA (x2) inputs, twin one-watt speakers, a headphone jack, 250 nits of brightness and an 800:1 contrast ratio. As for the 19-inch LCD194WXM and 22-inch LCD224WXM, they each share a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 176-degree viewing angles. Still, the 19-incher gets stuck with a 1,440 x 900 resolution while the 22-inch sibling gets blessed with 1,680 x 1,050. Per usual, there's no word on prices just yet, but considering the lack of excitement these are bringing, we doubt too many folks will mind.

A sign of the times - when this technology is considered Ho-Hum

Just a while ago, Geeks would have been ooohing and ahwwing over this.

What will it take? What will it take??

Honestly... the 19" got "stuck with?" How close to the thing are you sitting, Engadget!?

1,440 x 900 and 1,680 x 1,050 is a pretty substantial difference.
By my (maybe wrong) calculation thats 36000 pixels of real estate.

Myself, I'm seeing more like 468,000 pixels difference (but I could be off as well). Personally, I'd be much more interested in seeing some new offerings in the 24" size. My FHD2400 is so close to perfect, but not quite there.

Why are people still making 17" LCDs? I have a 20" widescreen and I couldn't imagine less.

Yeah, I got horny when I read "176-degree viewing angles". Is it 8-bit, is the question. Well, I would have splooged if it said 178 degree viewing angles. It's so lame SIPS screens are so pricey now. The cheapest you can get are Apple's Cinema Displays, and those are too pricey for me.
