Pros: A fast, bright, matte-finish panel, with excellent whites and blacks, very good saturation and contrast, and decent (though not perfect) color gamut. Provides excellent connection options, including a physical button to switch between sources and intelligent scaling for all inputs. The built-in speakers have a limited frequency response, but are adequate for listening to TV dialog or system beeps. Audio inputs and outputs are provided for routing sound to external speakers, including a digital S/PDIF output. Control buttons are front and center, clearly labeled, and easy to use. The power LED, while blue, is not overbearing and toggles to a faint amber on stand-by. Cables provided include DVI, VGA, and analog audio.

Cons: This is a 6-bit TN type panel, which has a fast response time but suffers from the inherent limitations of the technology, namely limited color gamut and narrow viewing angle. The viewing angle is listed online as 178 degrees, but that's measured with a lenient reference of CR>5. A standard reference of CR>10 results in a realistic viewing angle of 160 degrees, which is listed correctly in the manual. The colors are decent with good saturation, although some banding can be seen in smooth gradients. The stand is adequate, but only offers tilt adjustment, not height.

Overall Review: The selling points for me were the matte finish (I've tried to tolerate glossy displays with no success), the wide variety of connection options with intelligent scaling (and physical source button, as opposed to navigating a menu), and the fact that only one reviewer so far has mentioned receiving dead pixels (I REALLY didn't want any dead pixels, and was willing to pay a premium for the better odds and a brand name with 3 year warranty and excellent customer support). Driven by HD source, this panel looks absolutely incredible. You do have to view it from a sweet spot, but what a sweet spot! HDTV, Blu-ray, and PC games look fantastic at WUXGA resolution, and the resulting pixel pitch at 24" is perfect for displaying text at a comfortable size. The picture is bright and vibrant with excellent whites and blacks, and can be adjusted to suit a huge range of viewing environments. Unless you've been spoiled by professional PVA/IPS panels, this LCD's image won't disappoint. While there a

Pros: Lots of inputs 1:1 pixel mapping allows a you to display 1080p and not suffer from stretch images Also allows scaling of images to fit screen while keeping aspect ratio These are the only reasons why it even has 2 eggs. Nice looking panel Tech support is helpful and trained. Best experience I've had when dealing with multiple techs over multiple sessions.

Cons: All eggs were lost because it has the worst color gradients I've seen on a monitor. I've had really REALLY cheap no-name brand monitors that reproduced colors better than this. I've seen better gradients on 16bit monitors. At least they dither the image. I'm not the only person who thinks so http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/nec_24wmcx

Overall Review: If you care at ALL about games looking good or movies or really anything looking good, don't get this monitor. If you just want a CHEAP solution so you can hook you PS3 up to your computer monitor, then it's an ok monitor. Settings are a hassle. Input switching is SLOW and a hassle. If you connect 2 computers, 1 D-Sub (a.k.a. VGA) and 1 DVI, you have to go through menus to get to the DVI, it defaults to D-Sub and the source button just cycles between PC-mode (DVI or VGA), component and HDMI. HDMI input is fuzzy. I did not put this in the con section because it may be that mine has a bad HDMI port. The red signal is also not aligned properly.

Pros: 3 year warranty

Cons: I bought three of these for my office a year ago. After just a few weeks, one started having problems with colored lines jumping and wiggling all over the screen. Had to ship it in for replacement. Now, a second one has started having problems where the screen will flicker and jump, changing colors, turning red, and shimmering. I'll have to send it in too.

Overall Review: Not impressed with the reliability, but the 3-year warranty is good.

Pros: I've bought two of these monitors and have had them for over a half year now and couldn't be happier. Black levels are good for movies and video games and color levels in my experience have been good for Photoshop and Illustrator. Thanks to the high resolution I am able to open up 9 terminals or text editors on one screen easily so it's really nice for programming too. Aesthetically it's a really nice looking monitor. All black except for some writing, but it still really looks nice.

Cons: Three problems but nothing serious. One of the two monitors has a stuck red pixel. I put the monitor on as the secondary monitor and because it's near the lower right corner I hardly ever notice it. It would have been worse if that was my main monitor as it easily showed up when I was watching a movie but I can't really take off an egg for that because it doesn't bother me. This is a problem with LCD monitors and you take the risk with any of them. Secondly, I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to my monitor and unlike my old monitor which I just had to quickly press a button to change the input, I have to use the OSD to change. While not a major inconvenience and I've gotten used to it. And finally, the height adjustment... there is none. I have them on a stand that raises them 6 inches above my keyboard. Depending on your setup you may have to do the same. Just be prepared that you may have to do something about it.

Overall Review: Overall, I'd recommend this monitor. I can't tell you how much being able to open multiple text editors and a few terminals and have them all show up without overlap has been. It's definitely a plus. Even for the non-programmers it's nice for writing reports and using photoshop and illustrator on a nice large screen is always a plus.

Pros: I've now ordered about 15 of these monitors for my office - no complaints from anyone. Nice size, good picture, ample inputs. Out of the entire batch of monitors, only 1 dead pixel *total*.

Cons: Nothing at all against this particular monitor, but in this price range you should know that you're not finding a monitor with true color representation. Thus I can't recommend this monitor for designers. The casing isn't as sexy as some other monitors in this range like the Samsungs.

Overall Review: I'll continue to make this my standard office monitor purchase.

Pros: Some great features: 1. doesn't run hot 2. no dead pixels 3. no ghosting/image tearing 4. excellent range of menu options 5. includes vga and dmi cables 6. price

Cons: 1. stand has no height adjustments 2. no hdmi cable include

Overall Review: >Cons: Now I have to figure out what to do with the hundreds of dollars I saved buying this monitor.. hmm.lifes tough. Send it my way. Problem solved.

Pros: The size is such a great asset when working that I would find it hard to go back. I do a lot of coding, so I hook this up to my macbook - and VIM never looked better =P. I don't use this monitor for any seriously graphics-intensive purposes, but everything I've seen is great. Great contrast/brightness/color balance after tweaking.

Cons: Small viewing angle, but I don't personally care about that - it's more than sufficient for my purposes. Included stand is a bit more flimsy than I would prefer, but definitely use-able.

Overall Review: Get a computer with a good graphics card if you want to drive this display and do some serious visual work - my computer's integrated graphics sputters when using complex screensavers (but is fine for movies, I assume because of built-in H.264 help).

Pros: Bright. Very bright. The first thing you'll do is turn it down. No dead pixels. Lightweight. Versatile array of inputs. Color at defaults is very good. No backlight leakage. Great black level. Big, but not *too* big.

Cons: The claims of viewing angle are preposterous. It's good, but more like 30 degrees before serious alteration in the image occurs. The stand is a little flimsy -- it can rock back and forth when someone walks by. The on-screen mode change display is *incredibly* annoying and can't be turned off or shortened. Adjustments, especially of color, are extraordinarily difficult to make with the clumusy OSD menu structure. They are very complex and there's a great deal of interaction. USB connected driver software with a decent user interface on the computer would be a huge improvement. The horrible menu is largely responsible for the four star rating. It's so bad that simply changing brightness and contrast is a chore.

Overall Review: I wonder why they bother putting speakers into something like this. They're useless and it's a waste of money. I'd rather pay $20 less for it. There's no "hum" coming from mine; it's dead silent. I retired a 10 year old massively heavy NEC 1350FP CRT and appreciate the light weight and far lower power consumption of this monitor. It's also nice not to hear that degaussing 'bang' when the power goes on.
