NEC LCD24WMGX3 Professional Gaming 24" Widescreen

DeathStorm · 9 Sep 2008 at 01:25

Just noticed this one on the news, are there any reviews or anyone with first hand experience yet?

I've been waiting for something like this to come along, if it lives up to its claims it should be perfect even if costly, been reluctant to go for the 2408 due to input lag and the Hazro seems just a tad buggy.

So details anyone?

Hi there

If it can follow on the trend of the 20" GX2 this will be the best all round 24" monitor on the market.

Don't say that when I just ordered a HP !

It says on the spec sheet that the panel's MVA, was assuming it'd be S-IPS. I had the 20" GX2 version and it was a very very nice monitor, great customer service as well.

Ouch - that's damn expensive for an MVA panel.

Hi there

Thats the pricing from NEC and they refuse to move, their argument is it will be one of the best if not the best 24" on the market and they have enough demand to sell all the stock they have in production this side of Christmas.

My view is if this monitor is as good as the GX2 was and is then its well worth the money because the NEC 20" GX2 was leagues ahead of every other 20/22" monitor on the market.

£700.. :/

Would have to be the good side of £300 for me to get one, considering you can get other good 24'' widescreens with HDMI etc for around that.

there was me thinking the Harzo 26" was pricey and worth it , ill wait fro some reviews between this and the Harzo 24" , otherwise ill get some sort of S-PVA 24"

mrk · 9 Sep 2008 at 12:29

Hmm seems more like a gaming/multimedia/game console orientated screen instead of desktop usage so am glad about going with the HP thus far! and that price....yeeesh!

Clok · 9 Sep 2008 at 12:30

this better have a very low lag at that price

p0rks0da · 9 Sep 2008 at 12:40

That price is just plain stupid.

gt_junkie · 9 Sep 2008 at 12:59

When you can get a 30" Hazro for £150 more i know which i'd be choosing.

I'd imagine 400-500 would be an acceptab;e price for it.

Also, a tad dissapointed it's not S-IPS.

Wonder when Baddass'll be takling a look at it - i'm interested in seeing how much better it is than the competition.

I assume from the price that it will be around twice as good!

It is a thing of beauty compared to the HP LP2475w Big Foot.

Arcane · 9 Sep 2008 at 13:40

If it's as good as the GX2 then I'd be tempted, but not at that price....

Matter of opinion, looks a bit shiny bling gamer styling to me, the HP at least looks professional. Obviously, it's all opinion though...

Hi there

I have sent the link to this thread to NEC to show how upset you all are in regard to the price point.

Lets hope they decide to listen and adjust the price point before it launches.....

SH4RKY · 9 Sep 2008 at 15:17

Looks slick, but at that price its set to FAIL.

Happy · 9 Sep 2008 at 15:21

^^ Good work.

I would consider it around the £550 point... if it is as good as the GX2 as mentioned above.

I remember when bought my 2080UXW+ and was an astronomical price compared to other 20"'s. (Bought my Dell 3008WFP for less) At the time though was the only one I could game on properly and was worth every penny.

NEC always been pricey
