Here's an odd question for you igors! Does that screen coating make the thing any more resistant to scratches or fingerprints? I have a niece and nephews who like to point and touch the screen, ya see :)

It's not odd at all. Screen is simply "hardened" with this coating, so related to your question ... yes it may help there. Unfortunately, I'm really not so keen to test this for you. :D

i really like this monitor and i plan to keep it for at least 2 years

but the lack of HDCP really puts me off

do you think HDCP will be mandatory in 2 years time?

HDCP will be an ingrained feature of future motherboards. don't worry about having it on your monitor. :)
 
Hi Guys,

I managed to capture some top/bottom viewing angles of the monitor. As Baddass spotted on, it may be usefull for the review also. Until he publish them live, maybe some of you would like to view them in full size. Personally, I didn't take the camera shots of those viewing angles as I thought who the heck is locking at the monitor from those angles anyway :)

Here they are:

Anyway going to wait till more peeps have this screen and the viewsonic before making a decision. But i was wondering if you could tell me how high the screen is off the desk??

Cool just placed my oder, thanks for the reviews I'll give it a spin on my 360 and let you know how it is.

new pc, new monitor and to many cool games coming out, march is hitting my funds big style :(
 
Gibbo, the description on the OCUK website states that this monitor has a height adjustable stand but I was under the impression that it doesn't. The same is true for the Viewsonic VX2025wm which only has tilt (at least according to Viewsonic). Can someone please confirm this?

NEC doesn't support the height adjustment (but tilt is supported) and speakers are not included. Just verified the OCUK website. They should update the spec in order to clear the confusion.
 
Ok, today I received an answer to my email to NEC, about their dead pixel guarantee. I quote:

"Hello Sir,

you can find the Information you need under the link.

Kind Regards

[edited out the rest to avoid looking like a n00b ;)]

Ok, apparently ISO 13406-2 means 13406 Class II. With that cleared up, it looks like this panel would have to have 3 dead pixels or 9 dead sub-pixels to qualify for a return.

Sorry Igor, I assume thats to the top of the screen was wondering about from the desk to the bottom of the screen?
Click to expand...
Take 2:

Distance from the desk to the bottom edge of the screen: 9.5cm.

** EDIT ***

As "tilting" is supported, I suppose that this is probably expandable to some extent.

Guys, it's very difficult for me to comment the glossy screen on your behalf. It's really personal. I think that picture improvements are simply worth it ... and isn't that really more important - improved picture.

Sitting in front of a CRT at the moment, and it occured to me to ask, is it more or less reflective than a glass-fronted CRT?

It's between this and the Philips, and I'm sold on the NEC's gaming performance, but people are saying it's not so great for movies. I know you've commented on the twinkling already, but I'm just being really careful before I spend £400 ;)

Would be nice if someone could directly compare the NEC with the Philips, but who has the money to buy them both? :D
