NEC Multisync LCD1550V
The NEC is one of the few displays priced under $1000. It looks quite heavy because it has quite a thick panel, but to our surprise the NEC is the third lightest display-and that includes the built-in power supply.
The base is very small. In order to tilt the screen up and down, you need to hold down the base, because otherwise the display will tip over. It can be wall mounted, but the mounting bracket is sold separately.
The image quality of the display was average. The display struggled to display dark tones properly and we noticed some minor vertical distortions as well. Text also appeared a little washed out. Fortunately, there were no problems displaying fine lines. We say fortunately because if there are problems they can only be fixed with a clock adjustment, and the NEC doesn't have one.
