| It doesn't get any better than this - this 15" is the best that the industry has to offer. Period. The price is going up well before December/03 due to the competition with 15" TV's, where the profit is so much better at a retail price of $700+ on a 15" TV. As of 12/20 I paid $382 plus $30 to get this 15" LCD monitor to me by Christmas Eve. As it stands before me, I can tell you that it's well worth it. My NEC 1560M-BK has no - I repeat - NO DEAD PIXELS - when other manufacturers are willing to let you suffer through up to 8 dead pixels. Even one dead pixel - particularly dead center on your screen - is enough to drive you nuts. A knat on your nose. The "word" is that 15" LCD screens are at a premium right now, there are several manufacturers invested in new facilities that will be coming online in the summer of 2004. The price, at that time, will start to drop like a rock as there will actually be excess capacity. But that's the nature of computers, is it not? You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. Can you wait? So get youself one of these NEC LCD1560M-BK's, you'll be happy. But just try to find one. Rottsa Ruck. To repeat: 1) This is very best 15" monitor that you'll find. Seriously and Period. No dead pixels. Bright. Contrasty (you'll actually have to tone it down from its presets, if you turn 180 degrees away from it you'll actually see your skeleton projected on the wall behind you). 2) You'll not find it. 3) It's better than nearly all 17" LCD monitors. Beware of any manufacturer's LCD specifications, they tend to, ahem, lie. Do your research, third party opinions might be the best. PCWorld might be a good place to start. They don't care for what's-his-name anyway. 4) You'll not find it. And best wishes to you all this eve of Christmas - Happy Holidays! | .jpg)
