NEC Intros 17" MultiSync LCD175M LCD Monitor For $179
NEC's most recent announcement (before this one, obviously) was focused on USB 3.0. This one, however, has absolutely nothing to do with speedy transfers. NEC Display Solutions is launching an all-new monitor today for those growing tired of looking at the same pixels day after day.
The 17" MultiSync LCD175M features an EPEAT Gold rating, Energy Star 5.0 logo and plenty of eco-friendly amenities. In fact, the ECO Mode allows users to maneuver between two energy-savings modes and enables the calculation of power consumption savings for the monitor’s carbon footprint meter. Specs are pretty average for a monitor such as this, and it won't do you much good if you're looking for a new screen to watch Blu-ray films on. It'll ship later this month for $179.
A partial list of the LCD175M features are:
- 1000:1 contrast ratio
