Well, NEC was willing to swap it out for a brand new unit with no shipping charges for the first 30 days from date of purchase. However, I prefer to swap with the merchant, since they offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Since I haven't really seen the display perform, I don't want to...

Sh_t happens. I received a NEC LCD2190UXi-BK yesterday. I hooked it up today and the DVI-D input was not working. It will be on its way back to the merchant next week and I will try another one. My past experience with 21" CRTs often saw one or two exchanges before getting a unit with...

Speaking of Trinitron. I have ordered a NEC 2190UXi to retire my Sony GDM-F520. Primary reasons: (1) The CRT is on its way out (flickering and warm up problems) and out of warrantee. (2) After a heart attack and other surgery I can no longer carry these 85LB beasts up and down stairs...

Suppose you just got a new LCD. Is there a standard self test suite you can step through in order to evaluate the monitor and make sure things are working right and you are happy with it? Thanks.

Yep, I followed it from NEC global to USA LCD product list. It's funny, since www.necdisplay.com still has the 90 series press release on the home page despite it now being in the product list anymore. Maybe I will call up their customer service and ask this week. --- I finally...

Does anyone know what happened to the NEC 2190UX. That was the LCD which I decided to wait for as the vendors hadn't received it yet. Also, I noticed that the 2090UX has dissappeared from the product line. I just went to NEC's US LCD site and it is no longer in the product list. Did they...

Xtnight, Thanks for the response. So, the larger dot pitch on the 21.3" displays means what when viewing it? The image will look grainy? How much more screen viewing area does the extra 1.3" add? In looking at the specs between 2090UXi and the 2190UXi, it seems that by stepping down...

Xtnight, The NEC LCD2180UX and NEC LCD2190UXi are both 21.3" displays. However, I don't see what the difference is between them other than the latter is more expensive and not widely available. Will the response time of 20ms for the LCD2180UX be adequate for the type of games which I...

*** Background *** I have been thinking about replacing my 20" CRT with a 21" LCD. I could use some help with this as I don't have much experience with LCDs. *** Usage *** I use my display for both work and games. Work: Computer programming (mainly text), document writing, and...
