The good: Produces excellent color quality; pivots between landscape and portrait mode.
The bad: Megaexpensive; lacks pivoting software; height not adjustable.
The bottom line: Though the NEC MultiSync LCD2180WGLED features new LED backlight technology, we're unconvinced it's worth $6,700. Most professional users will be better served by other, less expensive LCDs.

$6,500 and it still doesn't beat a good CRT
by Sam Fry on April 22, 2006
Pros: Best LCD monitor available today
Cons: Still cannot meet or exceed a quality CRT display costing 13 times less

Summary: I bought this monitor several weeks ago and I will say that it is definitely a great monitor. However, looking back on it I can now say I cannot believe I spent this much money on it. I was always a believer in CRT over LCD (I do a lot of image and film editing work). I used a Diamondtron monitor for the past 6 years. I added a new computer to my workspace, and I decided to get this new über NEC monitor.
After I set it up and calibrated it, I found that I still preferred the Diamondtron picture to the NEC picture! Even after running the calibration on the Diamondtron, I still liked the Diamondtron picture better. I am sure that the NEC monitor is doing it's thing and covering more than the Adobe gamut, but it still just doesn't win over my preference.
I am basically now of the opinion that the goal of LCD manufacturers is to make their pictures as close to CRT displays (like the Diamondtron) as possible. And right now, I spent $6,500 to get something that comes CLOSER than pretty much any other LCD out there, but still just doesn't match or exceed it. In short, I flushed around $6,000 down the toilet... I could have gotten a new Diamondtron display instead for around $400 - $500 and spent the rest of the money on a new camera.
+10 for the LCD monitor, -9 for not being able to produce a picture that exceeds CRT monitors costing (literally) 12 to 13 times less.

innovative design to bring color rendition closer to CRT monitors

Summary: I have been waiting for non CRT displays to have color rendition for film editing, and now I see a new product that is getting close. The price is still too high, the best CRT photo-editing displays are in the $1800 range. I have to admit it's not a display for the avarage user though. It seems that CNET's reviewer is not vey tech savy, judging by the poorly detailed review, see http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/10/28/a_revolution/ for a much better review.
