CES 2005: The Next Big Thing
NEC-Mitsubishi debuts
no-nonsense gaming LCDs

January 7, 2005; 12:30 p.m.
NEC-Mitsubishi MultiSync GX series
The product: When it comes to class, it's hard to top these monitors. Available in 17-inch (the MultiSync 1770GX) and 19-inch models (the MultiSync 1970GX), NEC-Mitsubishi's new GX monitors will give your desktop an instant makeover. These ultraslim displays are the first LCDs from this company to boast 8ms response times, so not only do they look good, they offer first-class performance as well. Both LCDs feature NEC-Mitsubishi's OptiClear DVM screen technology, which enhances the display's color saturation, brightness, and contrast. Other tech specs include:
  • A four-port USB 2.0 hub
  • 400cd/m2 brightness rating
  • 500:1 contrast ratio
The prospects: An official price has yet to be released for these new monitors, but we expect them to perform well among the barrage of other game-oriented LCDs that have been announced at CES. Check back soon for a review.
