!±8± NEC AccuSync 70M 17" Multimedia Monitor (PC/Mac)
For a 17-inch display, the NEC AccuSync 70M is a stout little performer. While we were a little put off by the weak refresh rates at high resolutions, we found the AccuSync to be an inexpensive and capable for any small or home office.
At the recommended resolution of 1,024 x 768, the AccuSync 70M boasts a solid refresh rate of 87 Hz, making it easy on the eyes, and its modest dimensions conserve valuable desk space. At higher resolutions, the AccuSync 70's biggest flaw is apparent--weak refresh rates. Topping out at a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 at 66 Hz, screen flicker is apparent and irritating. This definitely isn't the monitor for power users. However, for small or home offices, the AccuSync handles business apps, Internet browsing, and day-to-day use just fine.
The 70M offers a complete multimedia experience, thanks to the built-in audio amplifier and stereo speakers. While not necessarily the best monitor on the block, the NEC AccuSync 70M is a good price-to-performance option for those on a budget. --Dan Simpson
