NEC Introduces Three New MultiSync LCDs

Continuing the market trend toward ever larger and cheaper LCD displays, NEC announced three new big-screen desktop monitors on Thursday, all of which cost under $400. The MultiSync 5 line will now include a new standard-aspect 19-inch monitor, the LCD195NXM, plus widescreen 20- and 22-inch models with the LCD205WNXM and 22-inch LCD225WNXM, respectively.

Like many of NEC’s higher end monitors, the new MultiSyncs will include four-way adjustable stands, four-port USB hubs, down-firing speakers and optional touch-integration. NEC also claims their NaViSet graphical user interface makes adjusting monitor settings intuitive. Response times of 5ms should make the monitors suitable even for motion-intense applications like gaming or watching movies.

The LCD195NXM will be the first to hit store shelves in late November, with an estimated price tag of $299.99. The LCD205WNXM and LCD225WNXM models will follow in December at $364.99 and $389.99, respectively. Both will only come in black, while the 19-inch model will come in both black and a combination of silver and white.

The goal of stress testing is to push the computer to failure. You want to see how long it takes before it becomes unstable. It's usually a good idea to run tests for at least an hour or two, though some can take longer.
