Received these monitors a couple of days ago and just wanted to pass along my impressions of them. The boxes they come in are HUGE and they are very well packed in these boxes, and the monitor itself comes in a large foil bag to keep out dust.
These monitors are quite heavy. The stands are excellent as advertised and allow one to move the monitor up and down and pivot it as desired with minimum effort, which is impressive considering the weight of the panel. The 90 degree pivot is especially convenient for connecting the monitor's cables...makes it supremely easy.:)
The monitors evoke a sense of rock solid quality, much more so than lesser monitors I've used and assembled.
Colors are excellent and much more vibrant than my old POS Gateways. I can't see any noticable bleeding from the backlight along the edges of the monitor. Heat production isn't a huge deal and seems pretty normal (not noticably excessive to me). Movies are excellent and watching animated movies in HD is very nice indeed.
I'm very impressed overall. My only real complaint is the lack of a USB hub in the side of the monitor, but considering the other strengths of the monitor, it's not too hard to overlook this minor drawback.
These monitors aren't cheap, but I've bought them knowing that they're covered for four years under warranty and have good support behind them. I use NEC monitors daily at work and considering how reliable they've been there (and some of the abuse they've taken), it was a no brainer.
