Nec 20WGX², an IPS equivalent to a 2 ms TN (page 1: The wheel turns: IPS super star !) - BeHardware

With the IPS at 6ms, NEC won its bet. This monitor will suit gamers as it's as fast as the 2 ms TN in this domain. It's actually to the credit of LG-Philips as they are the producers of this panel. Well done!Which 20" monitor should we choose today...

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2 20.1in widescreen LCD

If you can gloss over the gloss and want a 1,680 x 1,050 widescreen LCD to breathe life into games and movies, then the 20WGX2 could be for you.

NEC LCD20WGX2 LCD television

NEC's 20WXG2 is its first widescreen display and is targeted specifically at multimedia use such as games and movies. NEC has come up with an LCD that's as exciting as it is versatile, and ideal for the modern multimedia age. Although there are cheaper...

Range of presets, excellent clarity and sharpness, smooth tilt and swivel base, USB2.0 Hub built-in

Presets don’t always improve the display as suggested, poor menu controls

NEC has come up with an LCD that’s as exciting as it is versatile, and ideal for the modern multimedia age. Although there are cheaper 20” widescreens around, few have the quality of the NEC, particularly with gaming.

NEC Multisync 20WGX2

Are glossy screen surfaces a dying fad? 18 months ago, glossy panels were popping up all over the shop. Today, this NEC example is one of only two glossy monitors that has really caught our eyes

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2 Pro review

First impressions suggest there's nothing special about the NEC 20WGX2 Pro's design. With a thin silver bezel and black plastic hardware it's not trying to stand out, and the onscreen display (OSD) controls and buttons don't add to the effect.

You won't be disappointed by the image quality or the features of the NEC MultiSync 20WGX2 Pro, and even its OSD is also relatively easy to use. It's not the cheapest monitor you can buy, but it is one of the best 20in monitors available.

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2 Pro review

Originally aimed at gamers, the NEC MultiSync 20WGX2 Pro is a 20in LCD screen that's trying to get more mass-market interest. And it deserves to.

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2

A perfect screen for gamers, but too expensive.

But, in general use, the NEC offers deep blacks when it needs to, blinding whites at other times and a wonderfully wide dynamic range, despite a contrast ratio of just 700:1. With such a high brightness you'd expect blacks to suffer, but this isn't the...

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2

This screen uses similar technology to the Acer to provide a glossy, high contrast, richly coloured surface and also features technology designed specifically for gamers.

NEC MultiSync 20WGX2

Gaming is becoming a huge market and everyone is staking out a pitch for themselves, so it's no surprise that NEC's marketing is aimed at evening and weekend wielders of rocket-propelled grenades and other tools of monster destruction. But the monitors...

Handy joystick-controlled OSD, high-quality glossy display, very fast 6ms response for animation and video, built-in USB, DVI and VGA support

Unexciting looks and plastic build, no height adjust, compression of highlights and lowlights, no portrait mode option

This is an impressive monitor, considering the price. Only a slight hint of compression at dark and light extremes stops it being perfect for video and photography. Otherwise the glossy display looks good and the extra twist on the standard old monitor...
