NEC Launches AccuSync 3-Series Monitors

By Nick Mokey January 28, 2008

Shirking the trend toward more and more widescreen monitors for PCs, display maker NEC refreshed its line of standard-format LCD monitors on Monday with five new displays. The monitors in the new NEC AccuSync 3-Series line range from 17 to 19 inches, all with native resolution of 1280 x 1024.

Three of the monitors will be 17-inch models with 700:1 contrast ratios, brightness of 300 cd/m² and 5ms response times. The ASLCD73VX and ASLCD73VX-BK will be identically priced at $224.99 with color being the only difference (either white or black). The slightly pricier ASLCD73VXM-BK will go for $239.99, but includes built-in multimedia speakers.

Also like the smaller models, they will be available in both regular and multimedia variants, with the ordinary ASLCD93VX-BK going for $254.99 and the speaker-equipped ASLCD93VXM-BK going for $274.99.

The current Meta Quest 2 has been a solid success for the company, being well-received by consumers and critics alike. It had been praised for its sharp display, strong performance, and intuitive control layout, but like almost anything, improvements are always welcomed. This is where the Quest 3 could really make a strong impression.
