| julsol's Full Review: Mitsubishi NX86LCD-BK Flat Panel LCD Monitor (18in... |
The NX86LCD is a very good TFT, and very appropriate for video editing since it has a higher refresh rate than other similar products. It is also slightly larger than other LCDs in this price range (18.1" viewable screen). I actually upgraded to this monitor from a 17" Samsung SynchMaster 175v, and the difference was noticeable.
The color resolution in this LCD is quite impressive and accurate, as well as text representation. Like most TFT monitors, they look their best in their native resolution (in this case 1280x1024).
One of the best features of this monitor is that it employs Rapid Response technology which improves considerably the quality of full-motion video display, with very fast response times. While editing video in other TFT monitors may be a daunting experience (video may look jagged, pixelated and full of artifacts), this Rapid Response feature makes it look great. I don't use this LCD for games, but I tested a couple of 3D first person games in it, and they looked quite life-like.
On the negative side, the monitor's control panel is accessed through a few buttons in the lower front side. This activates an on-screen menu that is very counterintuitive and frustrating to use. The manufacturer compensated by including an application called NaviSet, that allows to control the monitor settings from your computer. It makes a huge difference.
Overall, a nice monitor and a good purchase. Recommended!
