In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Technologies, is found on its price tag. With an estimated street price of just $999, this 15-inch active-matrix multimedia LCD monitor is the first from NEC Technologies to offer users a variety of cutting-edge features.

The MultiSync LCD1500M also gives users that high-resolution, flicker-free image they have come to expect from NEC Technologies, the LCD market share leader according to Display Search, an Austin, Texas-based independent market research firm. "With more users interested in LCD monitors, we felt it was important to provide a flat-panel solution offering a full feature set while remaining affordable," said Chris Connery, product manager for NEC Technologies' Personal Display Division. "With the MultiSync LCD1500M, users actually gain functionality over some CRT monitors while still retaining the small footprint that made LCD monitors attractive in the first place." Bells and Whistles A slang English term for exceptional features in some product. In the computer field, it typically refers to functions in software that may be greatly appreciated by some users, even though they may not be necessary most of the time. One of the first things you notice about the MultiSync LCD1500M is the two front-mounted stereo speakers. The second thing you may notice is that unlike other monitors, these 1-watt speakers are located on the monitor panel itself. This way, if users choose to use the monitor's arm- or wall-mount capability, they can still enjoy the sound of their favorite application. Other monitors that place speakers in the base often lose their audio component when the LCD screen is removed for use elsewhere. The speakers are accompanied by convenient audio controls that place adjustments for volume, microphone, bass/treble and mute at your finger tips. Fantastic Functionality To further enhance the monitor's flexibility, NEC has incorporated four easily accessible Universal Serial Bus See USB. (hardware, standard) Universal Serial Bus - (USB) An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over an inexpensive cable using biserial transmission. (USB) ports into the base of the MultiSync LCD1500M. With USB, the monitor base is able to serve as a connection point for up to four high-and low-speed USB devices, including videoconference cameras, keyboards, scanners and mice. Its hot-swapping capability allows easy connections for true Plug and Play convenience. Best of all, the addition of self-powered USB ports, which adhere to the the strict Microsoft 98 specifications for true USB support, frees up the system's CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , allowing it to deal with more critical tasks. All The Room You Need Weighing in at just 11.5 lbs. and measuring 3 inches deep, the MultiSync LCD1500M is ideal for users with space and weight constraints such as those in the financial, medical, manufacturing and transportation industries. The 15-inch viewing area, for example, offers users a screen landscape rivaling that of a 17-inch CRT monitor while consuming a fraction of the desk space. Plus, with a maximum resolution of 1024x768, the MultiSync LCD1500M provides consumers in need of precise image quality with a perfect alternative to traditional CRT monitors. To protect this lightweight investment, NEC Technologies has included a security port on the rear panel of the monitor. A wire cable manufactured by Kensington can be connected to this port to guard against theft. Across the Board Compatibility Like NEC Technologies' CRT counterparts, the MultiSync LCD1500M monitor is designed for direct analog input, allowing for instant compatibility with PC and Macintosh(R) computers as well as Sun(R) workstations, Silicon Graphic(TM) workstations and x-terminals. Furthermore, as with many NEC Technologies monitors, this new LCD model meets virtually every stringent regulatory specification. It is compliant with both TCO'95 and MPRII guidelines, and conforms to the Energy Star(R) program standards.
