The display stands on a solid, rectangular pedestal, which telescopes to give the unit a generous 4.5 inches of extra height. The screen tilts forward 5 degrees and back 30 degrees, and it swivels 45 degrees to the right or left. This flexibility, together with the unitÂ's 170-degree horizontal viewing angle, makes the LCD9V particularly well suited for group presentations. You can mount the display to the wall or to a swing arm via an optional VESA-compliant kit.
Unlike the ViewSonic VP191b or the HP L1925, the LCD9V won't let you pivot the screen between Portrait and Landscape modes. Our only other gripe: The LCD9V lacks a cable-feed system. When you plug in the AC adapter and the included signal cable to the analog input (there's no digital input, but a cable is provided), the cords just dangle down from the back panel in front of the pedestal like two unsightly pigtails.
The LCD9VÂ's image quality is quite good. CNET LabsÂ' tests revealed some pixel fusion in fonts sized 6.8 point and smaller, but thatÂ's par for the course with LCDs. Other than that, the monitor offers sharp focus and vibrant colors, and it easily distinguishes the slight nuances within extreme dark and light grays, something lesser-quality LCDs have trouble with. NEC backs the LCD9V with a standard three-year parts-and-labor warranty.
