I am thinking of getting an NEC 1760 series monitor, but I cannot decide between the 1760V or NX. Near as I can tell, the main difference is a swivel and height adjustment on the NX and not the V, as well as DVI connection. The height and swivel I can live without, but I am not sure about the DVI connection.
I want this monitor to last for a while (I want anything that costs over $400 to last a while), so I am not sure if I should spring for the 1760NX, or just go with the 1760V. Basically I am asking if the DVI connection is worth the extra money, or will I be fine with an analog connection for the next few years?
Get the DVI version if the price difference between the two is not big and your graphics card has a DVI port as well. It would save you a lot of time tweaking the display settings.
Yes, most nicer video cards will have DVI output. Though I imagine both analog and DVI will be available for a long while. I don't think it is worth the extra $75 for the monitor. I think Tom said the Hitachi equivalent displayed a broader range of colors in analog anyway.
Check to see if the unit comes with a DVI video cable. I do not believe the LCD1760NX comes with a DVI cable so you will need to purchase one separately.
