    $229?!? Who they think they're fooling with that crap resolution?

    EDIT: I would buy something like this for my parents (if it were maybe $99 MAX) who are running a machine with a whole 128mb of vram- that low res would help with their frame problems with their current 1600x900 monitor...

    Hey NEC the year 2000 called, they want their monitor back. I mean I get that its IPS, but why in this form factor/resolution? I could see maybe if it had super thin bezels for eyefinity, but it doesnt.

    There are some people who like the square monitors and some older programs prefer them also. Space saving is another consideration.

    I know a lot of Artists who would love a monitor like this but in 20-21" Size and higher resolution as it gives them more verticle space

    These monitors make very handy 2nd monitors for those of us with large monitors who don't want 2 30" panels. Best use for these is for reference imagery, Facebook and email or monitoring stats

    The sad thing about this is that some sucker will buy this. Toms, why you posted this? I think/hope most of your users won't consider this at that price range.

    NEC monitors are largely aimed at corporate business (read = business). Very few sensible people around here who knows that there are a whole lot more than enthusiast world.
