NEC takes the discreet route with its lineup of AccuSync LCD monitors, tucking the stereo speakers right underneath the bezel to do away with the heavy hanging "chin" that often appears on mixed-media displays. This line will come in 17", 19" and 22" flavors, with all of them supporting DVI and VGA video input. The 17" LCD174WXM features 250cd/m2 brightness, 8ms pixel response time, and 800:1 contrast ratio; while the 19" model has a brightness level of 300cd/m2 and a contrast ratio to 1,000:1. As for the 22" monster, you get 300cd/m2 brightness and a 900:1 contrast ratio. The 17", 19" and 22" AccuSync line will ship this March for $210, $230, and $320 respectively.
