Life on the EEEdge: Daily life with Asus' tiny laptop 04 January, 2008 07:15:21
6 annoying things (and 3 great ones) about Asus' ultraportableLike many gearheads, I've owned a lot of portable computers over the years -- and I've wanted to replace every last one with a smaller, sleeker upgrade, from the "luggable" Apple IIc onward. But most of those upgrades have left me disappointed: with the lack of software; with cheap, hard-to-use interfaces; and with "optional" add-ons that were in fact very much necessary to make the machine useful.

The NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX is a 21-inch dual input (digital and analog) LCD display with a 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution, integrated USB 2.0 hub, and thin-bezel design.
This display is available in either silver or black or with the Soundbar 70, a set of speakers available as an option.
The speaker hardware clips onto the display and plugs into the back of the monitor.
Similar in specifications to one of our all time favourites, the higher end MultiSync LCD2080UX, the 70 series has a less edgy design - a circular, instead of rectangular base and smooth, rounded edges.
It shares the 2080UX's easy height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, but loses the ability to pivot to a portrait mode.
This might bother people who want to try out Tiger's new display rotation feature, but it also costs about half as much as the high-end model.
Without adjustment, the 2070NX has a very slight red cast and was a little too bright, losing some highlight details. After calibrating it, the display had a good neutral grey and colors were accurate, but I think most people would be very happy with the display in its default setting.
Texut was clear and very legible at small point sizes and the display's viewing angle was rated.
Excellent for showing no signs of colour shifting, even at extreme angles.
The NEC MultiSync LCD2070UX is a great choice for people looking for a moderately priced monitor with the ability to display bright, accurate colors.
