NEC says it will ship a new 20.1" LCD monitor this month that includes a VGA and DVI-I connector. The dual-connector arrangement allows older VGA cards to run the digital screen, called the MultiSync LCD2010X, which can also accept analog and digital signals through the DVI-I connector. This is the third monitor in NEC's line to use this technology, called Ambix, which NEC says is not hindered by the loss of signals in digital to analog conversions.

The new monitor, weighing in at 23.1 pounds, as a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024. Features include:

• The monitor can pivot for portrait or landscape displays;
• XtraView Wide Viewing Angle technology allows for a viewing angle of 170 degrees horizontally and vertically;
• XtraView also adjusts image distortions and color changes evident in monitors with standard LCD technology;
• Reduced power consumption and low emissions;
• Wall/arm mounting capabilities are available because the DVI-I and VGA connectors are incorporated into the monitor itself, as opposed to the stand;
• OSM onscreen controls;

The MultiSync LCD2010X is expected to ship in the middle of this month for $4,199 for both Macintosh and Windows. It will be available in white and black cabinets. For more information, visit http://www.nec.com.
