The unit gets about 2.5 hours of playback from the supplied rechargeable lithium battery.

Amazon.com Review

The NEC LCD1525V 15-inch flat-panel monitor is a straightforward analog TFT active-matrix LCD unencumbered by superfluous features that you may never need. The tilt/swivel base affixed to the bottom of the monitor has a small footprint, which is a great benefit when you have a desk full of equipment, and the monitor is lightweight enough (only 13 pounds) to push around as needed.

Installation is a simple as it should be for an entry-level unit. Slide the LCD1525V out of the box and you'll be up and running in five minutes or less. The onscreen management controls (in other words, buttons) on the front let you alter brightness or contrast and adjust the horizontal size or position of the image. We took all the adjustments to the extreme and were satisfied with the screen's performance. Further options allow you to correct any geometric distortion and the color percentages. A recall button quickly returns whatever changes were made back to the company's default settings, which we found actually were the best for regular usage.

The operating manual is brief yet complete. The simple line drawings readily identify and illustrate setup and features. In addition, the troubleshooting guide is an easy-to-read chart that should solve most common predicaments. The NEC LCD1525V is PC ready for Windows 95 or 98 and Macintosh compatible with the purchase of a separate adapter. --Barbara Price

1 out of 5 stars died in 3 months - not great pic.......2001-08-05

I've had only NEC's for over 10 years. My last 2 CRT's suffered severe distortion within the first year. Replaced by NEC, the same thing happened with the reconditioned they gave me in return. Went to this LCD 3 months ago, and while the pic quality wasn't the best, I still hung on to the NEC quality of old. Well, this one has died too! I have now given up on NEC. It might just be bad luck, but so many performance issues has made me wary.

4 out of 5 stars Looks good to me.......2001-01-27

The guy that wrote the review below must of had a lemon because I think the monitor is fine. Of course there are better LCD's out there but for most people this is a great value for the price and I would recommend it to anyone. Before I bought it I looked at many different LCDs in computer stores and made my decision that way. I have even been running Win98 + Mandrake Linux and the monitor was very clear and flicker free and did not pose any installation issues.

2 out of 5 stars Big disappointment.......2001-01-14

Picture quality was poor, the fonts were less readable than on our old monitors. I don't think it was the fault of the video cards, my monitor had higher resolution previously. Also, installation was difficult (had to download drivers from the NEC site) and de-installation (under Windows98) was disastrous; an inexperienced user would have needed tech support to restore the system.

4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect.......2000-12-27

The tilt/swivel base is almost too small for the panel. When the panel is tilted beyond a certain point. the base starts to become unstable. Color is superb. Very easy to set up.
