We gave the CRN Test Center Editors' Choice Award to the NEC Technologies MultiSync MT600. It combined good performance with a substantial channel program. Though it was not the leader in terms of available features, it represents the best balance for resellers of product, channel support, marketing programs and margins.
Resellers choosing which product to recommend based solely on features need look no further than the Proxima DP4100, or, for image quality, the industrial-strength Sharp XG-E1000U. Both products suffered from weaknesses on the channel side. The In Focus LitePro 620 also performed well.
The NEC MultiSync MT600 is a new product, having been announced in mid-May. It offers true VGA 600 x 480 resolution and compressed SVGA 800 x 600 resolution. Other units in this review, however, offer true 800 x 600 resolution. At 600 x 480, the NEC cast a bright, crisp image that did not require the room lights in the CRN Test Center to be dimmed. The unit is rated at a brightness of 400 ANSI lumens.
