About this product
The NEC MultiSync 70GX2 is a 17-inch LCD monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, VGA input, and OptiClear technology. It is black, tested for functionality, and priced at $129.99. Designed for retro gaming, this monitor offers a compact size and period-appropriate connectivity, though its specs are limited for modern use.
Our take
For a retro gaming monitor, the NEC 70GX2 does the job without fuss. The 17-inch screen is small but perfect for a desk with limited space. I tested it with classic PC games, and the image is clear for its era, though the 60Hz limit and VGA-only input mean you're stuck with analog. OptiClear helps with glare, but viewing angles are typical for an old TN panel. It's a fair price for a tested working unit, but don't expect high refresh rates or vivid colors. Good for a nostalgia build.
