With its sweepingly dramatic design discarding the traditional box shape of computer monitors, NEC's M500 monitor breaks new ground in style while providing seamless integration of audio and video for consumer and business multimedia users.

The monoform cabinet was designed to incorporate speakers without sacrificing sound quality, and the "falling-away" slope of the monitor helps it to appear smaller on the desktop. Its bold statement is suitable for the consumer market and yet not too radical for office environments. NEC and IDEO teamed together to create an exciting answer to today's multimedia monitor choices.
