I had the 25" version of the NEC (2501A). While the picture was very good, it
was not up to my expectations. I ended up selling it and buying a Sony Profeel
KX 2501a and VTX-1000R tuner. I should have bought the Sony to begin with. In
my opinion there is no comparison between the NEC and the Profeel or Proton.
The black levels, contrast, and sharpness of the latter two win hands down.
I also had a problem with interference on the extreme right hand side of the
NEC when viewing premium channels on cable which were unscrambled.
Mind you, I'm not saying the NEC is a bad unit, just that you get what you pay for. 
P.S. While I liked the Proton a lot, I didn't care for their tuner at all,
which tipped the scales for the Sony.
