NEC FE950

Pros: Gorgeous colors and sharp text from corner to corner; high refresh rates.

Cons: Aperture grill lines; a little heavy.

The Bottom Line: Definitely a thumbs up, for its crisp text, rich colors, and solid quality throughout.

Review: I originally set out, a few days ago, to replace a year-old Hitachi 19" monitor that had developed a nasty black patch in the middle of the screen. Consistent with my usual lack of good luck, the first two monitors I chose (a Samsung 955DF, $349.00, and...

Pros: Great Picture

Cons: No softare for color matching with printer

Review: I just upgraded from an NEC 17" monitor, which I have had for over 4 years, and spent a lot of time researching the different types of monitors available.

The biggest problem with purchasing a monitor of any type is determining how good...

Pros: - Bright - Flat - Sharp - Diamondtron Tech

Cons: Super loud when you power it on (degauss effect).

The Bottom Line: Overall this is an outstanding product, backed by a 3 warranty which makes this monitor hard to resist.

Review: Out with the old
Previous to purchasing a 19" monitor I had been using a Sony 17" Trinitron. At the time I had purchased the 17", comparing trinitron monitors to shadow mask monitors were no comparison. I found Trinitron's to produce a much...

Pros: Crisp text, bright, very good color, clear display, great price/performance ratio.

Cons: Slight ghosting near the vertical edges of bright, white objects.

The Bottom Line: At $400.00, I highly recommend this monitor. The FE950+ offers a very stable, clear display, crisp text, easy to use controls, very good color and a 3 year warranty.

Review: After going to about a half dozen stores to evaluate ViewSonic, Samsung, Sony, and KDS monitors priced between $300.00-$400.00, it was apparent that sharpness of the overall image, text clarity, the depth of the color and even the usefulness of some of...

Pros: Excellent picture quality for the price, DiamondTron tube!

Cons: Slight screen geometry problems, but is common to most flat screens

The Bottom Line: Great picture, great value.

Review: Introduction

The Samsung SyncMaster 900NF, iiyama VisionMaster Pro 450, Viewsonic PF790, PF795, A95f, Mitsubishi's Diamond Pro 900u and DiamondPlus 91 all use the same Mitsubishi DiamondTron NF picture tube. Since the picture tube is the main...

Pros: Nice looking and even sleek for a 19 inch CRT

Cons: It is heavy.

The Bottom Line: Recommended without reservation.

Review: I replaced a 6 or 7 year old Sony Trinitron with a NEC MultiSync FE950+ BK 19. When it booted into Windows, I was immediately taken aback at the difference. It was so much brighter and sharper. The difference was noticed by my son from 20 feet away!...

Pros: Sleek looks, good color, good geometry, high refresh

Cons: picture position not fixed, convergence issues, loud power-on

The Bottom Line: Definitely a good buy. On par with the Sony and Viewsonic models.

Review: This particular monitor has a lot going for it. On top of its solid refresh rates (I run 1280x960 @ 85Hz), the monitor is about an inch shallower than most of its counterparts and weighs only 55 pounds.

Looks:
This monitor looks great....

Pros: Great price for a true flat 19" monitor

Cons: Dot pitch leads to poor text at high resolutions

The Bottom Line: Buy if you a. get good price, b. don't run very high resolutions, c. need a flat screen, and d. do not need ultra sharp text.

Review: I already had a 19" monitor but added an duel out video card and was looking to add a 2nd 19". This monitor was purchased based upon some reviews I'd read and based upon its price for a true flat screen.

This monitor, when I purchased it, was...

Pros: Good quality color. Nice form-factor

Cons: Fixed scan line breaks on my model.

The Bottom Line: Good bang for your buck. Lots of features in a sexy package.

Review: How excited can the average computer user get about their monitor? :)

Breakdown of my rating:
Picture Quality: 4
Feature Set: 5
Manuals: 2
Performance: 4

However, I do really enjoy my NEC Multisync. Here are a...
