Summary: Don't buy this
Review: After 7 months of using this monitor, I got the same problem. The screen would turn black, with a white horizontal strip going across the center of the screen. Sometimes, it would work after I shook it a couple of times. But after a few days of doing that every 30 minutes, I decided to send it back. It costed $70 to send this heavy thing to NEC. They either repaired it, or gave me another one, so now it has no problem. Stay away from this product!!

Summary: P.O.S.
Review: Don't buy this. I bought it also based on PC mag reviews that it was an excellent monitor for the price. I've had it maybe a year and now I have the exact same problems everyone else has mentioned, flickering and complete loss of picture.
I'm a bit irked that I'm out 200+ bucks, however, if my option is to pay $60 to send this one back, get someone else's broken monitor and then get told it's my fault, I might as well kick it to the curb and buy one from another company.
Now I'm temporarily using the 6+ year old dell monitor that came with an old computer while I decide what to buy.

Summary: blurry text strains your eyes
Review: I can't believe that NEC sells this piece of junk. I got it figuring that its aperture grill meant good image quality. Instead, its IQ is, in a word, horrible. Never have I ever seen such blurry text. I tried every possible adjustment, all to no avail. After only one day of use, it put such a strain on my eyes that I sent it back.

Summary: Bad Monitor and Horrid Support
Review: I had this monitor for just 3 months before the picture would start randomly going from dark to bright. No way to fix it. I had to ship it back to NEC for 100 bucks to get a replacement. Now just a few months later the replacement is going out on me. The picture gets all distorted and rips at the top. NEC support is horrible. My only option is to spend another 100 bucks to ship this one back to NEC to get another horrible replacement. This monitor has already cost me over 400 dollars and wasn't worth half of that.

Summary: Good color but bad geometry
Review: I have owned the monitor for over a month. It has vivid color and is sharp on text. However, its geometry distortion is also terrible and cannot be resolved with all possible adjustment controls. I wouldn't recommend this product to others.

Summary: Black Screen - Horizontal Line in the Middle
Review: I have the same exact problem everybody else did!! I used it for a little over a year, it was awesome while it lasted... then I get that same problem. Black Screen , only a white horizontal line in the middle. Thats it. When you turn it on sometimes it works for like 90 seconds, and then goes bad again. It's way too much hassle to send it back, I'll just throw this in the trash and get a new one, from another brand of course.Stay away from this product.

Summary: P.O.S.
Review: I purchased this monitor based on the recommendation from PC World magazine as one of the top rated monitors (Jan 2003). I was very happy until April of 2004. I now get flickering and tearing at both the top and bottom edges of the screen. Occasionally, I lose the whole picture and it goes completely black except for a very bright thin horizontal line in the center of my screen. If I hit the monitor on the side a few times, the picture comes back (for a while). I don't know how much longer this will work, however. I fear it will soon completely die. The monitor is still under warrantee, but from what I understand, you must contact NEC and give them a credit card # for security, and they will send you a refurbished replacement. Once you get it, you must then box up the old monitor and send it to them at your expense (probably around $60). If they determine the problem is from damage or neglect, they charge your credit card for the replacement. If not, I guess they fix up the broken one enough to give away to another customer who has problems. I'm thinking it would be better just to write it off as a bad purchase and buy another brand.
