Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not for everyone
Review: This monitor could be an excellent choice for the casual computer user in an office, but it is not the right choice if you work with graphics, or if you're particular about image quality.

On the plus side, this monitor is inexpensive, and the image is razor-sharp, edge-to-edge, and has good brightness.

On the minus side, the entire screen image size changes by as much as several millimeters when the screen brightness changes (like when opening or closing an application window), which will drive you nuts if you open and close windows frequently. This is probably due to insufficient power supply regulation. Also, the screen geometry on mine was not good, with the top-left part of the screen curving down, etc. There is also a slight, but noticeable, color variation across the screen horizontally. If you were viewing a web page with a white background, the left side of the screen would look slightly bluish, while the right side would look slightly yellowish.

I returned this monitor and purchased the NEC FE 750, which is a much better monitor in my opinion. My only (minor) complaint is that there is still a slight color variation across the screen; but it is barely perceptible, and not enough to make me return this monitor. All of the other problems associated with the FE 700 are not present in the 750.
