Summary: Blurry Screen
Review: I've got about 30 of them last year and after a year all of them are going blurry. Thankfully NEC has a good warranty program but it's a pain sending in and getting it replaced.

Summary: Good, reliable monitor with easy to use contols
Review: This is a very good monitor at a very reasonble price. This monitor family has been a mainstay for NEC for several years and it has developed into a good reliable monitor from slightly shakier beginings. It is not the best monitor for the price, but it is a very safe buy. The controls are fairly novice friendly and you won't have to worry about the quality of the product - NEC is first rate. Most people will be happiest setting the monitor to 1,024 x 768 were the 87Hz refresh rate will be very easy on the eyes. The .27 dot pitch is acceptable but I am disapointed NEC hasn't moved a better tube into this price range.I would suggest looking at two other good canidates that usually are about the same price as this NEC: Samsung 17" DynaFlat SyncMaster 753Df This monitor is the entry level for Samsung's new perfectly flat screens. Not eveyone likes the new super-flat monitors but personally I love them. This Samsung has superb resolution (.20 dot pitch!) and the usual refresh rate (85Hz at 1024x768). The controls aren't as easy to use at the NEC but most people won't mind. Samsung monitors are generally a great value when you compare price to performance. Hitachi 17" CM615U-511 A good quality monitor (.23 dot pitch 1024x768 85Hz) the best selling point is the deep contrast - the best in this price range. A friend of mine bought one and I was very impressed. The controls are a little cryptic and pain to navigate. On the upside Hitachi just extended their U.S. warranty to 5 years (on monitors sold after 1/31/01)! Two years longer than most companies.

Summary: Good Deal
Review: This monitor puts out a decent quality picture. Basically what you would expect from NEC. This is no trinitron, but it does the job. And the price is right.
