When I was looking for an LCD to replace my old CRT, I wanted to spend no more than $400 ideally. The NEC ASLCD92V fits the bill perfectly.

First, NEC-Mitsubishi has a good reputation for engineering consumer-grade and higher computer displays, so I felt safe going with the NEC name.

Second, now that I have it, the visual quality of the display exceeds the quality that I as a consumer have the right to demand for the price: brightness is nice, I don't see flicker, the 1280X1024 resolution means my 19" LCD displays a substantial amount of information on the screen; there is one defective pixel near the bottom of the screen, but I think I can live with that in 1280X1024 resolution.

One important note: after I hooked up the monitor, my Windows system became unstable to the point of unusability. The problem was my graphics card -- an ATI Radeon 7000 -- which is too old and no longer supported by ATI, and simply could not support rendering to the new NEC display. I purchased a new graphics card -- a PNY GeForce 5700 VE -- and now Windows is fine. Although this increased the effective price of the NEC LCD, I suspect I would have had to replace the graphics card for any other 19" LCD. If you wonder if your card can support this display, my guess is that if your card is fairly new and can support a digital display, it will handle this analog display.

Other notes: the monitor nominally has a 16ms refresh rate, which is better than most monitors in this price range. It has a 3-year (limited) warranty. It is analog, but until I see a digital monitor, I couldn't say if this is much of a detriment.

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a fine monitor. It set up fast and easily with a bright face and vivid colors. No adjustment was required, but I found it a bit too bright and easily dimmmed it slightly. No problem with Windows x-p.

I purchase several monitors each year for our business. This monitor is the best one!
