I really like this NEC FE992 19-inch monitor. I now have three of them (one bought from Amazon), two of 'em on an old PowerMac running dual monitors (via adapters that allow the use of PC monitors) and one for a recently-purchased older PC.

The CRT picture of this monitor is, in my opinion, a *lot* better than any of the similar-price-range LCD screens I've seen, and it looks a lot better than the other brands of CRT's I've seen recently too, for that matter.

The picture is sharp, and not blurry, even in the corners; I'm running them all at 1152x870 which my hardware supports.

The NEC FE992 monitors are certainly a vast improvement over the dreadful old worn-out blurry 15" Apple Multi-Scan I used to have.

The NEC on-screen controls for geometry and color and all that stuff, seem to work well.

The screen is nicely flat and it has a good anti-reflective coating (use water only, to clean).

The only thing I would CAUTION about is that NEC *requires* that the monitor's *serial* number MUST be on the proof-of-purchase itself. Unfortunately, at the time that I bought one of these monitors from Amazon, Amazon does NOT put the serial number on the proof of purchase, and by the time you receive the item and realize that, it's too late, which means that as far as NEC is concerned you have NO WARRANTY!!!! That is not good! Amazon should fix that. Some *other* retailers DO put the serial number on the proof-of-purchase, like they're supposed to as required by NEC - if in doubt, ask before buying and get it in writing, if you want an NEC warranty - they're picky about that. Chances are you probably won't need the warranty anyway, but why throw away a warranty for no good reason just because Amazon doesn't put the serial number on the proof of purchase, or anywhere else for that matter.

Anyway the monitor itself is fine - I'm very pleased with the ones I have.

This monitor works just fine, but not nearly as well as flat screen alternatives and many at much cheaper prices. If you want a clear crisp color image...choose another.

Good monitor!
Good image and resolution
No moire, small foot
