NEC MultiSync FP2141SB 22 inch CRT Monitor

Pros: Gorgeous colors, sharp text, straightforward OSD menu, NEC quality & reliability.
Cons: No longer in production; requires gigantic stroke of luck to find new stock.

I've been using this monitor daily since 2003 with no problems. It does take some setting up, as the factory setup is less-than-ideal, particularly for perfectionists (which describes most owners of this type of monitor). The minor flaws which ...

Pros: super sharp from center to edge, big screen, 2048x1536@85hz
Cons: Heavy, AG lines, Requires Adjustment, Cheap Cable

I have had this monitor for about 2 weeks now, and it is hard to use smaller less sharp monitors. I upgraded from a 19in viewsonic ps790, which back in the day (5 years ago) was top of the line, but this monitor obviously puts it to shame. It is ...

Pros: Outstanding clarity and color; AG lines are barely visible
Cons: Expect to make a lot of adjustments to the geometry; no ability for multiple settings

I had been using a very nice Hitachi 19" CRT for quite some time. I wanted a new monitor with better color display (richer and with some pop). I spent quite awhile looking at both flat panels and CRT's. That was my first decision. I finally decided on a ...

Pros: Flat, Clear, Bright
Cons: Shadow Lines, $$$

The Good This monitor is clear, edge-to-edge, and bright, in its super-bright modes. The brightness of each of the super-bright modes and its regular mode can be adjusted separately. I have not seen any moiré problems and the refresh rates cause no ...

Pros: Warranty: TOP NOTCH! Excellent quality. Very easy on the eyes. Colours are beautiful.
Cons: Nothing bad about this monitor. Trying to find something I dislike but cannot!

My FP 2141 SB arrived today from NEC. They replaced a new NEC monitor purchased from an internet cite www.canadamonitors.com The original had a flaw , but was new, so a call to NEC and faxing the invoice gave me another new monitor. Plus they upgraded ...

Pros: Lots of control settings.
Cons: Text in corners is not sharp. All those controls and can't correct focus.

When viewing small text (8pixels high or so) the text is out of focus/fuzzy in the four corners (triangular region in the corners where the 2 equal bases of the triangle are about 4inches long.) If you draw vertical and horizontal lines through the center of the monitor then text at the edge is clear where those lines meet the edge of the monitor, but as you move towards the corners things get fuzzy. This is rather annoying when trying to focus on text with multiple windows open doing programming and development work.
