RE: [Digital BW] Monitor purchase questions

2004-03-22 by Tom Baker

I've replaced my NEC under warranty once, as well.

I have had very good luck in the past with Viewsonic, NEC, Mitsubishi and
Sony monitors. It is a real shame Sony is apparently abandoning CRT displays
except for the very high end.

A word of caution on NEC, however. I replaced my aging Sony in August with a
19" MultiSync FP912SB NEC monitor and I was very pleased with the image
quality. Cost was under $300. Unfortunately in late January it failed with
the image geometry becoming distorted and the lower left corner flickering.
I did an exchange with NEC/Mitsubishi support and they were very prompt but
I had to pay shipping one way since I was out of the 90 day warranty.

The replacement they sent was defective and I did another exchange (they
paid all the shipping) but that had defective power management. I am now
looking at my third refurb from NEC/Mitsubishi and it has failed exactly the
same way as the original monitor. Maybe this was just a bad model but
receiving 3 bad replacements has cooled my brand loyalty to NEC.

I am not sure I want to go one more round of a refurb from them. I may just
bite the bullet and buy a new Viewsonic 19" Graphics model G90f for under
$300.
