Brighter CRT Monitors Really Shine
Models from NEC-Mitsubishi and Samsung offer brightness-enhancing technology.
Today's CRT monitors are smaller, save more energy, and are easier on the eyes thanks to their tubes' flatter faces. Now, they're brighter.
What makes bright right? A better viewing experience with everything from streamed multimedia to PC games and DVD movies, according to the makers of two new, extremely bright, 17-inch flat CRT displays: NEC-Mitsubishi's $209 NEC MultiSync FE771SB and Samsung's $229 SyncMaster 765mb. Brighter images are also able to provide sharper, crisper detail in business graphics and presentations.
In my tests, I found that the brightness effect goes beyond what you might get if you just crank up an older display's settings. On each monitor, you can switch the brightness-enhancing technology on or off with the press of a button. When I enabled the superbright setting, the NEC's text got noticeably fuzzier, but not as much as on the Samsung.
The capabilities of both of these shipping units exceeded my expectations, but the Samsung offers some extras: It can direct a 'brightness zone' to any part of the screen, in a resizable rectangle. That helps a user spotlight a small area--a dark game graphic, for example. The NEC MultiSync FE771SB toggles only between full-screen normal and bright settings.
In a darkened room, the striking brightness can hurt your eyes. But for activities where you must squint to see detail, enhanced brightness makes a world of difference.
