Cornerstone Peripherals P1750
The P1750 offers especially sharp text, compared with other large CRTs.

While most LCDs still offer better text than CRTs, the P1750 is a respectable option for people who prefer a CRT's virtues--such as the lower-than-LCD price for a comparable screen area and the ability to support several resolutions. Though it uses the same core electronics as the NEC MultiSync FE2111SB--which we also evaluated for our February issue--the P1750 earned noticeably better text quality scores from our jury. But that performance edge comes at a price. At the time or our review, the P1750 sold for $150 more than the FE2111SB, and Cornerstone offers a scant 8 hours per weekday of telephone support, in contrast to NEC-Mitsubishi's round-the-clock coverage.
Upshot: Buyers willing to spend more for the P1750 than for competitors will be rewarded with stellar text quality.
