NEC MultiSync FE991SB 19

• Reviewed by: daDave

  Strengths: Bright sharp picture. Monitor adjustments can be made through software. Black cabinet looks cool.

  Weaknesses: Aperture grille technology causes 2 very faint thin lines to show on the screen.

  Overall: This is a great improvement over my previous 6-year old NEC MultiSync 70 as the phosphors were going dark on that screen. The 991SB has two SuperBright modes (1 and 2) and they do make a difference. Mode 1 is my favorite for looking at pictures and movies which show beautifully on this monitor. But for word processing and spreadsheets I just keep it off. The NaViSet software is easily downloadable and makes monitor adjustments very, very easy. And yes, there are 2 very thin light-gray lines that are most noticeable if you only intend to use the monitor to stare at 2 very thin light-gray lines. It?s a characteristic of aperture grille technology. Otherwise, it?s nothing to get upset about. Overall, it?s a great value for a great looking monitor and I?m very happy with it.

  Strengths: Had this product for a few days now and am amazed at the picture quality. Picture very good brightness, very crisp. Download Naviset from NEC and adjusting the Settings for your monitor will be easier

  Weaknesses: I must ask why or if NEC could do with out these two lines at the top and bottom, not too annoying but definitely could do without. I think it's the aperture grille

  Overall: This monitor has exceptional picture quality and brightness rivals many more expensive monitors, very solid buy if you're looking for a perfect gaming monitor. I must say though that this monitor is bright and doesn't picture Letters too well, so maybe if all you are going to do is type then you might want to look for something else, for those of you looking for an exceptional monitor at a great price (bought mine for $225.00) this is it.

  Strengths: Super Bright CRT is just that. Very good convergence and wonderful color.

  Weaknesses: None.

  Overall: My previous monitor was a NEC C700 with a .27 dot pitch. After over four years of almost constant use, a gun started going out. The FE991SB has a .25 dot pitch and is very easy to see detail. I am visually impaired and am very sensistive to clarity and crispness. The FE991SB does not disappoint.
