Good for a year (Rating: 2.00)
Review : I had this monitor for about a year (actually, the first one). It was perfect for daily use. However, it started to flicker right after that. Called the customer service and was told there were three options to get the service of warranty. I chose the one that I could keep having a monitor to use, i.e., they sent me a remanufactured one for free and then I sent mine back to their service center at my costs (30 bucks!!!). I did received the replacement quickly, but it was a real "remanufactured" monitor, dirty screen and flickered a few times a day. Anyway, I decided to keep it as it worked o.k. most of the time. Well, guess what? After about 9 months of moderate use, the second one started to flicker badly again as the first one. The worst thing is that I can not replace it any more because a new warranty that came with the second one says that the warranty period was changed from three years to one year from the purchasing date (that was almost two years ago). It is really a ridiculous policy.So my recommendation is that this is the right monitor for you if you plan to replace your computer every year, otherwise, stay away from it. My experience, as well as those of other reviewers, does suggest that there is a quality problem with this product.
Good monitor until it gets some age on it (Rating: 1.00)
Review : My monitor worked great until it got about 18 months old. It then started flicker and distort just like some other people have stated in other reviews. I'm going to buy a different brand to replace it.
Very Disappointing (Rating: 2.00)
Review : I'm shocked to read all the reviews complaining of the flicker problem. I absolutely loved this monitor until, after 15 months or so, I started getting awfull flickering/distortion. I guess I understand why the warranty ends after one year. I will not buy another NEC monitor.
Flicker-Free?: I don't think so ... (Rating: 2.00)
Review : My NEC FE991SB-BK 19" CRT Monitor right out of the box had two very visible horizontal gray lines that I have not been able to get rid of. After a year and half it has begun to flicker and distort severely. I hate it and regret buying it. I will think twice about buying NEC again...
Good for people with bad eyes, but... (Rating: 3.00)
Review : I bought this monitor from Dell in Nov or Dec last year (can't remember) as they had it on sale and with free shipping. The monitor certainly is bright, thought it's not a bad thing. The biggest problem with this monitor is that it's a 19" monitor but can't display 1280x1024@85Hz legibly. Text is horribly blurry at that resolution. It looks great at 1024x768 but that is WAY too low for a 19"; everything looks SO huge. My fault for not researching it enough as 1024 is the recommended resolution for this model.
