Home > Consumer Reviews > NEC MultiSync FE700 Totally Flat 17" CRT Monitor (PC/Mac)

When i started looking around for a monitor, i did the usual bit...look through reviews....read magazine articles...search monitor related sites...the works. What i did notice however was the repeated mention of the high quality picture that the NEC fe700 offered. Having bought the monitor I found out for myself that it was indeed a great display....The colors are excellent and the res is very sharp.. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking around for a FST monitor for a great price

I have owned all of 3 monitors in my life, an Everdata 14�, a TVM 15� flat screen and finally the NEC FE700+, which won out over two Sonys, a 19 NEC and a 19� Samsung. What impressed me most about this monitor was the richness of color-while the other monitors around it seemed faded, the NEC was hands down the superior screen. When I got it home I had all but forgotten about the other monitors. It�s also big enough that I could increase the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768, and still be able to read text on the screen, something I had trouble doing on my TVM 15�.

This monitor is a dream. Setup time was les than a minute, and Windows detected it for what it was, and not a generic monitor. It is perfect for what I use it for-word processing, games, and a little graphics work in PhotoShop. It�s superb color coupled with NEC�s high quality construction and reputation make this display not only good value, but a good investment. Sure there are �bigger� monitors, but how good are they? I have seen several people with the Samsung 950p and I believe the NEC FE700+ gives a superior image quality and is only 2� small in screen size. And hey, it�s Macintosh compatible, which means you can do away with those silly and cheap looking clear plastic boxes. I highly recommend this monitor.

I bought this monitor About a year ago as a replacemnt to a 15"
older monitor. I fell in love the second the perfectly flat screen came alive with beutiful bright colors, the image filled the entire screen. it works very nice with linux. after a while i got used to how nice this has made my daily viewing experience.
I just purchased a 19" viewsonic A90F, and I felt diapointed.
the screen does not feel flat, and I have geometry problems, the outer edge is black(not a full creen). Im sending it back and going back to NEC for a flat 19" (or other brand).

This is the best monitor that I have ever used. Images are very crisp and colorful. It also has a brighter display than others. I would recommend the FE700 to anyone who is looking for a new monitor.
