I bought mine at a swap meet for $25. It was 2 years old at the time and had been used continuously for the whole time. I've had it quite a while and have had no problems with it. the only thing is, it's not good for reading text. I use it on an older computer I have to play DVDs. Best analog monitor I own.

Well, just thought I would add my name to the list. I've had mine just over three years now and I'm getting the flickering that I've seen mentioned in other user reviews. The screen will also change size on it's own (shrink and expand).

Just my luck this started happening right after the warranty ran out. I'm a bit surprised. I've had other monitors in excess of 8 years that are still going strong so I'm disappointed that this thing is on the fritz already.

Really nice while it lasted but the NEC brand is now tainted for me.

wow, Im getting ready to RMA it and thought I should google "problem" and "fe991sb". amazons reviews are in the top ten. I also get the white lines moving up and down my screen AND random screen movements. Glad this thing has a 3 year warrenty (and i paid by CC so I have a recept). Just hope I dont get raped on shipping charges to get it fixed

This is the perfect monitor for you if you like to spend $300 bucks on another 19" monitor after two years. I am amazed to read that I am not the only with the flickering problem and the white horizontal line. I wonder if the other people with the same problem fix it like I do. By slapping it hard on the side until the white line goes away. They say you get what you pay for. But I didn't know that $300 bucks would get me this piece of $#!+ Other than that it is a perfectly fine looking monitor. [...]

I purchased this monitor 3/2003 and it worked perfectly until last month. It has developed the same problem many other users have reported, it flickers for a couple of moments then the image condenses into a very bright horizontal line (approximatley 1mm) across the center of the screen with all else going black. I was under the impression that the monitor was made in Japan but they are made in China.
I will never buy another NEC/Mitsubishi produst.
