Anyone own Mitsubishi Diamond Pro DP2070SB!!

[BigDog]

I would like to hear from anyone who owns a Mitsubish Diamond Pro DP2070SB.
I am seriously considering purchasing this monitor and would like to hear from anyone who actually owns this particular model!

Questions:

Text Quality: (2D) at various resolutions (especially 1600x1200 and above)
Display quality in generalsharpness, brightness, contrast, convergence, moiré, purity, legibility)
Color rendering
Refresh rates.

Any information would be Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

OK, I have the NEC FP2141SB, which according to NEC-Mitsu's own level two techs, is IDENTICAL in every way to the DP2070SB.

I'll attempt to address your list:

Text quality: Good at all resolutions, I'm not a stickler for text quality though, but after using this monitor, I can identify poor text on other monitors much more easily. 9/10

Sharpness/Legibility: Very, very good, but my Hitachi CM771 (.22mm stripe pitch) is actually better in this regard. 9/10

Brightness: SuperBright says it all, this thing is bright beyond usefullness if you want it to be. 10/10

Contrast: Stellar, colors differentiate unbelievably well. 10/10

Convergence: Perfect on all the ones I went through. 10/10

Moire: A problem on my Hitachi, there is no trace of any problems on the NEC. 10/10

Purity: Very good, gets better with use as the "dirty" look in the corners or the vertical lines on the screen go away with degaussing. Not perfect, however. 8/10

Color Rendering: My favorite aspect of it. Colors are much, much better on the NEC than on my Hitachi, which looks bland to me now. 10/10

Geometry: Splendid, NaviSet even makes it easier. Some resolutions, naturally, are tougher to set than others, and geometry is NEVER perfect. Well, maybe LCDs can have perfect geometry 9/10

Refresh Rates: You name it, it'll probably do it. My video card (ATi Radeon 9700 Pro) is actually the bottleneck. Still, 2048x1536 @ 85Hz? More than I'll use. 10/10

Problems: TourGuide, myself, and a guy called Muse all went through the same ordeal. BUY FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. I think Muse and TourGuide went through two monitors, and I went through three. NEC/Mitsu's customer service is top notch, by the way, so I'd suggest dealing with them before your retailer. I don't remember their particular problems, I think they were geometry related (a problem I never encountered), but my problems were a series of dead phosphors on the screen (black dots) on monitor two, and whacked out vertical linearity on monitor one. Good luck.

I have the 2060u which is the prior model. You will absolutely love that monitor if they don't tear it up during shipping. It took me 2 times to get one that wasn't dropped during shipping (very large and heavy box). Perfect geometry, dark rich colors, excellent text depending on your video card of course. And the dot pitch is uniform so the text is as clear on the corners as it is in the middle. If I get another monitor it will definitely be the 2070 model. TH gave it a best of for 2002 (2060u model) for what that's worth. I have never read a bad review of that monitor.

I also own the 2060u....he wants to know about the 2070sb not the 2070u. They are two different monitors but Im sure he will love either one.

Thanks so much FacelessNobody,

EXCELLENT reply ... just what I was looking for.

From the sounds of it this is THE monitor to buy in its price range. Would you concur?

Thanks Again!
