Fortunately, I got one of the last NEC 2111fe's a few months ago. I use a NEC 1250fe at work (aperature grill) and the lines are not even on my radar screen. They seem to fade with time and I have to hunt for them if I want to find them. Anyway, this should hold me for a few years. I want an LCD that is less bright than the ones of tried and I want one that will be 20" or above and *not* tied to 1600 lines of resolution (too tiny). Hopefully that stuff will get straightened out in a few years.:thumbsup:
