Hows the Envision EN775e monitor?

[Sniper82]

Looking for a new 17" CRT monitor and this one dude has one brand new for $90 shipped. Do these monitors have a nice picture on them is it really worth it? Or should I go with something else? I am wanting to stay in the $100 range as far as price.

Thanks

I'm using the En-770e monitor with does the same resolutions but at slower refresh rates. I'm currently at 1024x768 @85hz and the picture is great. Very crisp and sharp. My Dad's En-775e is awesome, same crisp picture and sharp test but he can do 1280x1024@85hz, drool!!

I'm using one right now. I wanted to pick up a cheap monitor for my rig and I'm surprised by the quality of it so far. It has great picture quality. Very nice monitor overall, but the bottom of the screen is sightly curved inward. You can hardly notice it though. Oh, and another thing; if you plan on running the monitor at a higher rez than 1024x768, forget it. It will work, but the refresh rate is enough to blind you. At least, that's how it seems like to me.

That's only with the En-770e. 1280x1024@85hz was awesome on my Dad's En-775e.

well anything higher than 1024x768 on a 17" is to small IMO. I think I will pick one up.

Any other opinions?

For a cheaper monitor maker, Envision makes some good monitors. I had the EN-985E and it was a great monitor, but I took it back because I found a really good deal on a Viewsonic.

How do they compare with newer lowend KDS flatscreen monitors?

anyone else have one?
