NEC E700 Monitor?

[htmlmasterdave]

Anyone know if this monitor is any good? I have a 17" 16.0 viewable right now, but only 60hz at 1280. This NEC can do 1600 at 65hz. Any opinions?

I have a NEC E750 right now and it was pretty good back in the day when I bought it.
It's not flat but its not a fishing bowl. Mine does 1600x1200 at 70 Hz but I would not recommend running it at that res because the text is just too small. Besides at 65 Hz most people see the flicker. I see some flicker even at 85 Hz (depending on the lighting). Colors are pretty much balanced and text is really crisp.
If you want to run 1600 by 1200, buy a decent 19 inch because everything is simply too small + flicker on a 17 inch.
Beware of refurbs though...

EDIT: Oh btw, every monitor is unique and so even if you buy two of the same model, they may have slightly varying characteristics.

Ok, do you think that going from 16 viewable to 15.6 would be noticable?

I can't tell you about that monitor in particular, but I have owned an NEC monitor in the past and I thought it to be very high quality. It was much nicer than most people's at the time, even though it is not hard to find a nice 15" monitor anymore.

Oh well, I guess I'll just actually compare and choose
