Due to this forum. I have contributed my share(big) of national comsumer debt through my CC. Payback time is up.

NEC monitor 22" (20 VIS) monitor. Dual input with Digital input too (DVI) and control throught USB. But it's 74lb, humogus...
Some ppl might prefer the Sony deal (yes, and they lowered G520's price too, think its 789, not sure)

Buy it with the auto-20% off, from 759 to 609, then head to the NEC-Mitsubishi site for a 50 rebate, good through June 30. 559 shipped for a 22"/21" monitor with digital, I think it's hot...
PS. Someone plz linkify it...

Wait a second. This thing isn't flat? It looks like it's curved bigtime in the Spec pdf.

Hmmmmm. Any thoughts?

Dude I assure you it isn't round in any angle. It retails for 1000. It's perfect flat. And max resolution is 1920*1440
I checked all the review, mostly said it's really good. For analog, it might not beat Sony, but it's got a DVI input. And I always wanted to test it with DVD, see if any different.

I think ppl need monitor should really looka the dell today, 20% off, free shipping, no tax in CA even. I think nobody can beat this deal. Even not for this model, G520 is pretty sweet too...:)

There's also the NEC FP1370. And this one has a $75 NEC rebate. I spent a couple hours today doing research on all the possible monitors from the Dell site (Shhh... don't tell my manager), and ended up deciding on the 1370. It's got a tighter dot-pitch than the 1350 and 1350x. But, that DVI-I option sure is cool though. Anyways, the price difference after rebates is only 50 bucks, so either monitor would probably be cool. I heard of people having problems from the refurb-ed ones they got from that tigerdirect deal. But, I'm hoping since these are new, they won't have those same problems.

But, I don't think any of us can really go wrong with any of these monitors. No matter which one we pick, we're getting around 25% off the lowest price from pricewatch. I'm just >praying< it arrives in good condition. I've ordered 3 (THREE!!!) monitors in the past 3 months and every single one had problems. A 19&quot; compaq, 21&quot; Philips and 21&quot; HP (Just sent it out for return today). It's sort of a running joke in my house that I'm destined never to get a perfect monitor. :)

BTW, I'd like to thank whoever first posted about this deal (The other thread's getting a little long, so I'll say it here). I knew about the 20% off coupon, but I had no idea that Dell sold stand-alone monitors. I've been getting so depressed about my failures in acquiring a monitor that I was actually gonna go buy one for retail (GASP!!!). I know, I know... Paying full price is like the anti-thesis of being an anandtech hotdeals member. :)

Blech 1600x1200 at 60Hz with the DVI.

DVI with LCDs is nice since it is a digital display and refresh doesn't matter. With CRTs, it seems a little dumb. I bet the picture will be nicer due to no analog loss, but 1024x768 on a 20&quot; VIS is gonna look BIG.

OMG! I can't believe I'm going to drop $600 on this deal.. DAMN YOU people! I think I'm going with the FP1370 too.. it has some awesome resolution and refresh numbers. Oh well, at least I'm upgrading from a 17&quot;er.

SamS: Watch out, though. I placed an order yesterday and everything seemed to be going smoothly (from the order status thing). But, when I checked this morning, it said they were out of them and have placed an order for add'l units (of the FP1370). I've tried calling them a few times, but was on hold for a while and didn't want to sit around waiting for it. ARGH!!!! I'm a little worried about whether the NEC rebate's gonna work if you place the order before June 30, but don't actually have it billed or shipped out before that date. Tried calling the rebate number, but kept getting their automated message. Argh...

satori. I actually decided to get the FP1350X.. I like the DVI inputs and it is a bit cheaper. the FP1370 has a bit higher refresh at high resolutions and .01 smaller dot pitch.. but I think the quality of the FP1350X is better. Hopefully that one is in stock.

Yeah they posted as ran out of stock. But I called them, they should have it and be shipping real soon.
I dunno, the sony G520 is now 769, making it to be the same as the FP1370. I agreed with satori the 1370 is better, But if you were to do the 1370, might as well the G520 then. I did a search for the 1370 on price search engines, came back as 799 + ship, so the dell is overpricing for the 1370 at 850. on the other hand the sony is under priced IMHO. So the same price, G520 sounds better.

That's why the choice should be 1350X and sony G520 now. Before the deal's over, these two are the best deal to get.

PS. Price search on 1350X is 700+ ship, so 559 shipped is a DEAL no doubt...

I am unable to get the 20% off at the Dell site on the fp1350x. When I place it in the cart there is no deduction. Does the 20% off not apply to this monitor?

I know it's still in effect until July 3. My question is if it's possible to get this monitor on 20% off. I could get the Dell stuff like P991 with 20% off in the cart but not this fp1350x.

Is anyone else able to get the 20% off on this monitor?

Mahdi: Yah, I debated for a long time between these three models (was reading the specs on all of them during one of my meetings). The problem is that it's just so hard to really figure out which monitor looks the best w/o actually seeing them live. And price is definitely something that can't be used (to a certain extent), because none of us have access to the actual components inside (Deflection yokes, dsp chips, blah blah).

edit: I meant we can't use price, because we can't automatically assume that something more expensive automatically gives a better image level. I had an HP P1120 at one point, which you'd think would be about the same quality as the G500, G520, 1370, etc. But, the HP, from the cheapest pricewatch dealer, goes for $1000 shipped.

Anyways, from a pricewatch standpoint, the Sony can be bought for $800. The 1370 for $850 and the 1350x for $750 (all three prices include shipping). I did ogle at the beauty of the Sony though. You gotta give it to their designers... they do know how to make awesome looking cases. I was initially turned off from the 1370 because of the (IMHO) fugly case. But, in the end, I'm hoping the 1370 will give the best picture.

disclaimer again: I haven't seen these monitors in person, so I'm basing this conclusion on their specs, competitor's specs, previous-model specs and some business logic. Could be all BS in the end, but hey, this is part of the fun huh? :)

oh yeah, this could all be moot too, if they end up not shipping these out. My order's still on backorder. :(

Woohoo! My FP1350X just showed up at the door (good thing I came home early).. The UPS chick (hottie btw) said she could NOT leave it out front so beware of this. You need to be present.

Anyway, I opened the box and it includes a DVI-D to DVI-D cable and a Analog to DVI-D cable. Since my Geeforce2 only has an analog out, I have to use the Analog to DVI-D cable. Note that the back of the monitor has 4 inputs - power, USB, DVI-D, Analog. But, I can't use the analog since the included cables will only plug into the DVI-D connection. In other words, I need an Analog to Analog cable to use the monitor's analog connection. Does that make sense?

The problem is that right now I can only do 1600x1200 @ 60Hz -- AHH! Please somebody who has figured this out please help. I wanna be able to run at 1920x1440@76Hz if I want to.. but right now I can only do a max of 1600x1200 and only at 60Hz.. and that sucks.

Any ideas?

ilikemovie: I already got that file and am using those drivers. So, that wasn't the problem.

I just got off the phone with NEC-Mitsubishi support and they said that I need to go out and buy an Analog-Analog cable. The monitor is apparently detecting a digital connection because the included cable is Analog-DVID. I think it is stupid that they don't include the Analog-Analog cable when they know it will limit your resolution/refresh! That sucks, now I have to go buy a cable for this monster.

SamS: A read a review about the 1350x and the guy mentioned the ghosting problem. I think he said it got a little better by replacing the analog cable. Did you see the ghosting when you were using the DVI converter? Also, is it evident in all resolutions? My friend's monitor (older Mitsubishi diamondtron monitor) has a problem with ghosting at 1280x960, but it goes away at 1280x1024. Anyways, I'm jealous your's arrived (even with the problems). My 1370 isn't shipping until the 16th... argh... :)

I just went out and bought the most expensive analog monitor cable and it helped a little.. but I can still see some slight ghosting.. could it be my computer speakers or my geeforce2 or soemthing? This monitor is nice but it is WAY to sensitive!

BTW, except for this ghosting problem and a lack of a analog-analog cable, I LOVE this thing. The picture quality and the flat screen are amazing! The screen space is a LOT bigger than I had thought. I can run at the highest resolutions and still read 8 pt font text. If anybody else ordered this monitor -- you will not be disspaointed. Great investement.

Sams: Oh, I forgot the link to the web page that had the 2 reviews.

http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/ratings/0,11246,431520,00.html

I just reread it real quick and it seemed like the guy did the same thing; replaced the analog cable and got rid of most of the ghosting, but not all of it.

BTW, how's the geometry on it? That's been the biggest problem I've had with monitors... the lines on the edges just weren't quite straight.

Oh, have you also done the filter-mod on your GeForce2?
