NEC Corporation CRT Monitors

The Bottom Line: Though CRTs are moving toward obsolescence, the NEC MultiSync FE992 offers good performance and a lot of screen real estate for a low price.

Specs: Display / CRT, 19 in, 1600 x 1200 / 75 Hz, 0.25 mm

The Bottom Line: This reasonably priced jumbo CRT performs well, but it's hard to adjust and lacking in pizzazz.

Specs: Display / CRT, 22 in, 1920 x 1440 / 76 Hz, 0.24 mm

The Bottom Line: NEC's MultiSync FP912SB offers decent image quality and vibrant colors, but it's quite expensive for a 19-inch CRT.

Specs: Display / CRT, 19 in, 1920 x 1440 / 73 Hz, 0.24 mm

The Bottom Line: If you care about seeing only photos and other graphics in all their glorious color, you'll like the FE991SB. But if you work with written documents, be prepared for blurry text.

Specs: Display / CRT, 19 in, 1792 x 1344 / 68 Hz, 0.25 mm

The Bottom Line: The AccuSync 95F's excellent color quality means it could be a good low-end, low-priced graphics display, but focus and contrast problems make it a bad choice for basic business or home use.

Specs: Display / CRT, 19 in, 1600 x 1200 / 76 Hz, 0.2 mm
