Product Description

NEC Display Solutions didn't just modify the screens on its new MultiSync FE Series CRT monitors. It made them flat. Perfectly flat, to give you a distinct advantage over ordinary, curved-screen monitors. Yes, the image is noticeably clearer and more accurate. But they also drastically reduce glare and reflection for less user fatigue. One more difference - the value. These flat-screened CRT monitors deliver the quality you expect from the leading-edge technology of NEC? at a very affordable price.The MultiSync FE family offers five totally flat-screened monitors. One thing you'll find in common with every member of the MultiSync FE Series - the flat-screen clarity and reduced glare that make the computing experience more enjoyable than ever.

Amazon.com Product Description

The FE950+ Totally Flat 19-inch monitor uses a flat aperture grille tube to display images with greater sharpness and reduced glare and reflection. Combined with a 0.25 to 0.27-millimeter variable dot pitch, this monitor provides remarkable picture clarity.

This is also a comfortable monitor for your eyes, making it ideal for situations requiring extensive use. At the recommended 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, the refresh rate is a flicker-free 85 Hz. Displayed on the 18-inch viewable screen, you'll be able to fit more on-screen for better convenience and productivity.

Additional features include OptiClear screen treatment which further reduces glare without distorting picture for high-contrast imaging. NEC's On-Screen Manager lets you tweak monitor settings through an onscreen menu system for quick and convenient adjustments.

NEC covers this monitor with a three-year parts and labor warranty.

This is a great monitor.......2002-07-19

I tried a few monitors before I found this one. I actually bought and took back four other 19" monitors. The only other one that even could compare with the picture quality was the Sony that I tried. But that one gave me bad headaches for whatever reason. This FE950+ is a great monitor. The color looks great, and the text is VERY clear. The style of the monitor is very plane. I wish they would make them nicer to look at, but the actual picture is just beautiful! Mine came with a defect on the plastic casing. I actually bought mine at Circuit City online, and the one I bought was the last one. They are no longer carrying this model. So, I am settling for this one even though the case has the defect just because the picture quality is so good. I've only had this monitor about three days now, so hopefully it will last. I definitely rate this five stars!!!

NEC , Nineteen is the King!.......2002-06-02

Because the prices for the monitors are down, I thought about replacing my 15" monitor with a better one. I 'surfed' around the 'Net, looked around the electronics store and found that NEC Multi-Sync FE950+ gives the best view performance. I specially liked the built-in glare screen that made 'staring' at the screen less stressful to the eyes. The only small drawback that I noticed was the loud 'hum' that the monitor makes when you turn it on but like all things, you get used to it. Sure there's a lot of cheap 19" monitors out there but do you really want to buy another monitor next year to replace the cheap one you just bought? For the first time buyers, NEC is one of the most reliable name in electronics. You can do no wrong in buying this product.

Awesome Monitor!.......2002-05-06

Let me start by saying NEC manufactures outstanding monitors! I'm the conputer, data entry, secretary person at our family owned & ran automotive garage (we do fleet service for companies such as Art Van Furniture up here in Michigan). The Offices are directly connected to the service (garage) area. The office area accumaltes lots of Greasy dust, as well as our computers. This greasy dust has killed 2 computer systems but we have 2 9-yr old NEC MultiSync XV17 shadow mask monitors that are still running strong. The monitor I replaced was an NEC MultiSync XV17+ shadow mask monitor that was 10 years old & with a failing picture tube still gave great graphics.

I had much apprehension about getting an aperture grille monitor because of all the hoopla about the 2 visible lines that run horizontially across the screen. In fact, I decided to go with the Pioneer 19" shadow mask space saver ...but after waiting weeks without it shipping I began looking again. I read various reviews that stated: if you play alot of games & do a lot of graphic intensive work on your PC then you want an aperture grille monitor. So I canceled the order for Pioneer monitor & Purchased this monitor instead.

This is an awesome monitor. The graphics are extremely crip & clear. The anti-glare screen makes looking at the monitor for hours easy on the eyes. The price is unbelievably low for the quality.

As for those 2 lines. They are visible, especially on really light backgrounds. But I had to stare long & hard to find both of them. They're extremely faint & about as thick as thin strand of light-gray hair. I use my computer to watch DVD's; to play games such as the Myst series & the Longest Journey; to run programs such as Bryce 3D & Poser; & to run Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, & Access). MS Word is the only program that I've noticed the 2 lines in, but once I get some text up on the screen the lines pretty much disappear into the background.

If you spend most of your time in Word Processing programs then you should buy a shadow mask monior. If you run a lot of graphic intensive programs then you'll love this monitor.

Terrific Monitor.......2002-02-15

At first I wanted a flat-panel monitor, but I realized that I could get a very-high quality big screen monitor for less money, like this one. The NEC Multisync FE950+ flat screen 19" monitor truly delivers high quality for a low price. It's bright and beautiful, even going up to 1792 x 1344 maximum resolution at 68 Hz, with a 0.25 to 0.27mm variable dot pitch. Most people will keep their resolution at 1280 x 1024, which enables a completely flick-free refresh rate at 85 Hz. There have been some comments about the two very faint lines which run horizontally. I didn't notice them at all except against completely white backgrounds (which are rare except for Word and some web pages). These barely noticeable lines are negligible and make little difference in the overall great quality you get with this monitor. Also- the comment has already been made that ALL aperture grille monitors have these two lines, and if you want great color and picture quality you'll have to go for an aperture grill monitor. Another great thing about this NEC is the small footprint it leaves for such a large screen size- the height, width, and depth are all roughly 17 ½" (which is quite small). There are numerous controls to customize the screen (size, color, etc), more control than you'll ever really need probably (but it's sure nice to have as many options as possible). Like all 19" monitors it's really only 18" viewable, but I find this to be big enough whether I'm surfing the web or watching a DVD. I really was pleased with this monitor; it's not very expensive and not too bulky, yet still delivers very high quality performance. I highly recommend this product.

Perfect...even with those lines........2001-12-25

DeityLord below me has noted the lines and he's right, but there's an explanation in the manual which says these lines are normal for an aperture grill monitor. Matter of fact, I never noticed these (and I had to look hard) until I read his rating and that's because they're only "highly" visible when you're working on a white screen. Therefore, if your primary need is word processing, they could be annoying.

Being as most of my use is internet and photo work, they're hardly there and from the moment I plugged it in, the 950 was perfect. It's a beautiful image, great colors, and I didn't have to do a single bit of tweaking as the factory settings were just the way I like them.

The price is certainly right here, and at just over three hundred bucks (shop around!) this will do me just fine until the next upgrade or a better and newer technology becomes affordable.
