Old School - the only way to go |
The NEC AccuSync 120 CRT monitor is definitely old school, but I still think that CRTs are the way to go.
I've tried a few LCD widescreen monitors, but I am not a fan. I don't like the fact that you are virtually forced into using a ridiculously high resolution for your desktop if you want a crisp display. I also don't like having to view web pages down the center of the browser window if the site doesn't support widescreen formats. Let's not even get into the viewing angle issues.
The AccuSync is BIG and HEAVY (70 lbs.), but that's to be expected with a CRT-based monitor. I removed the pedestal base and placed the monitor on my desk's shelf. I did have to add a 2x4 for support at the center of the shelf for fear that this baby would break it in half!
The 20" viewable area of the monitor is crisp and sharp. There are a plethora of adjustments (7 to be exact) available to overcome the drawbacks of CRT-based displays (pincushion, tilt, etc.) I wish the brightness control had more range, because on my system it never seems to go quite dark enough (even on the min setting). I have to use nVidia's control panel to get more range from the brightness.
For game play and general use, I don't think a CRT can be beat. Also, you can run it in virtually any supported resolution/scan rate and you'll get a wonderful picture every time.
CRTs are in short supply, and I feel that LCDs are being forced on the end-user much as CDs were, so grab one of these gems up before they are no longer available.

Very Good Monitor - Lame Description |
I have this model monitor (in a tan cabinet) and mine is a very good montor. However, by no stretch of the imagination can this be called a flat-screen monitor. This description is misleading and should be changed. One can even see the curve in the photo.

Best 21 CRT for the money |
|
Wife is a Graphic Designer and Photographer. LCD just can't match the clarity and color accuracy of CRTs and size certainly matters when you are juggling 3 or 4 programs open at the same time. This is the second NEC Accusyc 120 we've purchased. The first one has been going strong for over 1 year. |

NEC Accusync 120-BK CRT Monitor Ain't Too Shabby |
I am replacing a nice 8 year old Viewsonic G810 CRT monitor. I find that the text is much easier to read on the new Accusync 120-BK. The focus is uniform from top to bottom and side to side. I find the images bright and contrasty--not at all washed out. The colors are vibrant on my old NVIDIA
7950 GT video card at 1024x768 at 85 Hz. There is a trace of minor blue shift on the far left and far right.
Altogether, it is a fine monitor that beats the stuffings out of any LED flat panel at twice the price. If you are on a tight budget and can have someone lift the 60 pound monitor onto your desk then get this monitor. |

One of the few of its kind left |
|
Graphic designers still use CRT monitors because the color is more accurate that the LCDs. I only got this one because there wasn't much choice in a CRT at 21 inches. I wouldn't call this a flat screen...there is a definate curve to the screen. Except for that, I have no complaints. It's a quality monitor for graphic work for print production. |
