  • Vibrant colors & excellent contrast

    Sep 25 '00
    Pros: vibrant colors, excellent contrast, affordable price
    Cons: drivers not included and must be downloaded from the web

    Summary: Although I really wanted a 19" monitor, because I already had a Matrox G400 MAX Dualhead graphics card which can power two monitors simultaneously, I opted to get two 17's since I would otherwise only be able to get one 19". After reading many ... read more

  • Excellent monitor ... even better price

    Sep 03 '02
    Pros: Aperture grille, price
    Cons: Not the best resolution and refresh rate

    Summary: If you're looking for an entry level 17" monitor, look no further than the NEC FE700+. Not only is it flat screen but it's also has an aperture grille CRT, usually found on higher end monitors. Compared to a shadow mask CRT found on less expensive ... read more

  • Decent monitor, but there's better

    Dec 26 '01
    Pros: Black case, excellent color quality, excellent picture quality, great color
    Cons: Poor screen geometry, lack of adequate geometry controls, no driver CD

    Summary: I've always been a user of NEC monitors since I purchased my first computer 7 years ago. I worked at a ComputerLand and had seen many, many different types of hardware be sold and serviced and had the opportunity to try many of the products side-by-side. ... read more

  • NEC Multisync FE 700+

    Dec 20 '01
    Pros: Large viewable area, and nice crisp color images
    Cons: No driver CD with monitor.

    Summary: I purchased the NEC Multisync FE 700+ for a new PC that I had purchased for my wife at the same time. The Display that came with the PC was quite a bit more expensive and the sales staff at the location recommended the NEC as a lower cost alternative ... read more

  • NEC , King of the flat screens.

    Nov 20 '01
    Pros: Excellent resolution, small footprint, flat screen and great price to boot.
    Cons: Screen is sensitive to bright light.

    Summary: After countless hours searching for a 17" flat screen CRT I finally settled on the NEC FE700+ and I'm very happy with my purchase. I read countless magazine articles, searched the net for reviews and hit the stores to see for myself. I had narrowed the ... read more

  • FE700+ Offers Inconsistent Performance / Quality

    Sep 07 '01
    Pros: bright, crisp colors, great OSD and low cost (its on rebate)
    Cons: bad geometry, screen hiccups, smells like @$$

    Summary: The short story about the NEC Multisync FE700+ is that companies like NEC/Mitsubishi and Samsung sell a buttload of monitors. Being in the volume business, they are subject to inconsistent quality of a factory line. In the store, and at home ... read more

  • NEC MultiSync FE700

    Jun 10 '01
    Pros: Digital Adjustment Features!
    Cons: Depth is rather large.

    Summary: The NEC MultiSync FE700 is a good monitor for all computers. The screen size is slightly over 17". The picture quality is very sharp. The monitor however has some bad dimensions. The monitor is rather deep, but that is all right if you have the ... read more

  • Slight disappointment...

    May 16 '01
    Pros: Size, clarity, sharp
    Cons: Lines across the screen, and I seem to need to degauss more than I should.

    Summary: After spending the time and money of picking what seems to be the perfect monitor for you, you should live happily ever after. Right??? Wrong. I think for the price, I shouldn't have Rainbow colored screen once a month that I have to degauss. I shouldn't ... read more

  • Poor Quality Monitor

    Jan 05 '01
    Pros: Cost
    Cons: Poor display quality

    Summary: I am not impressed with my NEC MultiSync FE700 Monitor. The edges have always been distorted and are curved in the corners. There is also a solid line running horizontal across my screen when I am viewing white. I use a Dell monitor at work and the ... read more

  • Good monitor if working

    Dec 14 '00
    Pros: Good overall monitor
    Cons: Shitty customer care and service in Italy

    Summary: The Fe700 is a overall good monitor, if happens to you to discover one working. Yaeh, the thruth is that there are a large number of Fe700 with flaws from the factory. It's now the second that I exchange because all two monitors I had had a strange ... read more

    Nov 27 '00
    Pros: Flat screen, great resolution support. No noise. Less glare.
    Cons: Poor mac support

    Summary: No wonder its in the top10 monitors of the world. I have always had a liking for NEC. They always make quality products. This FE700 is no different. A great flat-screen, rich vibrant colours, and high refresh rates, this monitor leaves all others in the ... read more

    Nov 20 '00
    Pros: vibrant colors, excellent clarity
    Cons: firmware, price
