| ortica's Full Review: NEC Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 91 19 inch CRT Monitor |
The Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 91 Natural Flat is, without a doubt, the best monitor I have ever used.
The monitor uses an aperture grill display, meaning that there are two very fine lines running horizontally across the display, one about 30% from the top and the other about 20% above the bottom. The lines are typically only noticeable when a white image or document is shown, and even then, are easily ignored.
The display is perfectly flat; the quality of the display shocked me when I first used it. The monitor does not appear concave due to the flat face because of geometric enhancments made by Mitsubishi. It is easy to transition from using a regular, convex monitor, to using this display, since your eyes adjust to different enviroments constantly, this transition being no different.
The Fine Picture Mode feature on the displays adjusts the display so the pictures appear much more rich and vibrant. This feature is amazing. I was absolutely in awe the first time I tried it out with a few high resolution.
Additionally, the On Screen Display controls are very easier to use and allow the user to tweak every possible setting imaginable. The only complaint I have with the OSD is that it lacks a back button, forcing users to cycle through all of the options in the particular category if they miss the desired setting. However, this is a relatively minor quibble.
No moire distortion was experienced when using the display.
Through my experiences with the display, the best resolution to run the display at is 1280x1024 at 85hz. This resolution shows text very sharply and displays an absolutely flicker free image. When running the display at 1600x1200 at 75hz, text becomes too small to be comfortably read.
Quake 3 Arena looks absolutely stunning at 1024x768 at 32 bit when run on this display. Image quality is nothing short of amazing.
The Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 91 is a incredible display, especially for its very reasonable price.
