dbodily's Full Review: Nokia 447 XS 17 inch CRT Monitor
Well the Nokia monitors which I deal with Daily are the 447 XS. These are much better than the 14 or 15 inch monitors they are replacing. these monitor are ok quality and the image is good. I prefer not to have to replace these monitors with Nokia monitors unless I have to or the option is a phillips monitor.
My biggest complaint with these monitors is that after a while they need to go in for service because the display does not stay crisp. when you are doing word processing and and non graphics intensive computing the screen is fine and you do not notice the fuzziness as quickly but when you are using cad applications or dealing with photos and precision is necessary then it becomes more obvious. another common occurance is the screen going green or purple. Although this can be because of the video cable it is commonly the screen as well.
For a at home use monitor that does not get the abuse of a business and engineering environment this monitor is probably great and a good deal for the dollar, but if you are looking for a screen for the office this may not be the most cost effective monitor on the block.
