The only discernible difference between the two NEC/Mitsubishi monitors I can tell is that the more expensive DP has a Mitsubishi logo on the front whereas the nearly $100 lighter FP appears to be the NEC variation of the product. My first instinct is to lean towards the less expensive NEC monitor, but then I get to wondering why it's so much less...
As far as the ViewSonic monitor is concerned, I already have a P95f+B and find its quality decent. I'm not impressed with it and judging by some of the newegg reviews (mostly the ones that sound intelligent) I'm thinking the NEC is probably the best here.
Any suggestions, experiences, or links to reviews and comparisons are welcome. I've been lurking here for a little while and this seems like a great group. |
All the monitors you have selected or linked to are the same tube. The DP series are just tubes off the same manufacturing line that tested better in qual; namely in areas of electron beam eV spec and color accuracy. Unless you're making Shrek 3 for Dreamworks or imaging a future space shuttle for Lockheed Martin, you won't notice the difference. So, I would look for the best price for the NEC. The Viewsonic tubes are OEM'ed from NEC/Mistubishi and I don't know about their internal qual process.
