Hey guys. Big surpise.. i selected 5 day shipping but it only took one day to get here.. Guess the people I bought it from have a warehouse in New Jersey. The monitor looks great! Color is awesome.. and geometry is acceptable. Theres a slight bow in the top, and there isnt an adjustment to bow out the top/bottom.. In my opinion I'd be being overly picky about it though since its a really small curve and I dont notice it much.
However, I sat here for about 2 hours wondering WHY THE HECK IS MY TEXT SO BLURRY. I messed with the convergence like 10 times. Did the whole adjusting the focus using the 2 holes on the side. Compared to my sony GDM F500R which i'm now using wiht my Mits DP2070SB in a dual setup.. the text was horrible. Then I remembered the whole refresh rate thing.. and at 60-70 htz its fine.. above that and it gets god awful!!!!!!! Even at the 60-70 htz its not as good as the sony.. but that might be becaues my sony is .22mm aperature grille while the Mits. is .24
Anyway, what I was wondering is if any of you have heard anything official from NEC concerning this?? This is extremely weird how my sony F500R which has a manufacture date of 1999 can easily out-perform this brand new monitor???? It just doesnt seem right.. and it kind of angers me that I spent a lot of money on a monitor that looks like crap whenever I set it to a refresh rate that wont have my eyes rolling in the back of my head after a couple hours!!
Other than the blurry text though, I'd have to say its an excellent monitor. I love the casing design. It has a really small footprint. The controls to the OSD are a little annoying (I'm used to a joystick that controls the whole thing with the stick and a button.. which is the stick too.) The colors are excellent. I've done the whole spot check and i dont have any dead pixels at all.
Anyway, if any of you guys know anything about the refresh rate issue please let me know. If not I'm going to e-mail or call Nec/mits and see if they are aware of the issue and are planning on doing anything about it.
Thanks!!
