Our Picks
Here are the displays we recommend. For our latest recommendations, detailed by brand and model, visit our web site, which is listed below.
- 15” and 17” budget CRT displays
NEC AccuSync. NEC is a first-tier maker that happens to have some very aggressively priced low-end models. Image quality and build quality are a step above monitors from second- and third-tier makers that sell for only a bit less. NEC provides a three-year warranty on their low-end models, which is a good indication in itself of their quality. ( http://www.necmitsubishi.com)

Hitachi. We’ve used hundreds of first-tier monitors over the last fifteen years, and of that group we prefer Hitachi monitors.

Comparable NEC/Mitsubishi and Sony monitors are excellent products, but when we have a choice we specify Hitachi. If you want a rugged, reliable CRT with top-notch image quality, we recommend you do the same. (http://www.hitachidisplays.com)

Fujitsu also produces excellent FPDs, but they are more difficult to find at retail than Hitachi models. (http://www.hitachidisplays.com)
