- Thanks to those who responded to my post about problems with my 4FG. From
- the responses I received, it appears that quite a few people have
- experienced the same problems that I have ie. tilted picture and blurry/
- fuziness in corners. It seems however, that no one has found a solution to
- these problems and many vendors don't want to even deal with it. My
- second 4FG is still at the service center, and if they don't adjust this one
- properly, I am going to ask for my money back. Some people also reported
- problems with the 5FG, so the whole FG line may have quality control
- problems. NEC is supposed to be a reputable company, but they don't seem to
- be doing much about this QC problem. There were a couple of people who
- responded who said that they had several 4FG's in an office situation and
- that most of them were fine but a couple had to be returned or adjusted. So,
- there is perhaps some 4FG's that don't have the problems, although both my
- new ones had the problems. Some people felt that the problems were worth
- living with because of the great brightness + sharpness of the display. In
- my opinion, if you are paying for top of the line equipment you expect a top
- quality product and the 4FG falls short in this regard. NEC must have heard
- about these problems since so many people have experienced them, so why aren'
- t they doing anything? Are there any 4FG owners who want to get together and
- write some letters of complaint to NEC? I am going to write one myself, but
- if I could get some others to do the same, we might get a response.
