- I just picked up on this thread, but given the subject, I'd like to
- recommend the Nanao F550i to those of you who are looking for a very
- nice full-featured 17" monitor for under $1100 (it goes for around
- $1148 US from Hi-Tech USA...AKA Dee-One Systems).
-
- *The* best frequency specs you're going to find is on the NEC 5FG
- but it's more expensive and has the smallest screen real-estate of
- the 17"'ers I've seen (15.3" diagonal). It also has lotsa glare if you
- don't buy their $120 anti-glare cover.
-
- I don't think 1280x1024 is a consideration for the 17" lot...even if
- your monitor can handle the frequency requirements, it's just not enough
- space to be practical...1152x900 is more like it and you should be happy
- with this (or you need to buy a bigger monitor).
-
- Anyway, here are the specs on the Nanao F550i:
-
- Tube: Mitsubishi (the T560i is the Trinitron tube but it's pricey)
- Max. horiz. scan freq.: 65Kzh
- Max. vert. scan freq.: 80Hz
- Max. video bandwidth: 80MHz (will easily handle 1152x900)
- Connectors: 9-pin D-SUB / 5-BNC
- Screen Diagonal: 15.8"
-
- Comments:
-
- Complies with Swedish standard requirement against low freq.,(MPR-II)
-
- Full digital control that includes positioning, barrel and pin-
- cushioning *and* color adjustment. Settings can be saved to the
- on-board microprocessor.
-
- Adjusting this monitor is so easy...it's got the best ergonomic
- monitor design I've ever seen.
-
- It is FCC-A approved...I live in an apartment with no cable and
- the neighbors haven't been complaining, my TV works (I don't
- have cable) and I listen to the radio without distortion all of
- the time.
-
- I don't believe you can get a more full-featured 17" monitor below
- $1100 US than this one.
