Panasonic is my go to brand for televisions, they are definitely the best in my opinion. As far as monitors go I don't truly have a developed preference, but I would like a 120Hz monitor at some point.
Yeah, we have a lot of Viewsonic monitors at my job. They're pretty reliable. I have a HP 20in monitor. Nothing fancy. I think its 1440x900. Works good though.My son games on it. He has the 40in Phillips 1080p LCD in his room, and it has all the ports, so he could hook his PC up to it, but he prefers to sit at the CPU desk , and leave the tv for the Xbox, or Wii.Panasonic 42" 1080p LCD

I have a 240 hz Sony LED, 240 hz LG LCD (ew), Two Panasonics, and a Samsung LED. All are over 30 inches, mostly in the 40 inch range save for the Sony and the Panasonic which are over 50 inches.
One of the Panasonics is a Plasma, and it's the best I have in the house. Plasma advantages over LED ( which is already better than oldschool LCD) won me over, although I was worried at first when I was buying it. For a gamer, there is no way I'm going back to LED/LCD unless remarkable strides are made in that tech or I have no choice in 5 years.
Let's see. 53" Bravia LCD in Living Room. 42" Aquos LCD in bedroom (never gamed on this one). 3 22" Samsung LCD monitors on my racing rig. 26" Vizio LCD hanging on the wall above the treadmill and an old school 19" Aquos 4:3 LCD HDTV in my sons room. I prefer the Samsung monitors for gaming. I forget the exact model of them (bought them in 2008 or 2009), they are the Syncmasters though so they have great contrast and a super fast refresh rate. The 42" Aquos in the bedroom is my favorite for watching TV and movies. The Vizio is useless compared to the rest. Horrible viewing angle and the needs some serious calibrating.HadOne2ManyThose Sharp Aquos LCDs/LEDs have great pictures. I'm thinking of getting a 60in LED to hang on my living room wall, to replace my 55in Toshiba LED, but my wife would kill me! She says no more tvs at all! I can't help it. I love electronics. Lol

Lol Actually Sharp LED tvs are extremely mediocre. I would look at Panasonic VT50/ST50 Well, the picture looks great from what I've seen. The other thing is that we dont carry the Panasonic LED at my job. We do carry the plasma lineup of Panny but not any LEDs in their brand. I get stuff @ cost at my job, or else I would look into getting something like a Panasonic LED.

My favorite is the Toshiba REGZA. Picture and configuration-options beats the Aquos hands-down. And the speakers on the REGZA is superb - not even kidding, it sounds as good as my Bose Companion 2 speakers. The speakers on my bigger Aquos is simply garbage - sounds like they're made of cola cans.

Forgot to mention (and in case you couldn't tell) I'm a big fan of Dell. Great quality if you get their mid to high end range displays. I've literally never had a Dell monitor die on me and my new Dell IPS monitors are so easy on the eyes. I spend more time in front of them than a normal human being should thanks to work and at the end of the day I no longer want to claw my eyes out the way I used to with my previous monitors.
Only downshot is they are almost as expensive as Apple displays if you go for the high end IPS displays.

Thanks. Amazingly the one I'm most proud to own is the 27" Wells Gardner 800x600 monitor. Weights 90lbs and is incredibly low res, but I bought it for this:
Even at 800x600, if I run some HD video content I remember how good an old school quality CRT looked.

I knew exactly what you were using it for once I saw "Wells-Gardner" as the brand name. They only sell arcade monitors, and as you'd expect, arcade hardware doesn't come cheap. Perfect for 15 KHz 240p RGB sources all meant to be shown on CRTs like that, though this one's clearly capable of at least 31 KHz if it can do 800x600. More versatility sure doesn't hurt. I don't have one of those, but I do have an NEC MultiSync XV29 Plus presentation monitor, which does accept 15 KHz RGB signals from old consoles and goes all the way up to 1024x768 60 Hz, all on a whopping 29" screen that isn't too bulbous for a shadow-mask CRT. Unfortunately, there are some geometry and convergence problems I can't fix through the OSD alone, but I've still thought about building an arcade cabinet around it. Since it also has speakers, all I'd need to add to the cabinet are a power supply, JAMMA harness, sticks and buttons, and the arcade PCB of my choice.I knew exactly what you were using it for once I saw "Wells-Gardner" as the brand name.

Yeah, if you're familiar with the brand it's a dead giveaway since that's basically all they make. I bought mine just before they stopped making CRTs all together. Now they have an LCD that they produce that fits into the same mount. While a higher resolution monitor would have been nice, it just wouldn't be the same. Amazingly though, many of the PC ports of fighting games that I've tried will actually run at 800x600, like Street Fighter IV in the photo. I also managed to add the ability to plug a PS3 or 360 into the cabinet so I can play pretty much any fighting game I want on it between the three using the arcade controllers.
You probably already know this, but in case you don't pretty much all old CRTs have rotating pot switches inside underneath the bezel that allow you to adjust convergance and geometry beyond what the OSD is capable of. You can potentially use this to fix (or make worse if you aren't careful) the problems you are having with your NEC.
Should you decide that you want to build your own arcade cabinet, drop me a line. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different hardware and methods and I could give you some tips that would likely save you time and money.
