I tried two NEC 3FGx monitors for my A500 with FFV2 before giving up on them and going to a Sony CPD1304S. Both of the NECs had SEVERE convergence problems that resulted in large portions of the grey WB background having a blotchy brownish look. Two separate reviews of the NECs in PC Magazine also mentioned convergence problems. You might also find their Invar shadow mask to be a bit distracting too as it gives a sort of grainy look to to the display at times. The FGx series can be adjusted to eliminate the screen borders, but I didn't think the focus at the edges of the screen was good enough to take advantage of this feature. My Sony comes about an eighth of an inch on each side short of filling the screen. The NECs look like they have a great deal of potential, but if you decide to buy one be sure to preview the exact unit you will be buying before you take delivery since they appear to have some serious quality control problems.
