NEC Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 710

This NEC Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 710 monitor is good let down by dreadful backup and relaiblity. Two new monitors to blow in four years is just not good enough and would and shoud alienate all buyers from using this monitor!!!

Use Iiyama and discover what a good company should deliver...

I am bitter you bet!!!

It has cost me £400 to see the light on a reliable basis!!

This is really good. I am pleased with this purchase. I do think that people who are looking for a monitor should look into this model.

The Mitsubishi Diamond Pro is good on eyes, dark coating really make difference. The two horisontal lines could be used to align image position:))

By all reviews the monitor is VERY good, characteristics of it are good too, but I was disappointed by the quality and many-many little problems...

technical support toll free number REALLY works. If you feel that something is wrong with your monitor you can call and discuss it.

If you're considering a 19" screen for your computer, stop and think a moment. For a price similar to that of a budget 19" screen, you could have this wonderful Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 710, one of the best 17" monitors available today. That's the choice I made, and I haven't regretted it.

The image quality is superb, with excellent sharpness and contrast, while the flat screen gives a beautifully even picture.

The only criticisms I would level at it are that the refresh rates at higher resolutions could be slightly higher, and that the on-screen display is slightly fiddly to use.

Overall though, the monitor has been a joy to use.

Mitsubishi have managed to carve out a very good reputation for themselves in the Monitor market at the moment, mainly with good results for their 19" monitor range which have proved to good quality and value and emphasised in the 17" market by the Diamond Pro 710.

The Diamond Pro is a Aperture grille 0.25mm pitch monitor based on Mitsubishi's own tube. It will display resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 although only at 60Hz which would give eyestrain after any prolonged use, but any refresh rate would give eyestrain running a 17" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution because the icons are just too small to be practical.

The Diamond Pro excelled itself in our testing, cruising through every test and being the only monitor to do so. Things like the coated black screen were especially noticeable when it comes to reducing the amount of reflection and is on par with the Sony G200 quality wise.

The on-screen display is not quite as comprehensive as some, but all the main options are there to get the picture exactly how you want it on the screen. The controls are very accessible though and nowhere near as cumbersome as the G200, which would encourage you to correct the image under every resolution you use.

The monitor we received was Mitsubishi evaluation model and you could tell it had done the rounds a little bit just from the outside of the box. It was a testament to Mitsubishi's design and build quality that the monitor itself was in pristine condition and looked and felt like this was the first time it was being used. It really is good to know that the monitor isn't going to start falling apart after you've had it for a while although the 710 is backed by a three year onsite warranty.

There has been some cost cutting on the Mitsubishi that allows them to bring it down to such a great price. Mitsubishi have been very intelligent about it though and kept all the features that you could possible want in normal use and just foregone the luxury items such as the slightly smaller grille pitch and things like the higher refresh rates at the unusable resolutions.

The price and the overall quality of the monitor really is quite superb when all things are considered together. It is a worthy winner of our excellence award.

Congratulations to Mitsubishi on winning one of the first ever One2surf awards
