Our take
As a retro enthusiast, finding this 1986 NEC in the original box is a dream. The 13-inch viewable area is small, but the CRT delivers that warm, authentic look for classic games. The MultiSync compatibility means it works with many old systems. However, $850 is steep, and the resolution maxes out at 800x560, so it's strictly for old hardware. The refresh rate range is narrow, and the CRT is heavy. If you're a serious collector, this is a museum piece, but for gaming, modern alternatives are more practical.
