About this product
The NEC MultiSync E1100 is a 21-inch CRT monitor with VGA input, designed for retro gaming. It supports resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 85Hz. Sold as for parts/read, condition unknown. It is a large CRT with a classic beige color, part of the NEC MultiSync line.
Our take
I took a chance on this 21-inch CRT for parts, hoping to salvage it for retro gaming. The 85Hz at 1280x1024 is promising for a smooth image, and the size is huge for a CRT. But it's sold as-is and untested, so you're gambling on functionality. At $270, it's not cheap for a risk. The VGA input is standard, but no other connectivity. If you're a collector willing to repair, it might be worth it, but for most people, this is a niche purchase.
