PiXie/RIC Model 770

I've been using this monitor 2 to 6 hours a day for over a year without a problem. The picture quality is average but the low cost and good features more than make up for it. I also noticed the monitor seemed warm so I put a spare computer case fan on the side of the monitor case. I'm having trouble finding a Windows XP driver. The pixie web site only has Windows 95 and 98. I guess that will have to work.

Yes, I started my machine up one day and my PiXie/RIC model 770 monitor had purple text instead of white whilst the bios stuff is running at the beginning of the bootup (it was plugged into a quality PC power strip w/ surge protection). Now the screen will turn VERY bright purple or lavender and nearly obscure the text or whatever's supposed to be shown. Vibration makes it worse; like w/ a horizonal zigzag of bright trace lines across the screen from top to botton. Considered getting it repaired but found it cheaper to just buy a new one (NOT another RIC!).

Got the PiXie/RIC model 770 monitor for $100US after rebates. It was only $179US w/o rebates. Been using it for 12+ hours every day for 18months. Except for adding the fan, I just run it. No problems w/color, V-sync or anything else. I do use the De Gauss feature every 3-4 days to keep it 'in sync' & am glad it has that feature & the 'sleep mode' when not in use (hardly ever). Graphics are crisp & I'm quite happy w/my 770c. :o)

This monitor is not worth the money.

I have been using my model 770 since around March 1999 with no problems so far. It was cheap and had a mail-in rebate at Fry's Electronics. The maximum resolution is 1280x1024, which is better than I need for a 17-inch monitor anyway.
