I ended up buying an NEC FP2141SB, for several reasons. I read lots of
good
reviews on it, it's $50 cheaper than its identical twin Mitsubishi, it's
black to match the rest of my system (hey, aesthetics counts AND..
they
will sell the schematic for it.

I'm still kinda ****ed they charge $50 for their manual, while Sony wants
half that for their large monitor service lit.

NEC monitors have always been built with a critical audience in mind. The
original NEC Multisync was clearly built with the idea that all the rivals
would examine it closely and envy it. (We used one of them something like
10 years, from the CGA era until the end of the 640x480 VGA era.)

A good reason for the lack of service manuals for *some* products is that
the makers don't want us to see what corners they've cut!
