The 1942 is a bi-sync monitor (~15KHz and ~30KHz, nothing in between) so Super72 isn't an option (24KHz), nor is HighGFX. It does, however, have built-in speakers.

I used a 1962 for several years. Very nice for Amiga modes and basic RTG modes, but it can't handle much above 1024x768.

I have no experience with the Nec.

The NEC 3D works good. It just won't do high crazy resolutions. Works good in NTSC/VGA productivity modes.
A4K: \\\'060, Cyberstorm MKIII Cybervision 64/3D w/ Scandoubler, Buddha Flash XSurf, MP3@64, A4K: \\\'040, Toaster, Y/C, A1200: Apollo \\\'040, A1200 GVP \'030, A1200: Stock, A2000: 68K, Trump SCSI, Supra 8Mb, and Toaster 4K, A2500: \\\'030, GVP SCSI, Supra 8MB x2, Video Toaster, CD32, Minimig, Efika and Hopefully an A4000T soon!

I've used the same NEC 3D for about 15 years, and it still works fine. I think it has the smallest screen of the bunch though. (none mentioned are really big)
My 1942, while it had a good display, died about two years ago, after roughly 8 years.
Never used a 1962,
Hope all this helps.....

I had an NEC 3D and AFAIR it showed all amiga modes and a good number of RTG resolutions as well.  The scan lines seem to be more visible though.  Its a good Amiga monitor.

If it helps at all, I use a C= 1950 and it works in every screen mode I throw at it - even highgfx. It looks like the 1962 is similar???
