No, afraid not but then if you're thinking about games consoles you don't really need it, since the native resolution is already a pixel for pixel match of 1080p. :)

Bring on a 24" one for £200 and the credit card might have to come out...

Well,it was still £199 when I checked a few days ago. That means they increased the price. Unlucky you are.

Having bought one, I'm a little concerned I can't get it to work properly at 1920x1080 with my mac (an older powerPC based mac mini).

If I use the mac's dvi to dsub adaptor the resulting screen is *sometimes* shifted so far right that even using h position adjustment it can't be pulled far enough across to display the full screen. When it isn't shifted, it looks good. My method to reset is switch resolutions and then switch back but this sometimes leaves you with a blank screen.

Abandoning the adaptor and trying to connect via dvi cable (provided) if the screen appears at all it's all over the place and the monitor pops up a blue warning "Nonpreset mode !" and then blacks out completely. Using the mac's display prefs to select 1600x1200 produces a stable, if slightly fuzzy, screen but it's not what I want.

I can't tell if the fault lies with the mac, the monitor or my own naivete for just assuming it would work.

In general, the impression is that the build quality is far inferior to the Iiyama Prolite E430T I thought I was upgrading from.

Just this second powered this monitor up after getting it a few minutes ago.

Thank you Trusted Reviews, this is an absolute gem for the money. I came from Hyundai Q17 (yes, that old beast LOL) and this certainly demonstrates how the market has moved on so much in recent years. That old Hyundai cost me £380, this at £160 from Dabs wipes the floor with it completely. Lovely quality screen, no dead pixels that I can find.

Plastic Gnome, I will try my G4 mac mini in a moment and let you know how I get on via DVI.

On the Mac Mini (G4 - 1.33) it worked just as well as on the PC via direct DVI connection. OSX set the video mode with no issues to 1920x1080 and all looked lovely and crisp.

Can any one help??? I'm thinking about the E2208HDS - I'm a photograher - is it that bad with greys on black and can I disable the on board speakers? my desk top speakers are OK. Many thanks...Malcolm Goy

I know the review says this monitor has an "entirely matte black plastic finish", but is the actual viewing area glossy or matte? If matte... then I will 100% buy it!!

All told there's little not to like about the ProLite E2208HDS. It might lack the image fidelity of more expensive offerings, but it isn't more expensive and it also offers an obscenely high Full HD resolution on a 22in screen. For under £150 we can't imagine finding more desktop real-estate and if you're tight on space but don't want to sacrifice productivity, it will fit the bill perfectly.
