The biggest disappointment with monitor reviews is that they always seem to assume that the monitor is used for gaming, watching movies or other such like entertainment. Considering most monitors are still used in an business office/home office enviroment there never seems to be much content wise about their suitability in this enviroment.
The attraction for me to a large widescreen monitor is that you can have two documents or even two browser windows side by side and still comfortably read the content.
In this respect this monitor would seem to suit me and the price is very attractive though the Hanns monitor does indeed look far better value.
The inclusion of both DVI and HDMI for me is also a winner.
Why on my iiyama the image at the top is much darker than at the bottom of the screen? Is it normal or is it broken? Please write to me: greg606@gmail.com
@ Moggy58: We try to cover every aspect in our reviews. For games and movies, I would hardly have complained about the lack of adjustability, or mentioned the heat output. And why would an entertainment-focused review mention text sharpness? As far as image quality goes, almost every LCD display over £150 on the market today will fulfill normal office requirements - while photo-manipulation, gaming and movies are far more demanding.
Hi, I am thinking of getting this monitor, would connecting an xbox 360 through the hdmi port, watching dvd's or playing pc games, due to the low contrast ratio and the lack of 1:1 pixel mapping would this be a good or bad choice. I had a samsung sm2232bw monitor and have been offered a replacement, I can have a HP L2445w 24" TFT, Iiyama E2403WS 24" LCD, Benq V2400W 24" or this one a E2607WS-B1 26" all are at the same price as a paid for the SM2232BW. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
It has a design incompatibility problem, which has been independently verified by an IT expert.
Iiyama refuse to acknowledge this and flatly deny the problem is due to their monitor.
PROBLEM: If you turn off the monitor for any length of time or, allow it to enter a power saving mode, when you try to turn it on again it states “NO SIGNAL” and stays black, no keyboard strokes or mouse movement will turn it on. The only way to recover this is a full PC shut down and reboot. Iiyama did send a replacement model and this behaved identically.
PROOF OF PROBLEM: Monitors from Samsung, View Sonic, Acer & Sony have all been tested on the same PC with the same DVI & VGA cables and all of these work fine. Even if you turn them off or allow them to drop into a power saving mode they all (without exception) will turn back on with a movement of the mouse or one keyboard stroke.
Hello Sandy, iiyama have sold about 30000 of these over the past 12 months. 1st report on this problem. Please email uksales@iiyama.com with your contact details and we will resolve the issue some way. Is your card DDC-Ci Compliant? Thanks. Richard
