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.

Fair point.

True enough, but if you're looking for something for office work, then you really want a monitor with adjustability - something this lacks.

I have an adjustable height chair. ;-)

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
