Good Points

Very sharp focus makes for easy to read text. Low eye strain over prolonged periods.
Good Colour.
Outstanding value for money at under £100.


Bad Points

Not a flat screen although I can forgive it that for the clarity.


General Comments

I first tried a Iiyama Vision Master 455 pro 19" after my hansol 710 17" gave up the ghost after 8 years service.

I looked at LCD's but I like a fast refresh rate for games and I don't like the way they look "artificial" or "processed" although clarity is excellent.

The Iiyama's colours were very nice and vivid but clarity was not good especially in the centre where text would be blurry even at 1024x768. Higher resolutions were even worse. I got a replacement, same problem. I suspect quality control has gone to the dogs with these NEC/Mitsubishi tubed monitors since NEC stopped making their own monitors, or maybe even someone else makes the tubes now. Others having similar problems with Iiyama 455 and 451, lots of dodgy ones out there.
So I went back to Hansol, Colours are not great out of the box. You need to up the Blue Green in the colour temperature settings and then up the contrast in your graphics card settings.
Then you get a beautifully colourful sharp display.
Colour not quite on a par with aperature grille displays but still good.

If you can forgive the not quite flat screen then this is an amazing bargin.

ps. CCL computers won't give you a refund unless you start threatening them. Word of wisdom ..if you have a problem getting a refund ring VISA and get them to "freeze the payment" so it no longer appears on your balance (you don't have to pay for it!) and tell them to initiate proceedings to reclaim your money. Thus it is in VISA's interest to get your/their money back. Tell the supplier this. Its all free! and easy!).
