... resolution of 1280x960, the image is still sharp and is perfectly suited for graphics applications such as photoshop. The screen itself is very contrasty. A good thing to look for in a monitor is the colour of the screen when the picture is off. This may sound odd to begin with, but if the screen is dark when off, it will produce a mighty fine black when on, giving a fantastic contrast. When using this monitor through colour profiles in photoshop and printing on an epson stylus printer also with a colour profi...more

Welcome to the world of 17" monitors. If you have been somewhat bereft of desk space recently then you will no doubt have missed out on such luxuries. This is no exception space-wise; in terms of depth it is rather large. However there is a reason for this as it is a cathode ray monitor and as such needs a lot of room for the technical wizadry behind it. This model benefits from a maximumm screen resolution of 1600x1200 but to be honest the picture loses its clarity. Technically speaking it is still sharp, but the colours do not converge on the screen giving a rainbow effect to everything. However at a resolution of 1280x960, the image is still sharp and is ...

I use this monitor at work. It is a 17-inch monitor. It is not a spectacular monitor but it does what it has to.

However, if you are into desktop publishing and CAD, then i think, a flat screen monitor would be better. I personally would prefer a flat screen monitor but they tend to be more expensive. In short, this is a good monitor which does ... Read the complete review

I work with computer at least 6 days a week, at least 8 hours a day, therefore the display device is very important to me. I need a very low rediation monitor and high quality, of course. So, I opt for IIyama Vision Master 403. The picture quality is excellent! The resolution is very high and can allow me to actually squeeze in a lot more in this 19" monitor. Although the design of this monitor is nothing very extra-ordinary, but the colour sensitivity is excellent. It is very easy to install and very easy to use, all you need is just your common sence. Talking about the manufacturer support, ah, I don't need that. The Instruction ... Read the complete review
