Advantages: Good size, good contrast ratio, good colours

Disadvantages: 16:10 not greatest format for films, small dead pixel

I love this monitor! I bought it at Curry's when it was on offer for £190 and it's a purchase I do not regret. Before it, I had a 15" 4:3 monitor, which now seems very small in comparison.

Widescreen monitors are now becoming mainstream in all markets and it brings benefits even to the average computer user. This 22" beast is huge and allows you to see separate pages side by side, for example. This will be especially useful for the new Windows 7 OS, which allows you to drag windows to the corner to fill half the screen.

It's also fantastic for watching films, but remember that this monitor is 16:10 as opposed to 16:9. That's fine for me because it is the best ratio for everyday tasks, but if you want to use it primarily for watching films, there will always be small black banners (in addition to any banners the film has). It's important to have a decent monitor now if you want to make use of services such as iPlayer and Sky Player.

Summary: A monitor that still wows me
