PC Pro has the Iiyama VM Pro 451 as their A List 19" monitor

Personally, I rate the Samsung monitors highly. I've got a SM950p at work and a 700p at home.

I've got the Iiyama mentioned above. It is very good and so flat that it looks concave by comparison with work monitors.

Its footprint is actually slightly smaller than the 15" that it replaced. Amazing hey?

I would not hesitate to recommend it, oh and it has a built in 4 way USB hub and speakers (though I dont use the speakers on it).

Oh yeah and it also allows two connectors toi the back so you can switch between Monitor1 and Monitor2 so to speak, with it looking at 2 different things. Though I've never used that either.

I got it from www.cclcomputers.co.uk near Bradford. But they are mainly mail order.

I also have the Iiyama VM Pro 451 and it's fabulous - completely flat in both axes, very sharp and excellent colour. It also comes with a manufacturer's 3 year swap-out warranty.

I use it with a Matrox G400 card at 1600x1200x85Hz true colour and do a lot of digital photo editing in Photoshop - there's an ICC profile for it that seems very accurate (although I haven't had it calibrated). Text is very sharp too. (Hint: leave it in 'text' mode all the time. 'Picture' and 'Movie' modes are truly horrible).

Andy.
