Cant decide which 22" TFT

Cant decide whether to go for the Belinea 22" or go for the 22" Iiyama Prolite E2200WS. The Iiyama looks better and seems to have the same stats and DVI for about 35 quid more. Anyone have a Iiyama E2200WS?

btw.. OC are you going to stock this monitor. Seems very good value for money and looks pretty tidy too.

I understand that the Iiyama 22" is in fact identical to the Belinea including the bezel - it just happens to be black instead of silver.

IMO - Its damn fugly.

Exactly why i want one. Looks nicer in black. Plus the iiyama has DVI at a fraction more £.

Each to their own and all that

I did right it off - I really am pleased with the Samsung. I have seen the Iiyama, Acer, Viewsonic and Asus in real life and have to say physically the Samsung is head and shoulders above.

Very handy having Tottenham Court Road 1 tube stop away as I can pop down there on my lunch break

(also very hard on the wallet!)

head and shoulders above in terms of image quality or your opinion on the overall looks of the monitor?

Physical looks and build quality. I didnt see all the monitors on. They pretty much all use the same TN panel with a few minor variations so the image quality is likely to be uniform throughout.
