hi all,still looking for a 24" monitor pcm2 put me on to the samsung b2430 which looks a good monitor but just seen this iiyama prolite e2409hd which has got good reviews (expert reviews 5 out of 5)can anyone tell me a bit more about this monitor,cheers.

I haven't used this one I'm afraid but have used very similar business monitors from Iiyama. If performance of those is anything to go by it will be a well built and solid performer. No better than the B2430, really, but if you prefer a less mainstream glossy look it could be worth a thought.

I've had two at home for a week or so (to go either side of my existing DGM 26 incher for an Eyefinity setup). So far, cannot fault the screens - image is nice, crisp, clear, colours look as good as the DGM and are consistent across both monitors. They feel fairly solidly made and robust, DVI works perfectly (not tried VGA or HDMI) and no dead/stuck pixels on either screen. So far, they've been perfect for gaming and desktop use and I'm very happy with them. Stand doesn't raise but it does adjust for tilt.

Is there anything in particular you want me to check out on them as I can give anything a try when I get home tonight?

If you're happy with the look of them it sounds like you're onto a winner for £140. They may be older and slightly less flashy looking than some newer models but the technology inside is essentially very similar.
