I havent seen any recent reviews of 22" Monitors so I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of what works and what doesnt?
I'm a keen follower of the Iiyama Vision Master Pro range and have had a 410 Pro (17") for about 4 years but now its dying and friends have the new 19" based on the Diamondtron U2 tube. I'm wondering if their 22" monitors come up to the same quality as the smaller models.
I just returned a NEC 1760NX LCD which I absolutely hated (purely because it is LCD, and i thought i'd give them another shot but decided it had to go back, had it for 20mins!!!), so my budget is around 400-500 and i'm just a gamer and casual coder really with tons of desk space. After all the monitor is the most important peripheral you can have, it'll last 3-4 years and be worth the money.
In particular i'm looking at the following:
VM Pro 513 - MA203DT(Older Diamondtron NF)
VM Pro 514 - HM204DT (Newer Diamondtron U2)
Anyone have specific experience of the difference between the two tubes available (obviously the 514 has uch higher specs), or any experience of the 22" range in general, I always take advantage of my 7 day returns guarantee on expensive items i wish to keep for a while but I want to try and avoid having to pay so much to return a 22" monitor, shame there arent many reviews out there.
And BTW, i'm a UK customer.
