No doubt its a big montior with a high resolution for the price. The main negative point is the input; 1x d-sub only and the viewing angles, but its debatable as to whether you would notice a difference between analogue and digital.
Theres 2 threads on that monitor here:

The OCUK value monitor, whilst being more expensive, is probably better:

I woudnnt borther tbh, i had a cheap Acer 20" and it died after a year just a month and 1/2 past its warranty.
I just bought a Dell 2407 for £275 2nd hand but still 2 years left on the warranty.
So yes they are cheap but if you gotta spend another £200 a year later when it dies, then you might as well just spend the £400 and get something that will last longer or get a really good screen 2nd hand.
Hell and Fire was spawned to be released.
Well, I wish I had known that before I bought 2 of them!
To be honest, not had any probs so far, picture quality is good, very bright, decent contrast. Only issue I have noticed is that I do get a bit of screen flicker on one of them, seems to clear up after is been on a few minutes and its only noticeable because I like many of you always notice these things. No dead pixels at all either, so quite happy.

How about this IIYAMA 24 TFT - Misco.co.uk £250 it has 1 HDMI with dvi adapter lead and 1 VGA.
That iiyama one has a very low brightness level and the contrast ratio isnt too good. Go for the samsungs that have 3000:1 contrast ratio and 400 cdm2 brightness.
My current tft is a sony X black with 450 cdm2 brightness and it is almost as good as HDTV!
The brightness rating is the most underated feature on monitors.
Yeah, just as I thought, you get what you pay for!
Best to wait and gather more money for a better monitor I think. Thanks.
24" for £300 is about right for a quality piece of kit.
22" for £200.
As someone has already said - you get what you pay for. Everything should have 3 year warranties tho.
