Iiyama 455 vs 454

[Vimeous]

Basically is the £80 difference worth it?
I'd appreciate anyone who owns either of these commenting!

Thanks

I own two 450 Pros, and like them alot - but having seen the 455 and 454, I don't beleive they're anywhere near as good.

Thats why when replacing my pair of monitors at work, I went for the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930s and they're fantastic

Price wise the 930 is beyond my means.
This is a work purchase so I'm struggling to justify the additional cost of the 454 as it is.
That said I really want to run 1600x1200 with good focus as I'm editing html and a) need the deskspace also b) must be able to read without damaging my eyes.

Will the change from 85Hz to 100Hz at 1600x1200 and a 0.25 grill to 0.24 grill mean much in real use?
I've already tried a 1451 Shadow mask at 1600x1200 85Hz and the focus wasn't what I needed so I sent it back (Scan were very good about that actually which is an improvement over past performances).

85Hz and 100Hz difference will be noticable.

Is it £80's worth of difference?

Anywhere that you can see them side by side?

I've got a 454 Pro & very happy (even though I paid £60 more than they are now).

Unfortunately most places now stock cheap 17"s or TFT. 19"s take up too much space I guess.

I picked up a Pro454 for £150 second hand barely used and it's great. 1600x1200 @ 100HZ is sweet.
