    'Smart' Power Strips

    Does Scan stock these or similar ?
    http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005..._power_str.php

    I'm also after a recommendation of a 24" gaming monitor for up to £250.

    Re: 'Smart' Power Strips

    Wow.

    Excuse my cynicism but that is amazingly cheap for a 1920x1080 monitor. What's the catch ?
    It must a new product, as I can't find a write up anywhere for this model.

    How does it compare to the Iiyama?

    Re: 'Smart' Power Strips

    Without getting into geometery the viewing angles are great, i watch movies on mine at an angle and still get a great image without it becoming faded at all.

    There is an old saying, "its not the size that matters its ...." infact i'll leave it there.

    Steve, Can I just check the connectors ? A quick Google leads me to believe that the LG doesn't have a DVI/Digital connector. Is that the case ?

    Order placed. On the understanding that this model does have the DVI.

    It appears to have left your building about 15 mins later. Bloody hell, I'm not used to customer service.
