Advantages: Nice and bright - sharp images Disadvantages: Speakers are rubbish
When I came to buy a 20" flat screen, the overall deciding factor for me was price. What I wanted was an iiyama, what I could afford was about £400.
Oh well I thought, I'll check the specs on the iiyama and look around for a monitor as near to those specs as I could get for the money. Ilooked and looked but couldn't find much that came near it for much under £450. Then I found the Belinea.

I won't bore you with the it's got this and it's got that because you can make up your own mind on that by comparing the specs.

What I can tell you is that I wanted a big, bright, clear screen for under £400. And that's exactly what I got. The only down side as far as I'm concerned is the rubbish speakers, but then I've got a set of surrounds plugged in so I don't really mind :)
I normally like to comment on the support of a product if I review it, but I can't in this case because I haven't had a need to use it.
If you're looking for a 20-inch entry-level display, you'll also find what you're looking for in the Belinea palette of products. Thanks to the generous diagonal measurement of 51cm and high resolution of 1600 x 1200, there is more than enough room for cumbersome applications. Moreover, high contrast and brightness levels provide for excellent screen performance. The high-grade Premium MVA panel provides a large viewing angle of 170° horizontally and vertically, making the display ideal for use when several persons are looking at the screen simultaneously.
