Advantages: Very attractive appearance, slimline, smart and good quality Disadvantages: Some people prefer chunky monitors, and if this is you, then this isn't the right choice
I was given this monitor by my parents after my previous monitor (of dubious company and origin) exploded one day...
As you can imagine, I was desperate to get another monitor quickly, and so made this choice as soon as I could. It was definitely the right one- this monitor is perfect for me.
I have little desk space so its compact size and shape is perfect, it's light and easy to move and adjust, and the silver edging looks very smart and stylish.

USB: 2-port Hub
Belinea 102035W:
Contrast Ratio: 800:1
Response Time: 8ms
Brightness: 300cd/m2
USB: 4-port Hub
I paid a little over £300 for each of the Belinea monitors, whereas the Cinema Displays would have set me back £570 each! At this point it was an easy choice...
