Well where to begin, I originally started out with a 17inch TFT monitor as they are very space saving, but i found after a time that the response time for most TFT monitors is very poor for gaming,also I found myself getting very regular eye strain,which in all fairness was the last thing I expected to get with a TFT.
The problem was that my TFT had a refresh rate of only 75hz, (this is not good for your eyesif your playing games and surfing the net for a protracted amount of time).
So I saved up and ordered myself the Iiyama Vision Master 1451 it cost me at the time £132 inc P+P. Now when it arrived naturally I was taken back at the size of it with its elongated rear ,after being so use to TFT monitor.
Anyway after much lumbering about with it to my room I finally connected it up put it on 1024x768 and a refesh rate of 100hz. What can I say? Never have i before had such a smooth gaming experience with rich vibrant colours and great response times with no blurring when I needed to turn fast in online games like quake 3 and unreal 2004.

Let me just emphasise how bad my TFT made my eyes,now maybe I dont have the strongest eyes going I dont know but my eyes got so badly strained with my TFT that I had swelling on outer skin of my eyes, terrible headaches and stinging runny eyes.
I now no longer have this using this crt monitor and yet I still use my computer as intensely,I think this says a lot.

I personally can not recommend this monitor enough wether you are a hardcore game or a net surfer, for the cost this is money very well spent ,even more so for me after all you have only one pair of eyes.
Advantages: Big screen, sharp colours, high refresh Disadvantages: Big
I've got to agree with the 1st review on this product.
It is a really nice peice of kit. I used mine for about 2 years before my little sister got it and its still going strong. Its about 3 years old now.
The monitor istelf is very sturdy and has an excellent stand. The colours are good and the image quality is excellent. Obviously there is its large size and the CRT does seem a little inefficient. the besel used on this product is about half an ... ...that remains unused thus adding to its size. It is also very deep and doesn't have much curve at the back. So its not going to fit in any tight spaces.
I did the same as the 1st reviewer with this product while moving it back and forth to anf from uni and it held up very well.
The refresh rate on this monitor is excellent and increases all the way to 120Hz at 1024x768. This is excellent for a CRT monitor of this age. I too have never needed to ...

Advantages: Superb picture quality, Size, Value for money, Durability Disadvantages: Large physical dimensions
...all: a testament to the Iiyama name for quality and durability. I have not had to use the 3 year on-site replacement warranty, but the fact that it exists for a monitor costing <£125 is reassuring.
I have not been able to compare this monitor with the Iiyama Visionmaster Pro 454, which is considered the best monitor in the 19"CRT class, but I would certainly say this is easily the best 19" you can find for less than £200.
The only drawback is that ...
