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 inch in places meaning that theres alot of the screen 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 use the onsite warranty.

The screen settings are very easy to use and understand. The buttons are labled obviously and do waht they say they will. The manual is good however is highly Americanised (Iiyamas being designed in California).

Overall this is a good monitor and will most probably last you for years without a noticable degradation in performance. The only reason I stopped using mine was that I got a TFT. Which is just plain lovly.
