Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454

Right. Here goes with another non techy technical review. My hubby hasnt got the most perfect of eyesight so he wanted a really good monitor, and it had to be a big one. We happened to be in a local PC repair place and he noticed a CRT 19inch on the side that they used to test other PC's on. He like the picture so investigated further and found it was a Iiyama. I had a Iiyama 17" normal monitor and was always very happy with it, so was already impressed with the name. So we scoured the internet to look for the best deal. Bearing in mind the 19 inch size hadnt been widely available for long so ... more

I Purchased my Iiyama Visionmaster pro 454 in February of this year. I have a mixed opinion of it so far.

The vision master pro, a nice 19" screen (18" viewable) with a few bells and whistles. Before I talk about the screen, I'll talk about all the bits and bobs that you get with this monitor - that you wouldn't normally. First of all, there's two VGA inputs. This allows you to use this monitor with two computers, at the same time, you then switch between inputs - chosing what input is actually displayed on the screen. While it is possible to buy seperate devices to do this, it's nice to have this feature already there, for you to use without any extra wires or desk space taken up. On the subject ... more

I bought this monitor 3 years ago and it has not failed me since, it has been in transit a lot to and from university and still remains robust. The sreen is flat and very sharp even at high resolutions upto 1600x1200 and the colours are richer than that of any monitor I've seen. The USB hub that's built into the base is also very useful (stops you faffing about behind your computer). Even has built in speakers in case you badly need to hear something! The whole thing looks very stylish and curvy. It carries the high brightness feature which makes games/movies look very realistic and sharp both ... more

Having had a trio of dodgy reconditioned Pro 451s I've so far been very happy with the performance of the Pro 454. Size wise it’s nice and large with an 18” viewable screen which is totally flat. It has a max resolution of 1920x 1440 @ 85Hz. One improvement over the 451 is that it can run at a resolution of 1600x1200 @ 100Hhz and so avoids eye strain from prolonged use. This is the resolution I mostly use. Picture wise you couldn’t ask for more. The screen is nice and bright, colours are excellent and text is clear and sharp. There are plenty of adjustment options to tweak the display further ... more
