Suitable for both home and professional users alike, the Diamond Pro 2070 has a whopping 22" frontage with 20" of viewable screen. The maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536 which, in todays market, is decent enough by anybodys standards. At over 60lbs (just under 30kgs) it is quite heavy, but as most suppliers will deliver the beauty this shouldn't cause any problems.
There are ample controls on the front set of the monitor, they include brightness, contrast, horizontal and vertical sizing and position, colour temperature and other standard features. The dynamics of the monitor, and the immense resolution are evidence of how far monitors have developed in recent years, the high calibre glare reduction enforces it's worth in the market even further.
The resolution pre-sets are as follows: - 2048 x 1536 / 86 Hz 1920 x 1440 / 92 Hz 1856 x 1392 / 95 Hz 1800 x 1440 / 92 Hz 1800 x 1350 / 98 Hz 1600 x 1200 / 109 Hz 1280 x 1024 / 127 Hz 1024 x 768 / 160 Hz 800 x 600 / 160 Hz 640 x 480 / 160 Hz
The monitor, alongside the latest keyboard technology, comes with a NaViSet feature which allows the user to adjust the settings of the screen (aforementioned options) via the use of the mouse and keyboard; much easier than fiddling about with the buttons! It not only looks smart, but looks and feels like a professional piece of kit.
www.Microwarehouse.co.uk offer the monitor at just under £500 smackeroonies minus Vat. which pumps it right up to £575 inc. Vat, this is the major problem with the product, a steep price to be shelling out for a monitor when a decent computer system can be bought for only a little more these days.
