The flat cathode-ray-screen is really impressive when you’ve been used to the convex curve of the average monitor. You’ll wonder why you never noticed the ugly bend on your old screen. Trust me, this isn’t just a new screen, it’s a new way of seeing! The image is impressively sharp, and the monitor supports a broad range of Windows resolution settings. With no flicker it’s very easy on the eyes and should keep you up all night exclaiming ‘Wow!’ at all your previously uninspiring games and graphics applications.

The monitor stands on a low-friction positional base for easy adjustment, and it really is easy: despite the monitor’s considerable weight, adjustment can be done with a single finger. The casing is uncluttered with only two controls apparent: the on/off button and a single button for controlling the image quality. Far from limiting your options, pressing the OSD (On Screen Display) button will superimpose the first of 4 menus over your current application. You control picture shape and colour-balance by turning a little wheel discreetly hidden beneath the bottom of the case. If you mess up, just select ‘Recall’ and everything’s returned to factory settings. Perhaps the most useful function is ‘Zoom’ which magnifies the image to fit the entire screen – no more annoying black-borders!

This monitor has obviously been designed by a user, not some post-graduate art-student who thinks monitors should be covered in buttons and irritating flashing lights. While you’re paying for quality, you’re also saving money on running costs. For such a large monitor it has a remarkably low wattage. However, weighing in at almost 20kg and at 50cm from front to back, you’ll need a sturdy desk.
