The best 19" TFT panel in its price range by far!

Advantages: Excellent quality large screen, DVI support, very reasonable price
Disadvantages: No USB hub, weak speakers

...Earlier this year I set out on a mission to build the ultimate desktop computer. I used to have a Sony laptop and I was getting quite tired of not being able to upgrade it or play any decent games on it. The one thing I did like about a laptop is a TFT screen. I knew that if I was going to get a desktop it would have to come with a TFT display. I?ve browsed around to see what would be the best option for me and came up with this model ? the Iiyama PLE481S Design This screen stood out amongst its competition with its classic, clean design. I admit it doesn?t look as good as Sony or LG offerings in the category but it is quite pleasant to look at. I always gets compliments on it whenever someone walks into my study and sees it gracing the desk. The layout of the buttons is quite pleasant and the buttons themselves are nice and easy to...

Iiyama - a name to trust

Advantages: Quality, design
Disadvantages: Price

...Thanks in advance for reading this and I hope it helps you in making a purchasing decision. Over a decade ago I was a poor student shopping for my first ever PC. I knew what I wanted - a 486 processor running at 25MHz, 8Mb RAM, 200Mb harddrive and most importantly an Iiyama 14" monitor. Sadly the wages department of the hotel restaurant I worked through that long and tedious summer dictated a few small changes. The PC eventually became a 386 processor running at 40MHz, 4Mb RAM, 120Mb harddrive and no Iiyama monitor. Instead of the Iiyama I had some rebadged monitor with a huge curve and a low refresh rate. The Iiyama was the first thing to drop off the list as it saved the most money. My point? Even then Iiyama was synonymous with quality and of design and product. The Cathode Ray montiors they produced then had an appropriately...

IIyama vision master pro 1413 17"

Advantages: Price, quality, reliability
Disadvantages: Not for advanced and demanding users

...1 IIyama is definitely one of most recognized and respected both CRT and LCD manufacturer,( for Windows and Macintosh) and that places it above other producers on market because of it's expirience, and japanese origin. Sometimes people say that company that is focused on one specific item makes better stuff and if it comes about IIyama i can fully agree. External look IIyama vision master pro 1413 17" is simple monitor without addons like speakers or tv tuner and is available in cream (white) color ( some other models comes in black or silver ). Unusual design creates a picture of massive and solid construction and reminds me an oval cut in half. Monitor is put together very well, all joints fits perfectly. Even being a low budget product still looks as new; plastics used to assebble are rather good quality and have...

DS Lite!

Advantages: Fun, easy to use, great features, great games!
Disadvantages: Once you pick it up its hard to put down

...I own 2 DS Lites, my son has one and my partner does, they come in a great range of colours Black,White,Pink and the newer Blue. The touch screen on them is great, it makes the games so much more fun and with games like super mario you get mini games that all use the touch screen and they are great fun. As for the size of it well i carnt complain its small quite slim and light! hence the name. As for the age recomended on these my son has had one since last christmas and at the time he was 3! and after about a day learnt how to use it better than me lol. some games can be akward for smaller children but the likes of super mario, mario kart, shrek,cars ect are great for them. Its also very durable my son has dropped his on tiled floor, sat on it and god knows what else and its fine, its also very easy to keep clean. From...

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 513

Advantages: Huge picture
Disadvantages: Huge footprint

...behind it. Then I was able to slide it back further and it became a bit more viable. So, to sum up: this is a great monitor but it goes back quite a way. If you have the room then the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 513 could be a good choice. If space is a priority then LCDs are improving all the time....

Review of Iiyama Vision Master Pro 513

Best £400 I've spent recently

Advantages: Excellent Quality, Easy to use
Disadvantages: No volume control

...A 19 inch TFT panel screen with a small foot-print stand, ideal for freeing up desk space. A maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 which it handles effortlessly with perfect clarity. I prefer to use it at 1152 x 864 but that?s because of a deficiency with my eye-sight rather than any problem with the monitor. Connections are: Analogue and Digital (DVI) Video, Line In/Line Out Jacks and a Headphone Jack Socket, but no volume control. Controls include Brightness, Contrast and Image Alignment; and are simple and logical to use. Interestingly, as it is not a documented feature, it appears to auto adjust the image alignment when switching screens. I use it with a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch to connect to 4 PCs. Each PC Video card has slightly different characteristics so switching between machines can upset image alignment, but...

Nintendo DS Lite

Advantages: Stylus system Touch Screen Gameboy Advance Compatibility Small game cartridges wireless play
Disadvantages: graphics games are limited

...I had one of these for about a year until I sold it off for an Xbox 360 (good decision). I found the DS Lite has very good wireless play for friends in the area with one of them. The chat rooms are also quite useful if you are on a trip with several friends. As I found out, on a ski trip, I spent about 3 hours on the DS racing about 10 other people in Mario Kart; its a brilliant way to pass a journey. However, equally, it is also fun offline. Although the games don't have as good graphics as the likes of the Xbox 360 or PS3. They are still not bad and they do have the one of a kind revolutionary stlylus-touch screen system. This allows you to draw out the actions on the touch screen of the DS in certain games. More credit is put to the DS lite since it is compatible with the older gameboy advance games (quite a few consoles don't allow...

Nintendo DS Lite : 'Flipping Brilliant'

Advantages: Wide range of games, cheaper than consoles, portable and light weight.
Disadvantages: Cannot play films, store or play music on the DS unlike the Sony PSP console

...The Nintendo DS Lite is a portable gaming system with two screens that have been vertically alligned, one at the top and one at the bottom. On the bottom is a touch screen that allows you to use a stylus pen for selecting options to playing games. There's also the standard direction buttons, located to the left of the bottom screen, and standard X, Y, A, B buttons along with Start and Select Buttons- all of which are located to the right of the bottom screen,. The Nintendo DS games come on a cartridge format and cost anything between £10-£25. The main advantage of the Nintendo DS Games over the Sony PSP games is the loading times are much quicker this is mainly because the cartridges are smaller in capacity to the UMD Discs. The Nintendo DS has been made much smaller than the original DS, the dimensions of the new console are 0...

Nintendo DS lite

Advantages: so easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...This was bought for my son for a birthday present last year, I paid £109 for the DS, accessory kit and the game that came with it was Cars. I was not sure if he would be impressed with it or not (as he can be hard to please sometimes, like most kids these days) but as it turned out he was over the moon and I must add so was I , as I to, enjoy playing it. Another good point is that you can play the game boy advance games on it as well, my daughter has a GBA and they sure some their games which is really handy. The nintendo ds lite is really small and easy to use, you can either use the keys at the side or you can use the stylus, either way is good, Also if you have two DS lites in the one household you can send messages from one to the other, this is also really easy to do, in the main screen menu, you will see a symbol...
