Iiyama's ProLite 19-inch widescreen LCD monitor: affordable specs

There's always room in our jaded hearts for another low-cost, 19-inch widescreen LCD especially when it can deliver on specs. The Iiyama ProLite E1901WS/B features a panel resolution of 1440x900 (WXGA+) and throws down a 5-ms response, 850:1 contrast, 300cd/m2 brightness, and a D-Sub15 input for getting old school RGB or 2x HDCP-enabled DVI inputs to keep HD videos dancin' in Vista. Available in white or black with a super-thin bezel for going multi-paneled. At just ¥35,800 (about $304) maybe you don't have to wait for Dell.

A more attractive $200 19" LCD from AOC with a 1000:1 C/R and 8ms response time is at OfficeMax.

What's the point saying there's a better model if you aren't going to say what it is?

Or, if you want something from a major brand, you could go to CDW and pick up a Lenovo ThinkVision L191 for $219, and then get yourself a $100 rebate on it. It isn't widescreen; but it has a 1280 x 1024 res., 8 ms response time, and 700:1 contrast ratio.

That's not the one I was talking about ... there is a widescreen AOC 19" with a really thin bezel that is available in store only ... and by the way - I did name the make and model AOC 19" - what was the point of the rebuff?

Go for the Acer AL1916WAbd: 1440x900, 300 cd/m2, 700:1, 5ms, DVI, 19" Widescreen, $190 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009091

I myself wouldn't go with some never before heard of brand. I have the model of that Acer that came before it (8ms instead of the new 5ms). I have no complaints whatsoever (ok, there's 1 stuck pixel, but that's well below the norm). Highly recommended.

Iiyama are certainly not a never heard of before brand, they are pretty well known for great quality monitors, at least in the UK that is.
