news · December 23, 2008

Hi all,

We have just published a review of the *Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS - 22in

Full HD LCD*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very

much appreciated.

*/In terms of image enhancement features, Iiyama has seen fit to include

both dynamic contrast and OptiColor digital colour circuitry. The former

is probably a little better than most implementations, but it's still of

marginal value, tending to crush detail in darker movie and gaming

scenes. The latter, meanwhile, does little more than offer a menu of

ostensibly enhanced preset contrast settings, none of them superior to

the default setting.

All of which leaves us to conclude that Iiyama's new 1080p 22-incher is

a thoroughly welcome addition to the 22-inch market. Yes, it comes with

the usual image quality baggage that afflicts every TN panel. But 1,920

x 1,080 pixels is a lot for the money. It's also very, very nearly as

good as Viewsonic's slightly more expensive 1080p 22-inch monitor, the

VX2260WM, which we will be publishing our review on very soon.

The Viewsonic's black tones and dynamic contrast circuitry are probably

better, but there is awfully little in it. Unless you need that HDMI

port, therefore, you may feel little compunction to pay more. Certainly,

anyone looking to bag a monitor below the £150 price point should put

Iiyama's new HD panel right at the top of their list./
