Re: I can

My Iiyama S900MT1 is a 19" CRT monitor, which I use to do 1280x1024 @ 85Hz (it can do higher, but not at that refresh rate) , is a few years old now, and no degradation in image output.  It's a very nice monitor, and it is cheap.  I got mine for £180 from Dabs.

I've had very good experiences with Iiyama monitors and Iiyama tech support (when old monitors need maintenance), I whole-heartedly recommend them.

An example of the good support is with a 17" monitor that was out of guarantee.  Iiyama paid for P&P both ways and no cost for the maintenance to tweak the slightly scewed display.   Nice attitude as well.

The other thing I should mention is that refresh rates < 72Hz are very bad for your eyes and brain.

Hmm, you dont actually need anything over 70Hz, as your eyes only refresh at 70, anything over that is overkill.


That's strange, considering I can tell what refresh rate a monitor is running at most settings up to 90Hz.
