I suppose it’s good for girl gamers though as they can check their make-up as they play.

Talking from experience, imo!
It's a shame it's so ugly!

It has to be one of the worst looking LCDs I've ever seen. I like iiyama stuff (had some of their CRTs), but this I don't. The only thing that could make it worse is if it was horrible ‘PC’ beige.

That and no mention of HDCP makes it a no go for me sadly. I'll have to keep staring at pics of the BenQ FP241W and hope that one day……
Am I being stupid or is a 2ms response time completely pointless? Since the screen is set to 60Hz, anything lower than 16ms response time should surely make no difference at all.
I currently have a iiyama and love it, but now im tempted to upgrade…. tempting
I COULD SHAVE IN THIS SCREEN. It's like a mirror, and about as much use in FEAR as a botton bud is as a weapon in Quake4.

Iiyama make some stunning monitors, but why shiny? It's like having my Dad's bald head in front of me at a cinema…irritiating.
