Iiyama`s award-winning 19-inch flat screen monitor is now available from WCS, official distributor of Iiyama in SA.

Mohammad Denath, Iiyama product manager at WCS, comments: "The Vision Master Pro 454, also called HM903DT, is the latest in the range. It has the most recent High Brightness DiamondTron tube, which puts it a generation ahead of the competition. As its name implies, the high brightness can give higher brightness on screen as required."

Iiyama is a manufacturer known for the quality/price ratio of its products. The screen has a display zone of 18-inches and a pitch of 0.25 in the centre and 0.27 at the edges.

The Vision Master Pro 454 is very smart in appearance, with its base setting it apart from the rest. This is where you find the controls for the settings, a pair of 2x1 watt loudspeakers and a 4-port USB hub.

The connections are also original, with two 15-pin RGB inputs so that two PCs can be plugged in together. You just press a button on the facing to switch from one to the other. It has a refresh rate of 115kHz and a bandwidth of 300MHz. The maker claims a maximum resolution of 1920x1440 at 77Hz. In practice, most modes (800x600 to 1920x1440) are predefined and work optimally at 85Hz.

In the predefined resolutions, verticality and horizontal lines are respectable up to 1 600x1 200. Overall, the latest Iiyama is a fine success, attractive for its image quality and ideal for games. Its contrast and brightness will be an extra comfort factor in desktop use.
