Overclock3D have just published a review on the new LED-backlit 1080P monitor from iiyama, the Prolite E2473HDS.
Monitors have come a long way in a short space of time since the original move from CRTs to flat-panels.iiyama ProLite E2473HDS Review
When the TFT monitors first appeared on the scene they had a limited amount of inputs and very poor response times when compared to their CRT counterparts as well as being eye-wateringly expensive.
Since they first became a viable option a few years ago the technology has moved along at a huge rate. The first big change was the switch to widescreen aspect ratios and then the inevitable move to bigger and bigger screen sizes. Of course at the top end the panels are as good as ever, but down with the TN panels which about 95% of us own due to their attractive pricing we've seen a raft of changes and the major one is the switch from a CCFL backlight to the more uniform LED type.
As with any new technology there was a huge premium to pay initially, but now with the iiyama ProLite E2473HDS you can have a full HD, 24" LED backlit monitor for £160. With more graphics cards capable of triple-screen gaming goodness it is definitely time to take a look and see if the performance of the iiyama matches its eye-catching feature set.
