A �120 19" may well be very irritating to use, possibly causing eye strain after prolonged use. Chances are it will have a low refresh rate, susbstandard geometry, bad regulation, poor focus, the list goes on. IMHO it would be better to spend the same sum on a better quality 17" model.

Or it could be an excellent monitor at a low price! I had a CDRW of theirs which developed a fault phoned them up then sent it back to be tested/repaired,2 days later a brand new one arrived in the post!

If you want the best out of your purchase you should consider an Aperture Grille monitor (Trinitron/Diamondtron) which is far superior to shadow mask. At a price like �120 for 19" the components (tube etc) used are probably the cheapest available and I'd be surprised if it lasted two years. Remember: you get what you pay for.
