I'm very pleased with my Iiyama 15" monitor: the picture is sharp and the
convergence at the corners is pretty good.

I usually use 800x600 at 72 Hz, although it can be used at 1024x768 (though
the text is a bit small). 1280x1024 is also possible, although only at a
flickery 60Hz.

As with most things, my own monitor is much better than the rebadged
anonymous monitor that I use at work!
