Got Apex? heeft een review klaar van de nieuwe Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451. Deze 19" monitor geniet van een vlakke Diamondtron NF beeldbuis met een maximale resolutie van 1920 x 1440 bij 76Hz. Daarnaast wordt dit model uitgerust met ingebouwde speakertjes en 4 handige USB poorten. Uiteindelijk gaat het natuurlijk toch om zijn beeldkwaliteit, maar daar was ook zeer weinig over te klagen:
Image quality is where the Iiyama shines. Even though it is but a whole .01 better than my KDS in the pitch department, colors were warmer, brighter, and just nicer to look at. Games, web surfing, everything was a pure pleasure to look at, and with the high refresh rate, you can look a darn long time. As with all aperture grill monitors (Trinitron, Diamondtron), there are 2 lines that go all the way across the screen located at the top third and bottom third of the monitor. These lines are normal; they hold the grill in place. Having used this type of monitor, I don't even notice it anymore, but it has been known to bug the more anal retentive types. I can't say the size of the viewing area was all that impressive, only because I'm used to it, but if you are going from a 15 incher, you will be stunned at how sharp everything looks, and just how much of it there is to look at! I won't say it blows my KDS away - as it doesn't, but it IS just a wee bit better.
[...] Iiyama's Vision Master Pro 451 is a feature-packed item sporting Mitsubishi's incredible Diamondtron tube. Not only has Iiyama produced one of the finest 19 inch monitors available, but they have included plenty of extras. This monitor will not disappoint.
Overigens, onze review van dit beeldkanon staat nog steeds hier .
