Iiyama Intros Two New ProLite Series 27 inch HD Monitors
Iiyama introduced two new 27-inch full-HD LCD monitors, both part of its ProLite family. The B2712HDS/-B and E2710HDS/-B come with low power draw for their panel sizes, 45W operational, and 1W when on standby. Both have native resolutions of 1920 x 1080 pixels, brightness of up to 400 cd/m², contrast ratio (static) of 1000:1, and response time of 5 ms with 2 ms grey-to-grey. Input connectivity on both include DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI, and both come in black or white.
The differences between the B2712HDS/-B and E2710HDS/-B start with the former having a dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and 1.5W internal stereo speakers, while the latter has 20,000:1, and 2W internal stereo speakers, along with a USB hub. The B2712HDS/-B and E2710HDS/-B are priced at US $458 and $435, respectively.

Is scalable desktop fully implemented in win7? And cleartype on 90° rotation? I find it funny that WindowsCE can do cleartype on rotation, but desktop windows cant. (sorry if the Q is OT)
However, there's still hope, I have a Samsung SyncMaster BW2343+ which does 2048x1152, yet is only a 23-inch display. It's great to be able to do side by side windows which are 1024x1152 pixels :D
The new iMac's have 2650x1440 resolution on the 27-inch models, so why didn't Iiyama manage to do the same on these 27-inchers?
Still, id have a 24" ProLite any day of the week.
Iiyama is not a low quality, poor spec brand, are you nuts or do you know nothing about monitors? Sure, they have some consumer budget models in their range, but they also have some very high-end and specialised displays that you won't find from other run of the mill manufacturers. They might not be Eizo, but they're not far behind...
Anyone seen the quality of these new iMac screens?
It is a shame we arent seeing more 20-24" high pixel density screens. I'm not blind, and can quite happily work with 1 or 2 20" screens so long as the resolution is there.
What a shame there arent any 5:4 2000x1600 screens at 20". And three. Side by side. Perfect productivity desktop (for me). Nice. Eyefinity. Nicer.
Booh! to 16:9 screens. I would rather play (not that I do) HD content on 16:10. The "black bars" leave room for the taskbar and/or media control and/or subtitles out of the way of the picture.
Where I currently live it's hard to get anything decent, Eizo is way too expensive and no-one else seem to sell anything but TN screens here :(
@lemonadesoda - The new iMac screens are stunningly beautiful. They're back to the quality they used to have in the white-cased iMacs, which is to say, Cinema Display quality.
Yet again, it is design, style, and competition from Apple that makes the PC market make progress. Thank heavens for Apple. Just NEVER make me have to work in OSX. ;)
