Re: filmscanners: OT: Monitor Purchase



Personally I like Iiyama (pronounced "eee-yama") monitors. Yet to see a bad
one (or even merely average) and they have a 3 -year ("usually" 24 hour)
swapout policy in the UK. At any particular price point IMHO there's rarely
anything significantly better.

I don't see what the big problem with the lines with AG - they are not
always visible depending on what you are viewing.
