Anyone got any experience of them? I've been using 21" iiyamas for nearly 2 years now, and IMO they're some of the best monitors I've ever seen. The cheaper model is better, and has no detectable convergence problems. I've never seen that on any Trinitron or similar monitor, not even the (more expensive) iiyama model I bought by accident.
