Best place to get a Iiyama ProLite E431S

[pesty]

Hello,

I need a TFT monitor for space reasons according to PC pro this is the best at my budget Iiyama ProLite E431S

Can anyone recomend a good place to get one from the net or otherwise?

Also does anyone know what type of DVI cable I need or are they all the same

Cheers

Phil

Got my Sony from www.digiuk.com - and I see they do Iiyama too
AFAIK they are all VGA. Isn't DVI just for Macs?

In the review it says works best using DVI cable but unfortunatley dosnt say what type


So I can asume its VGA at one end and DVI at the other as I have DVI output from graphics card.

Got me there, but wouldn't you get the appropriate cable with the monitor?

[pesty]

you get the normal cable so it will work its just that they recomend using the DVI cable.


Mind you they would wouldnt they

ps thanks for the site. They sell them but they do not say if they are in stock or not. Will ring them tomorrow.

DVI is universal - it ships video to the TFT digitally rather than in the traditional analogue fashion. The difference is noticeable. That said, DVI can also carry analogue signals as well. Most dual head graphics cards will give you at least one DVI output.

The mac thing you're thinking about is probably ADC - Apple Display Connector. Carries digital video, two USB ports and power, all up the same cable. Lovely

Phil,

I was looking for one of these but apparantly everyone is out of stock till the New Year, tried my usual suspects (Scan and Dabs) and they both report that Iiyama only shipped a handful initially with the rest to follow in January.

I'm probably going to get a Hercules Prophet 920 DVI instead, little bit more but highly rated by Toms Hardware.
