Yes, great brand, and 3yr onsite warranty with this on registration.
In the days of CRT, Iiyama were pretty much top of the pile. It took them a while to get back to that with flatscreens but they are certainly not a fly-by-night or no-name operation.
Great find, heat added
5/10
Guess I'll stick with a BenQ...

Heat.
1) I do not get why 144hz, is not 60hz or 120hz the standard?
2)what benefits do I get in visual reality by having 120hz or 144hz. Can anyone that own it confirm please?
3) obviously, in order to get the benefits, my GPU should produce these kind of frames, correct??or do I still get some benefits even if does not?
Thank You
From what I percieve, it does make a difference in the matter of First-Person Shooter gaming- Say games like Rust, Battlefield, COD(ugh) etc. If you're hitting 144 FPS+, then this monitor will do the trick. The difference might seem so infinitesimal, but if you had to go from using one 144Hz monitor then back to a standard 60Hz monitor, then you would notice the difference as you've grown accustom to the 144Hz perk.
This seems like an amazing price, but I'm not sure about the quality/longevity in comparrison to say Asus or BenQ; you get what you pay for. Personally, I'm waiting for 4k monitors to be more common, thus 144Hz monitors will drop dramatically in price- as seen with this deal.
I need something that's just good at colour representation I guess? I've not bought a monitor in YEARS, but my laptop screen just isn't good enough (it's too difficult to distinguish similar colours).
There's definitely no need for a 144Hz (or 120Hz) monitor for something as simple as photoshop work, 60 Hz is just fine.
While I can't recommend one offhand, I'd advise you just to look on your favourite PC hardware website at monitors, pick a few you like the look/price of & Google for reviews, specifically looking into colour representation.
Ta. Will do.
It's a TN panel with gamma and colour temperature not exactly accurate out of the box, not to mention viewing angles and grading problems. Get an IPS screen instead.
For this you will be wanting a monitor with an IPS panel. Great colours much better than a tn panel
In an ideal world I'd want an IPS panel with CCFL backlight rather than LED for photo work. This being a non ideal world I bought a Dell U2312HM which I'm very happy with.
