Our first Full HD 16:9 widescreen monitor has hit the labs. The Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS is a 22-inch display with a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, which means it has an ultra-tight pixel pitch. Does it do enough to win us over? Read on to find out...

Bought one of these a week ago and for the price I paid (Â£149) I think it's a bargin. I've had no problems with any of my games and aside from the black not always being black enough it suits my needs of gaming, website work and watching a few .mkv's perfectly.

This was looking excellent until I got to the part about no HDCP. I can forgive it for not having HDMI but no HDCP on a 1080p screen is a pretty big fail. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for an affordable 1080p screen that meets my needs.

I agree...I"m looking for something to double as a monitor for my 360...gotta have the HDMI

Denis_iii · 23rd Dec 2008, 14:27

take off the speakers, add hdmi and hdcp and i'd be ordering one right now

Tim S · 23rd Dec 2008, 15:03

The Viewsonic mentioned in the review is pretty good - we'll have a full breakdown on it over the festive period

hir0da · 23rd Dec 2008, 20:07

I've recently bought a Benq E2200HD, which Anandtech had reviewed last November. It's a pretty good LCD IMHO, and it has an HDMI port already. Hope you guys review that one too.

ambrose · 23rd Dec 2008, 23:23

i just received my dell monitor in this config- it's supposedly 21.5 ins but yeah it was hella cheap and im planning to mod the hell out of it so yeah $300AU i couldn't say no.
my dell 20 @ 1680x1050 had tight pixel pitch but this thing puts it to shame

i have a ps3 and was hoping to get some blu-ray action out of it, and you can get hdmi-dvi cables, but how do you get the sound going? thre's no freakin audio out >:B

itazura · 24th Dec 2008, 00:14

tempting for the price, but i'm not sure... not that i can afford another monitor for a month or so regardless!

E.E.L. Ambiense · 24th Dec 2008, 02:26

I dunno... personally, TN FTL, but I'm also a picky graphic designer by trade so I'm used to staring at a calibrated CRT or even a decent-quality IPS panel. I think my biggest gripe with this panel is simply the sheer massive res on the physical size of it. Too bloody small physically to support that res for my eyes. I recall my 20" Dell IPS that ran @ 1680 x 1050 was just a smidge on the small side for my eyes to be comfortable, but a jump to 22" at the res did it for me. Of course, the panel was crap. lol. But that's a whole other issue.

@ ambrose, you wont get 1080p bluray playback over a dvi-hdmi cord as this monitor doesnt have hdcp.

thehippoz · 24th Dec 2008, 04:14

your gonna need this http://www.antonline.com/p_CE-HM0021-S1-NX_511187.htm

1ly · 10th Jan 2009, 02:22

im not sure but i think the monitor does supply HDCP. just look at the iiyama page.

please tell me if im wrong, im really intrested in this but i need hdcp compatibility.
maybe some1 has experienced.
thank you

sgspencer · 14th Jul 2009, 16:54

I have the monitor (one of the first batch when it was released) and can confirm it supports HCDP fine - I've emailed the editor here to try to get the review corrected.
It seems rather shameful that bit-tech just assumed that HDCP wasn't supported, due to no mention of it on the box, and didn't even test their hypothesis.

Chr!s · 14th Jul 2009, 17:21

How are you finding the screen sgspencer?

This is on the short list for my new monitor.

rolly74 · 16th Jul 2009, 12:55

The Iiyama is a nice one, especially the price is attractive but you won't have HDMI and response time is 5ms only. I personally got the G2220HD from Benq which is Full HD 16:9 as well (1920x1080), if you want HDMI and 2ms response time the Benq E2200HD seems to be a great choice, got a lot of good reviews on various review sites and hardware forums.

Check out this review: http://www.trustedreviews.com/monito...sive-Review/p1, it does not only talk about the Iiyama but compares it to the HANNspree Xm-S Verona W22 and the BenQ G2200WT. Good read, check it out!
