Nice pics. Good review. Thanks.

great looking monitor. the center speaker placement does seem to be a bit out of place though.

You should really get a dvi cable. If you are currently using the vga cable in your pics, I think that you will be pleasantly surprised when switching to dvi.

[6785077276]

I doubt there is that much of a difference between VGA and DVI in terms of picture quality, it looks great to me at the moment via VGA. Maybe next month I'll switch to DVI. I have to buy a new graphics card with DVI output, since I only have VGA at the moment.

Lucky ****** ;)

Mine should arrive tomorrow :woot:

Do you have any dead pixels? I hope mine is free of them, as Belinea's dead pixel policy sucks.

[6785077276]

I have 0 dead pixels (well none that I can see anyway). No problems so far.

Nice review. I have a Belinea 17" CRT which is a really nice monitor. I saw this one and thought it looked good.

was looking for a new monitor and i think i just found out. Thanks :D

Any word on a US release? Or perhaps someone will sell a few through Neobay ;).

care to elaborate on that. Or even a link? I've always thought of them as the same as far as image quality since it doesnt seem VGA has reached its max potential anyways.

one can hope. Could we just pay a hefty shipping charge and get it or is there some kind of restriction?

[nomis_nehc]

don't buy into the tech talk. dvi is superior only when higher res is needed. current res, vga handles it just fine.

[6785077276]

Yeah, VGA looks excellent already on this screen. The DA to AD converter already does a great job. I've run some test patterns and everything is pin sharp. No interference whatsoever on the screen.

It's not out yet in the USA. Not sure when though. I don't think it will, since Belinea is a brand of maxdata which is based in Germany.

Has yours arrived?

[[idkfa]]

Not yet :(

According to DHL it's on the way to my local packet station, so maybe today in the evening or tomorrow it's here. I can't wait anymore :cry:

There is a review of this monitor on Overclockers.

Im thinking of getting one.

Have you tested this monitor with games yet ?

Can you see any backlight bleed ?

Thanks

[6785077276]

There is no backlight bleeding.

No ghosting in games.

Excellent screen for the price!

Nice screen. What speakers are those btw?

Hopefully someone like Viewsonic will use this screen on their own model.

Just get the Belinea. :D

-No height adjustment

overclockers.co.uk says: - Height adjustable stand (100mm travel)

Anyway the picture on my CRT is starting to go...and this baby is only ?340 on overclockers.co.uk

So tempting...

Hopefully someone like Viewsonic will use this screen on their own model.

Check out the Viewsonic VA2012W. Seems to have the exact same specs.

OMG that display absolutely rocks, no dead pixel :woot:

Now I just need decent wallpapers in 1680x1050

Click for another image

PROs/CONs:

+ Very good image and overall quality

+ no dead pixel

+ widescreen rocks :)

+ USB Hub (but didn't try it yet)

+ very nice design

+ good price

- no DVI cable included, only VGA (I had to buy one myself, and now the back plate which covers the cables doesn't fit anymore)

- USB Hub is at a strange position (it's meant for keyboard and mouse, I guess)
