Id much recommend a BF6 or a BE6-2, both MUCH better than the BE6, do not buy a BE6, hehe.

We haven't had a great deal of luck with out llyama monitors. They are both on the fritz (after 2yrs) and the other monitors we bought at the same time are still kicking along fine.

Hi !

You want performance ? Well, instead of buying one BIG HD, buy 2 smaller (18Gb each), hook them on a Promise FastTrack RAID IDE controller and watch your PC flying...

Iiyama monitors ? really good.
Hey Daveleau, no luck with those ? What kind of users do you have ?
We have Iiyama monitors everywhere in our office, from 17" to 22". Picture quality is outstanding, great price as well !
