[DinnyHoon]

How reliable are these monitors? Did any break/malfunction at/since XL?

[KONSPIRACY]

I can honestly say that all 72 monitors at XL exceeded my expectations and it simply confirmed what an excellent choice we made by investing in these iiyama monitors. I dont think there was even 1 dead pixel out of all 72 screens and the feedback received has been overwhelming positive. :cool:

[Roadpog]

I tell you what. I was ready to steal one Haha :p

[Gaskin]

Sick Sick.

[Terbinator]

if money earned is being re-invested into XL wouldnt it make more sense just oo kepp the monitors? whats the res of these?

[Gaskin]

The monitors at XL are not being sold you dummy. :D

These are the same monitors that XL uses, not the EXACT ones. XL won't get money for these sales lol.

[Terbinator]

:omy mistake. the way its worded makes it sound as if they were the ones used:D

[DinnyHoon]

A reliable 20" monitor for £130 is a hard find. I'll definitelyh be looking at these when I build my rig.

*bookmarks*

[BsE Weasel]

i might invest in one of these bad boys, i was really impressed with the response rate and clarity when playing them at XL

[Bonzo]

These are the same monitors that XL uses, not the EXACT ones. XL won't get money for these sales lol.
Shame, they should be surely. Not even a refer link to track the sales?

[KONSPIRACY]

Gaskin is referring to sale of the monitors we own...which obviously we're not selling! If you'd like to purchase one of our old 28" TVs then I'd be more than happy to strike you a deal! ;)

As stated in the first post, XL will receive a small commission for units sold which will be reinvested into more monitors at XL.

[Lethal]

I bought mine today and the delivery time is very fast. Ordered it at 3pm and will receive it Monday morning :eek:

[McGlock]

I bought mine today and the delivery time is very fast. Ordered it at 3pm and will receive it Monday morning :eek:

ditto :)

[NeoKubrick]

Yeah, PES looked great on these screens. Definitely going to buy one.

[McGlock]

I got mine today and i love it, one thing i will say though is make sure you have all the right sound cables/speakers as it only has like 1 input and the only way i could get my xbox sound to the monitor was by using the soundcables that came with my turtlebeaches.

[KONSPIRACY]

You just need the Xbox 360 VGA cable and a phono to 3.5mm adaptor (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1218&C=Froogle&U=1218&T=Alias&MA=2%20Phono%20to%203.5mm%20Stereo%20Adaptor).

If you buy the official Xbox VGA cable, then you get the sound adaptor as well.

[Bonzo]

EDIT: Doesn't matter now, Spin helped me. Sorted.

[Bonzo]

EDIT: I've fixed it, don't all reply at once.

[BsE Weasel]

getting paid 31st may so gna buy one :)

[TI Potential]

I'm confised, what exactly do you need, i already have the VGA cable, i dont think its the official one though, what do i need

On that Phono thingy what colours are the two at the back suppose to be? What does that allow you to do? will i get sound or is there something else i need to buy

Respond ASAP..

Any chance of someone taking a few pics and posted it to share with me?

[KONSPIRACY]

If you already have the VGA cable then you will see that it has 2 audio cables (red and white).
You just need a 3.5mm to phono (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1218&criteria=3.5mm%20to%20phone&doy=23m6) converter to plug into the audio socket of the monitor.

[TI Potential]

that converter, i have one which i found randomly in my house, does the back colours have to be red and white also or can they both be yellow, because mine are yellow

[KONSPIRACY]

Post a picture of what you've got. Yellow is usually the video signal. Sounds like you've got the standard RBG/Scart cable not the VGA.

[TI Potential]

The big VGA cable that goes into to the back of your xbox has two things on the other end, the VGA thingy and the red and white colours at the end, i then have that phono item which has two yellow holes at the end to plug 2 things into it, dont the colours have to match?

[KONSPIRACY]

Just means the audio may come out of wrong channel. Test with headphones...you got a 50-50 chance of gettin it right! ;)

[SrT Sacred]

How many monitors have been sold via the link now Chris? Just curious to see if the one i bought contributed to a nice little sum for a little more hardware at the next event.

[TI Potential]

i havent bought mine yet, ive just got the cables ready, should be buying mine within the next week or 2

[Terbinator]

it doesnt matter if they are yellow, audio will still come through, im using a converter similair to that now!

[KONSPIRACY]

@ Chris - I dont have exact figures at the moment but we will be receiving a few additional monitors thanks to ppl buying iiyama monitors on our recommendation. Thanks again to everyone for their support :cool:

[xellenta]

Hopefully i'll be buying the 22" this month, if I get paid on Friday.

TV better be worth it!

[KONSPIRACY]

They are monitors not TVs! ;)

[xellenta]

you know what I mean:D

[KONSPIRACY]

In that case you wont be disappointed ;)

[xellenta]

has anyone tried the 22" with a PS3?

I'm planning on buying it for both 360/PS3 and was hoping it featured 1:1 pixel mapping.

Edit: Does the monitor even feature HDMI?

[xellenta]

Iiyama - HDMI? Anyone...? plz?

[vVv BloodFest]

Erm, i have a worry. Today i tried to play GoW on my sisters 19" HD tv after previously playing on a 28" standard def tv. When i went onto that, i couldnt play the same way i could on the standard def and i dont think i cud get used to it. Will the monitors be in HD or will they be in standard def?

Monitors are HD. The type of display output HD or SD will not effect your play. Not all monitors are the same, your sister might have a 'bad' monitor with a high responce time like 10ms, that will effect your play. The XL monitor won't.

[KONSPIRACY]

Correct. You dont have a choice to have SD or HD on a monitor with VGA...its HD like it or leave it. TBH if you prefer playing in SD then I suggest you move with the times and get used to HD gaming the way it should be played! ;)

[AquilA]

I was about to confirm my purchase when i realised that they won't work in the Netherland as we got other power supliers.
we got these in the Netherlands: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Stekker.jpg/800px-Stekker.jpg

[Terbinator]

converter possibly?

[KONSPIRACY]

One of these should do the job Aquila: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Adaptor-Pin-into-Plug/dp/B000MVDD2E

Pretty sure you could ask them to send a suitable power cable when you order anyway.

[AquilA]

When I went to America I took an European Xbox to check if I could play the US games but I couldn't even start my xbox WITH a converter. So I'm not taking the risk and I'll stick with my HP 5 ms monitor.

[KONSPIRACY]

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about international power supplies but I really dont see the problem with at least enquiring by giving them a call tbh.

You should at least give them a call, their staff are very friendly and up to date on technology.

[AquilA]

I think I'm buying it on a dutch site, only 189 Euro's, no risk same/less price.
But sorry for not supporting you:p I think I spent enough money on the XL tickets, 368 pounds:p haha

[TI Potential]

How long is the delivery time on these, i oreder mine about 2 hours ago.. Will i expect mine tomorrow or friday?

[KONSPIRACY]

Prob depends on what time is was despatched, but expect it by the end of the week.

Please post again when you receive it so we can see how they are performing.

[TI Potential]

I received a phone call 2 hours after i ordered asking when exactley would i like it delivering and the are do next day delivery, so i should have it tomorrow

[KONSPIRACY]

Nice one :cool:

[X p I i C 1 T]

Guys just wondering are these monitors HD. If so what cables do I need and what settings does my xbox have to have.?

[KONSPIRACY]

Yes it will make your Xbox 360 display in HD.

All you need in the Xbox 360 VGA cable and a phono to 3.5mm converter for sound.

[X p I i C 1 T]

Thanks mate, what exactly is the VGA cable - is that the slider from tv to hd and how much are these.? sorry for been stupid..

[KONSPIRACY]

This is what you need: http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=xb360a011

You can get the official Xbox 360 one for £20 (includes the audio converter) or a 3rd party one off ebay for about £5.

[X p I i C 1 T]

swnd mate.. thank, i thought they wud be but it doesnt say they are hd ready or out.. cheers anyway

[Bonzo]

swnd mate.. thank, i thought they wud be but it doesnt say they are hd ready or out.. cheers anyway
By using a VGA cable the only signal you recieve is HD.

[X p I i C 1 T]

Thanks, however i can t get my head round a LCD monitor been HD with one lead, this makes no sense to me as in the description of the monitor is never mentions HD

[KONSPIRACY]

I believe its all about the pixels on screen...basically most modern monitors are capable of displaying at "HD" ratios. Whether or not its truely HD I dont know, but I'm pretty sure a tech head will come along soon and explain everything.

[X p I i C 1 T]

lol k thanks.

[BsE Weasel]

ordered mine yesterday and 10 mins later they rang up asking if the next day (today) was ok for delivery, excellent service. got mine tday and its awesome..i swear they were smaller at XL though!

[KONSPIRACY]

Sure you ordered the 20"? lol :D

[Spindryer]

They really are awesome monitors, i think we have yet to have one die on us at XL and that's after having the sitting on a hot 360 for 12+ hours a day.

[EduTech]

ordered mine yesterday and 10 mins later they rang up asking if the next day (today) was ok for delivery, excellent service. got mine tday and its awesome..i swear they were smaller at XL though!

If you ordered the 20" monitor and your saying its looks smaller at XL then it does in your Home. then i can agree with you.

The one i am useing now.. same as XL.. and looks bigger in my own house then it does at XL. i think it due to the fact that inyour own home your room aint as big so a 20" monitor looks huge but when your in a place such as Cranmore Park.. the screen looks tiny :P

But yh these are fantastic monitors.. and No we aint had one break at XL even through the hard work they do :)

James.

[St1ck1eZ]

Question : Is this monitor better than the one that i have now (Samsung Synmaster 206bw) :)

[KONSPIRACY]

Buy one and found out. ;)

[SrT Sacred]

Question : Is this monitor better than the one that i have now (Samsung Synmaster 206bw) :)

No it isn't but the iiyama is slightly cheaper. ;)

[St1ck1eZ]

No it isn't but the iiyama is slightly cheaper. ;)

Oke thanks, the only problem with my monitor is that i can't plug my headset right in but with the iiyama you can and adjust the volume of it :D

[KONSPIRACY]

IMO that makes the iiyama > Samsung ;)

[EmotionSMz]

Its pretty much a must buy for people who want to win at XL, because what you see at home will be what you see at XL, therefore you wont have to change ur sensitivity or change the angle you sit to watch your screen. All the MLG pros use the MLG tvs/monitors so i dont see why it should change for the EU. Trying to find an excuse to buy one lol i only got a new monitor not long ago.

[BsE Weasel]

might sound a bit silly, but whats the resolution used on the monitors at xl? i dont know which is best lol

[KONSPIRACY]

1280x720.

[BsE Weasel]

thanks kon :) x

[xellenta]

Can someone help plz, my 20" arrived today. Only got 2 sockets, one is the VGA cable input and the other is a blue one. Trying to connect this via vga and it ain't working, I plug in the ps3 part in, then connect it to the mointor and I get a message saying "Out of range".

I'm using his cable http://www.amazon.co.uk/Playstation-Nintendo-Monitor-Cable-Lead/dp/B0015MISAG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1219778413&sr=8-1

is there something i'm missing?

[KONSPIRACY]

An Xbox 360 VGA cable would be a good start!

[xellenta]

Does the TV work with PS3 though?

Edit: I mean monitor

[KONSPIRACY]

Oooh your trying to use on a PS3?

In that case, its probably a simple setting in the PS3 console settings. On the Xbox 360 it auto detects as VGA input and I dont have a PS3 so cant really give you nay advise personally. May be one of the BsE lads could give you some better advise.

Does it work with your Wii?

[xellenta]

Sorry was half asleep last night.

err well the situation is, i've tried changing my display settings on PS3 to Component/D video (cant remember specifically) as it mentions on the VGA cable box. When I use hdmi a message appears on the TV saying "signal cable not connected". Although when I switch to component / D-cable it says "out or range".

My 360 VGGA cable hasn't arrived yet, should arrive before Friday though, if no1 can help i'll just phone iiyama and find out whats wrong.

Cheers!

Edit: don't have a wii lol.

[KONSPIRACY]

It will be a problem with the cable or console. I take it you've tested the monitor on pc?

[xellenta]

ye got the 360 vga cable today, works perfect. seems a bit blury, was like that at XL5 though. Easy to get use to, nothing big.

[KONSPIRACY]

Shouldnt be blurry at all tbh. Make sure you have your settings correct (widescreen, 1280x720). Obviously you can adjust the monitor settings to whatever you feel is best.

[Bonzo]

Shouldn't be blurry, it should be nice and crispy. I think you might need some glasses if it seems blurry to you.

[MartZ]

reely gd price that :P

i had tht problem :/ xbox has ****ed vision haha

[leyton1990]

Just purchased one. Any1 know how long they take to deliver?

[KONSPIRACY]

Should have it by Monday or Tuesday mate.

[leyton1990]

nice

[leyton1990]

Kon these moniters arent compatible with xbox360. brought one thinking its the same moniter as i used at XL (Official XL moniter) as stated and all it has is VGA ports. whats going on Kon?

[KONSPIRACY]

The monitors are compatible with Xbox 360 as we use them at XL...we own 80 of them and I wouldnt be advertising them like that otherwise! :p

Obviously a monitor isnt going to have scart or component input so I presume its a simple case of you not having purchased the Xbox 360 VGA cable:

Official VGA from Gamestation (£19.99):
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=xb360a011
(includes the phono to 3.5mm converter)

...or you can get an unofficial one from ebay for about £8 (does not include audio converter).

[leyton1990]

k ive just purchased one of them kon. but still having trouble.

[leyton1990]

anychance you can go on msn kon?

[KONSPIRACY]

I'm on msn: konspiracyrecords@hotmail.com

[EmotionSMz]

Kon these moniters arent compatible with xbox360. brought one thinking its the same moniter as i used at XL (Official XL moniter) as stated and all it has is VGA ports. whats going on Kon?

Thats all its supposed to have, then you use one of those small adapters for the sound. No monitors have anything other than VGA.

http://www.new-monitors.co.uk/fulldetail.asp?ID=244
is this one better because i might but this for a few quid more

[KONSPIRACY]

Other than being 2 inches bigger theres not much difference from what I can see in specs.

[iRippiNz]

hi konspiacy it is my 14th birthday today and i got the monitor as a present i set it all up but the colour is all different how do i change it ?
Thanks iRippiNz

[KONSPIRACY]

For brightness and contrast:
Press enter > luminance

For colour:
Press enter > colour

There are 3 presets for colour but you can change to your own custom settings by going into user preset.

[MartZ]

nvm got a HD 8D

[marct]

where does xl get them from and can I get 1 from a shop not online.

where can I get 1 of these monitors not online but in shops? can anyone tell me any options?

[KONSPIRACY]

We buy them direct from iiyama.

I dont know where you can purchase from a shop, however I advise that you purchase online as the prices are guaranteed to be a lot cheaper.

[I CozMic I]

hey, i bought a monitor got it on the response is nice and its reallly crispy with no lag, im using a official 360 vga cable but i have one problem the pictures not really fuzzy but seems a bit bland if you no what i mean iv gone through the settings like colour and brightness etc and its still the same i dunno if this is how its meant to be or not but it would be cool if you had a picture of some gameplay or pregame lobby in halo 3 or something along the lines of that to see if mines the same cheers.

[KONSPIRACY]

A photo wont really show much tbh...try the XL Summer gallery as theres some Halo3 carnage reports in there. We use one of the presets on monitor settings and everything is crytsal clear and colourful.

[I CozMic I]

they look really nice wht setting do you use like brightness and contrast.

[KONSPIRACY]

I believe the main setting is having the colour preset being set to 6500k. The other settings are down to personal preference:

Luminance:
Brightness ~ 80-100
Contrast: ~ 80

Colour:
Preset: 6500k

Miscellaneous:
Sharpness: 3
DDC/CI: On (dont think it makes much difference)
DCR: Off (dont think it makes much difference)
OD: 0 (dont think it makes much difference)

Kon is it hd
im buying 1 soon coz they were great at xl5

[KONSPIRACY]

All LCD monitors display in HD resolutions.

I've just been informed that iiyama have stopped producing the E2003WSV which we use at XL so if you want one of these then you best order quick.

[JA]

I might purchase one. :o

will there be any left by xmas as thats wen im getting my money

[KONSPIRACY]

I doubt it tbh. There may be stock left on other retail websites but highly unlikely they will have any left on Continental.

Obviously iiyama have a large range of monitors and we will have to look at a different monitor now for XL when adding more stations, but will continue to use the current E2003WSV for a long time to come.

[xellenta]

Is there anyway you can record (gameplay) with the 20"?
