Iolair is a new brand. However, it has already built a solid image as a company that offers low priced screens and an excellent chance of getting great value for money. This reputation is owed in large part to the 24'' M24W, which was successful beyond expectations. Will the M2BABW be able to repeat this winning formula?
No, not this time. This economical 22'' monitor behaves like others in its class: responsiveness is average and consistent with what we can expect from an advertised response time of 5 ms, default colours are OK but not too impressive (due to a washed out black, again) and the hardware is basic, to say the least: there is only an analog input (VGA) and that’s it!
However, the situation isn’t hopeless. You can improve the colours by setting Red to 50, Green to 38 and Blue to 41. You will still have the initial blue dominance and also a better than average color fidelity with an average difference of only 2.6.
