Conclusion
This is an excellent monitor but the lack of hardware and design features keep it out of the five-star category.
The Iiyama ProLite XB2776QS just managed to scrape its way to a five-star score! It has a great set of hardware features, colour fidelity is excellent and contrast is above average. However, there's still some room for improvement, as the screen response time is a bit too low for gamers.
The LG Flatron E2351VQ is a 23" Full HD monitor with good contrast, a nice design and a reasonable price tag. Unfortunately, the disappointing overdrive mode stops this display delivering the kind of responsiveness you'd expect from a real "2 ms" panel. It therefore can't hope for higher than a three-star score in our review.
