Personally, if it's not a reputable brand of LCDs such as Viewsonic and/or NEC, I wouldn't bother.

I know, but with Christmas knocking at the door and all the presents I have to make, I think this is the best quality / price balanced monitor (220 Euro).

I'm not sure where to look for prices in Europe, but the Viewsonic VA1912wb should be at a similar price with 3 years warranty.

The one I wanna buy comes with 3 years warranty too plus I get dead-pixel warranty too.

well the specs seem fine, but like others said, the manufacturer?...

a dead pixel warranty is nice tho. any place ur planning to buy this from so i can check for other monitors there? and whats ur price range?

You have to take a look at the manufacturer of the LCD panel itself (not the casing and everything else around it). It might be an NEC or some other brand, but most of these small LCD monitor manufacturers just buy standard parts, assemble them into their own case and sell them.

The panel is made by NEC And I'm getting it for 220 euro in 3 monthly installments

I sold Yakumo years ago in Holland. Always they used tubes from Samsung and Daewoo, LCD screens were from Samsung or NEC too.

I read that the power supply is internal and I’ve only seen bad TFT/LCD screens with external power supply like GEM.

Did you take a look at Hyundai too? They have nice screens for low prices…
