    I have 2 matching Aria monitors. Bought from their warehouse in Manchester for about £130 about 14 months ago. They've been great.

    I got a Hyundai b70a, good looking, great quality on a special price from overclockers.co.uk (was a month or so back).

    Came to £100 inc postage. Very thin bezel, only VGA in but thats all I need on the one computer. Great quality picture, and looks nice (3year onsite warranty with Hyundai as well!).

    Cheers

    tee pee the offers normally refresh every 2-6 hours.

    so it is likely that more will show up as in stock in that sort of timeframe. aria is bizarre as they have allowances, whereby they only release so many of that item in that time frame, and then they release the same amount a bit later on etc, hence the counters changing quite a lot!

    Check back tomorrow morning would be my advice.

    Aria always have loads of the digimate monitors in. We buy loads of the 1715 screens from aria at my workplace - we were dubious at first because we'd never heard of them, but the quality of them is fantastic - bright colours, good viewing angle, good response time, and they don't feel cheaply made.

    If I was buying for myself, I'd definitely get a couple of these. They're better than the screens in a similar price range. Obviously if you're made of money, get a more expensive one, but I've certainly seen worse quality monitors for a higher price.

    (no, I don't work for them, just re-iterating what a few people have said :D)

    The only downside is that Aria's delivery can apparently be a bit expensive, but i think if you catch it when they're on a super special, you'll still save a fair bit of cash.

    wondered about the quality of those uber cheap screens from aria, keep getting emailed temting offers....

    I'm was seriously considering getting two of these ones to mount on the wall in front of my desk :)
    at that price, and with that warranty, multiple desktops a go-go :p

    I'm obsessed - but the latest price is now down to £93.94 inclusive of VAT! Then delivery on that, of about £8.
    VERY hard to beat.
