I'm looking at getting one of these but was wondering, are they any good?

Is it both analogue and digital? Is the price about right?

Cheers!

Yes.
1 x D-Sub mini 15 pin = conventional VGA

1 x DVI-D = DVI digital (needs a video card with a digital output)

3.5mm mini jack = audio to the speakers

Looks pretty good to me, although I haven't been paying attention to LCD prices as it's just too depressing! (my 18" DVI Sony was the far side of £1200, but that was two and a half years ago)

I'd say it's definately worth getting DVI - I've known people have trouble with analog not synching 100% reliably, introducing a shimmering to the image (easily tweaked, but annoying to have to keep doing it).

And LCDs in general are much easier on the eyes - I can look at this one all day long (can't say the same for CRTs)

Nice one, think I might take the plunge then.
