I got one of these about 18 months ago (for significantly more than it is going for now - 250 I think:eek: !) and I have had no problems with it.

I got one stuck pixel after about a year of use - but it is not that noticeable and well within international spec ( I think that you a manufacturer is allowed a good few dead pixels before a consumer is allowed call it a manufacturing defect!)

Mine has DVI input aswell, though the specs on the ALDI website don't state it for the model on offer. The built in speakers are crap - but I don't use them and all monitors would have the same problem with built in speakers. All cables are included with the monitor. The mild complaint I would have is that the screen is not tiltable - but that is not too important for me.

It is a good monitor - and a good price - so I'd say go for it if you need one!

Good points would be the 3 year warrenty and the brightness rating of 300cd/m2

Negitives would be it's not a 19", and it only has a vga connection, no dvi connection.

Looks good value for money, but for another €35-€50 you could get a 19" at pixmania.com, if you use your pc alot might be worth the extra euros getting a 19". I got a 19" in pixmania few months ago, and am looking at getting another this week, unless I find somewhere cheaper to get one.

I got the 19" the last time it was out.. €279 so its about the same as from komplett when you add shipping etc etc.

You would be better to try get the 19" when it comes out.. it has a DVI connection too!!
