    Resolution is 1920x1080 ie full hd

    Only drawback seems to be that it has VGA and not DVI if that bothers anyone

    Mine arrived the other day and i'm very happy with it :D:D

    As Full HD merely indicates that the display has a resolution of 1920 x 1080; the connectivity, whether analog or not, doesn't factor in, especially since VGA supports resolutions above 1920 x 1080.

    Because VGA can also distribute a 1920 x 1080P signal.

    Full HD is a loose term usually used to describe any display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

    EDIT, Ha, Rsaeire just beat me to it!:)

    Hm, very similar to the one I ordered for €150 (plus 15 del.) on iBood a few days ago. Only difference I see is the iBood one had 80k:1 contrast ratio, and has DVI.

    That Komplett one seems well priced if all it lacks is DVI, IMO. Maybe DVI is important if you intend displaying HDCP images?

    DVI cables are nowhere near as affected by interference as VGA cables, so this is another reason why DVI would be preferable. Also, as more and more graphics card manufacturers eschew analog outputs on their cards in favour of digital outputs, e.g. HDMI, buying a monitor with only a VGA input limits future connectivity options.
