Iiyama E2200WS: To DVI or not to DVI?

Published by pj at 12:26 pm under hardware

This E2200WS Iiyama 22″ TFT, does it have a DVI connector?

Let’s see:

  • The box it shipped in has the “DVI” logo
  • All online tests I read, wrote about it having a DVI connector
  • Salesperson at Computerland said it contained everything I needed for DVI

Let’s take a look at what the manual thinks:

I take a second look at the box, and see: “Iiyama E2200WSV-B”. This type cannot be found on the iiyama website, nor any reviews seem to mention any differences.

What is happening here? I can return my E2200WSV-B to swap it for a E2200WS if I pay 50 more euro’s. It would have saved me several extra trips to the computer shop, due to the new one not being in stock.
Why, Iiyama?!

    Hmm… I’ve ordered that monitor a couple of weeks ago… still hasn’t arrived. I hope it has dvi :)

    On the page title is says:
    Iiyama TFT ProLite E2200WS 22″ 5Ms 2Sp Zwart

    But in the description they name it E2200WS-B1 again… i’m confused I think…

    It’s listed as having: DVI-D / 15 pins D-Sub VGA

    It was ~350 euro’s at salland (but on backorder)

    I’ll see soon enough… can’t be much longer before they deliver it.

    Salland has the WSV model for a lower price (320 euro’s), so I think you’re safe .. :)

    I am going to pick it up at Grafical for 378, if they have it. I don’t feel like going abroad to Raalte ;-)
