A
Closer Look:::...
Outwardly there's nothing too spectacular
about the E435S. The screen surround is about 3/4"
wide along the top and around 5/8" on the two sides.
The final "S" in the full part number
of E435S-S denotes the silver colour and there's also an
E435S-B (Black) and an E435S-W (White).
The thin frame design may be very common now
but I've seen older displays split diagaonally across the
corners after the stress of repeated heating and cooling
cycles as they're switched on and off. The E435S has a rib
running around the inside edge of the screen aperture that
may be there to reinforce the edges and in particular the
stress-prone corner sections.

Two
small circular grills situated to the bottom left and bottom
right of the bezel conceal the 2.5watt stereo speakers.

Rather
than hide the control switches under the bottom of the bezel
out of site, iiyama have placed them along the front in
full view. You may or may not prefer them in view like this,
personally I have no problem either way so long as they're
clearly labelled.
All
operations are controlled using just five buttons while
a sixth button powers the unit on and off.

The
back is equally unspectacular. There's a 100mm VESA mounting
for attaching to wall brackets and the like and there's
the swivel mounting for the stand. There are also various
input connectors and two rows of cooling vents.

There
are no loops, hooks or other restraining mechanisms for
holding and routing the cables, which must simply hang somewhat
untidily from the rear.

At
it's widest point we're looking at just 2 1/4" deep,
a touch more where the stand pivots. What I found particularly
incredible was the weight, just shy of eight pounds makes
this one very lightweight display, even by 17" LCD
standards.
Part
of this is no doubt due to the use of an external mid-cable
power transformer, an annoying feature until it fails and
you realise how much the repair would have cost were it
built into the monitor.
