HP 2159M

HP 2159m

By David Field

HP 2159m review: HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

16:9, full HD resolution

HDMI overscans • Glossy screen • Overpriced

HP w185

HP w185

By Craig Simms

HP w185 review: Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

Low price

Limited adjustment • Poor viewing angles • Poor text quality

Dell ST2310

Dell ST2310

By Eric Franklin

Dell ST2310 review: The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.

It's a good-looking 23-inch monitor • Has HDMI and DVI support at a low price

Low brightness level keeps colours from really popping • It lacks ergonomic options • No extras

Compaq Presario Q2009

Compaq Q2009 LCD Monitor

By Alex Kidman

Compaq Q2009 LCD Monitor review: HP's budget line 20-inch monitor doesn't deliver any surprises, either nasty or nice. You just get what you pay for.

Inexpensive • Includes integrated speaker • 30 degrees of tilt

Image quality is very ordinary • Speaking of ordinary, say hello to the speakers

Asus MS246H

Asus MS246H

By Pam Carroll and Eric Franklin

Asus MS246H review: Asus' new Designo MS Series monitors are apparently "inspired by the binary state". Whatever that means, they're slim, attractive and built for high-definition video.

Great Specs

The glossy finish will attract fingerprints

ViewSonic VG2427wm

ViewSonic VG2427wm

By Eric Franklin

ViewSonic VG2427wm review: The ViewSonic VG2427wm has a good assortment of ergonomic options and great performance, but its asking price is just a bit too high to recommend.

Decent host of ergonomic options • Three USB ports • Great game and movie performance

Chassis feels hollow and fragile • OSD lacks useful options like presets

Dell UltraSharp U2410

Dell UltraSharp U2410

By Craig Simms

Dell UltraSharp U2410 review: The only way to get better quality than the Dell UltraSharp U2410 is to spend a lot more money — if you need a 24-inch, are on a budget but still need great quality images, we can wholeheartedly recommend this screen.

Great colours • Multiple inputs • Good adjustability • Affordable price ;

Inset panel can cause reflections

Dell UltraSharp U2410

We unbox Dell's 24-inch H-IPS monitor, promising better colour and viewing angles at an affordable price.

ACER G24

Acer G24 LCD Monitor

By Eric Franklin

acer g24 lcd monitor review: While its gaming performance is stellar, due to its ultra-glossy and reflective screen its viewing angle is unforgiving. It's also not the most ideal monitor for colour accuracy.

Fast game performance ; Is capable of displaying vibrant, smooth colours

Lacks ergonomic support ; Has an unforgiving viewing angle and an unintuitive OSD ; Lacks extras beyond HDMI support
