NEC MultiSync EA221WM / EA261WM

The NEC MultiSync P221W has wide viewing angles, a robust and easy-to-navigate onscreen display, accurate colors, and several useful ergonomic options

The NEC MultiSync P221W has a fairly high asking price, no extra video or USB connections

The NEC MultiSync P221W has some of the most accurate colors we've seen, but it is light on features.

W2486L-PF

The LG Flatron W2486L offers great performance in games and has one of the thinnest designs we've seen of any size

The LG Flatron W2486L lacks ergonomic features, has a low brightness level, and its color reproduction looks dull compared with its competitors

The LG Flatron W2486L is a great LED-backlit monitor that few will choose over its main competitor.

Dell ST2310

The Dell ST2310 is a good-looking 23-inch monitor with HDMI and DVI support at a low price

HP 2709m

The HP 2709m includes screen tilt and swivel, built-in speakers, and an ambient light sensor

The HP 2709m has frequent screen tearing in games and movies, and its presets over-saturate the colors

The HP 2709m's lack of features makes it less desirable than HP's own similarly priced w2558hc.

Mimo UM-720S

The Nanovision Mimo UM-720S has a sleek design and is useful for small apps like IM clients

The Nanovision Mimo UM-720S is too expensive for what it offers, has a bad viewing angle, a confusing setup process, and a touch-screen feature that doesn't work

The Nanovision Mimo UM-720S is strictly a novelty item and not worth its price.
