NEC is better known for its reference-quality monitors than for providing bargain-basement gaming panels, but with an asking price of £181, this 22-inch example will certainly be within the realms of affordability for most PC enthusiasts. ...

The NEC is an excellent TN-based panel that's equally well suited to business and gaming use thanks to its mixture of great image quality and high-end stand features. Other firms may offer full HD panels for the same money or less, but you'll usually ...

Most monitors, like televisions, are black. Either that or silver. Other colours are generally frowned upon. Woodgrain casing, for example, went out in the seventies (thankfully). With the release of the M2200HD, BenQ has decided to ...

We weren't sold on its styling, but the M2200HD provides a quality picture, although the dynamic contrast feature produces variable results. At this price point, the inclusion of a webcam in the package is pretty impressive, too.

The latest series of monitors from LG is the W53 range, and this not-so-little beast is the 23-inch model. It looks much as we've come to expect from LG: a slick black panel, with a trendy ...

This 1920 x 1080 display is impressively sharp and provides a rich, colourful picture across its ample 23 inches of screen. We found the auto-brightness feature to be a useful innovation, and about the only facet of the W2353V we weren't keen on was ...

A 22-inch widescreen display is either a good sized monitor or a small television. Although in the case of the M2294D it's both, as the unit has a built-in digital TV tuner and comes with a ...

This LG display has a high quality picture and plenty of connectivity options. It's an excellent solution for those who want a monitor-TV combination, and the only weak point here is the poor sound from the built-in speakers.

There seems to be an increasing demand for 22-inch monitors at the moment, with both business and home users demanding that extra width and space for presentations, graphics, movies and games. With this sudden surge in ...

The Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX is an average quality 22-inch monitor with the added bonus of a relatively sharp, repositionable 7-inch monitor attached, which is space-saving and will be useful for multiple operations. The cost, though, may be a ...

One of the few advantages of the current depressing state of the economy is the compulsion that most retailers have to lower their prices more than usual, in order to attract customers with dwindling disposable income. ...

On the whole this is a perfectly respectable DVI-D capable monitor for relatively undemanding gamers and CAD users, who are not looking for anything too high spec and are happy to leave the controls to Auto. HD lovers will want to spend more and look ...

At the time of writing, the SP2309W, a full 1080p 23-inch widescreen TFT display, was selling for just north of £220. Factor in that it includes a built-in webcam and has a native resolution of 2048 ...

A strong, vibrant, HDMI-enabled screen at a tantalising price. Just be warned about the soundbar issue and the less-than-perfect viewing angle.

BenQ has been steadily building a reliable reputation for multifunction monitors that suit a variety of sources, but until recently hasn't given much research and development time to pushing back the style boundaries. However, that changes ...

If you want stylish beauty and slimness in design, then the V2400W is one of the classiest monitors in town. Yet the restrictions on manoeuvrability and less impressive viewing angles and grey scales mean there's still room for improvement.

The competition in the computer monitor market is fierce at the best of times, but now that customers are increasingly having to tighten their constantly pressurised budgets, it's the monitors that can offer the greatest versatility ...

A stylish and versatile HD monitor that has a host of fun and tailor-made controls to maximise viewing pleasure and accuracy, whether you're playing fast-paced action games or watching the latest Blu-ray movie.

LCD monitors come in two main varieties; regular and widescreen. Widescreen devices are intended primarily for those who want to watch movies or TV, or to play games on their machines, as well as to work ...

There are lots of 19-inch LCD monitors around, but few under £100 have acrylic screens and DVI built in. This all-digital connection offers quite an improvement to screen image quality, without the need to fiddle with settings or even press the Auto ...
