NEC Multiync 24WMGX3

NEC MultiSync 24WMGX3 review

By Andrew Harrison

For colour reproduction approaching that of a CRT, it's worth taking look at the NEC MultiSync 24WMGX3

Even backlighting across the entire panel, matte finish, excellent contrast and brightness

There are cheaper 26in montors around

You can buy a 26in monitor for less than £300 these days. So why should you look twice at a 24in model costing more than £600? It all comes down to picture quality.

TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS

TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS review

By Cliff Joseph

With the TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS, its producers QNAP have attempted to make the setup process as straightforward as possible. We take a look at a sample unit, to see how it performs.

Versatile RAID storage system with web server and encryption options

Expensive, poor documentation

There are two main types of RAID device available. The simpler models, which are mostly aimed at small business users, are supplied with hard disks already built-in so they can be plugged in and set up right away. The more complex models are aimed at ...

HP LP2480zx

LP2480zx DreamColor review

By Richard Leon

Born out of a partnership between HP and Dreamworks SKG, the LP2480zx has a lot of professional backing behind it. We see how well it performs.

High performance, wide gamut ; tilt, swivel and rotate ; robust build, effective OSD, multiple inputs, picture-in-picture

Expensive, stand hardware is slightly wobbly, OS X colour profile isn't accurate, control software doesn't support OS X (but isn't essential)

The DreamColor tag on this monitor - it only appears in marketing, and not on the monitor itself - comes from a collaboration between HP and SKG Dreamworks movie studio. The studio wanted a panel with a wide colour range and good linearity suitable ...

Apple LED Cinema Display review

Apple LED Cinema Display review

By Mark Hattersley

The new LED Cinema Display takes Apple's mid-range monitor in a completely new direction. But just how good is it, and can a glossy display ever be worth £635? Macworld takes a long, hard squint at Apple's new monitor (includes gamut chart testing).

Fantastic visual style, built in connections for MagSafe power and USB 2.0 ; high quality H-IPS display

Expensive ; glossy display doesn't offer accurate enough colour calibration for designers and photographers ; can't be adjusted in height ; Apple not offering adaptors for older Mac and MacBook owners

If you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro this is a truly great way to turn your laptop into a desktop computer, it's certainly more focused than any other display, and the built-in power and USB connections are a boon to any laptop owner. And there's no ...

BenQ G2400W / G2400WA / G2400WD / G2400WT

BenQ V2400W

By Richard Leon

With the release of Creative Suite 4, the designers amongst us will be looking for the highest quality displays within a reasonable budget to allow the best presentation of your design work. We take a look at six worthy contenders.

Inexpensive ; incredibly compact ; top design ; fast enough for most tasks ; 1.42GHz models include built-in wireless techs ; decent amount of memory... at last

Price rise on 1.42GHz models makes sense for wireless users only ; eMac better value if you don't have spare screen, keyboard/mouse

If we were recommending a starter system to someone (who hadn't already taken a side in the Mac versus Windows holy war), we wouldn't hesitate to send them in the direction of the Mac mini. It's a shame the prices had to go up, but the extra RAM fixes ...
