These are rich times indeed for those in pursuit of a modestly priced but surprisingly effective flat-panel. The BenQ E2220HD is such a device, not that you'd know it was cheap to look at it. Its subtle curves give it an air of quality that belies the ...

It's nice, though, to have the versatility - if you're often switching from text-work to gaming or photo work, for example, you'll be glad of the dedicated button

The DreamColor tag on the HP DreamColor LP2480zx - it appears only in marketing, and not on the monitor itself - comes from a collaboration between HP and SKG Dreamworks movie studio

We're also told that this 24-inch panel displays billions of colours, which may be true, but it's neither useful nor unique. Most high-end panels include 12-bit colour control rather than the HP DreamColor LP2480zx's 10-bit control but your eyes can't ...

Even with our dollar in freefall on the world markets, the cost of owning state-of-the-art LCD technology continues to tumble. Nothing illustrates this more graphically (excuse the pun) than ViewSonic's VX2433wm, a full high definition, 1080p-capable ...

The 24-inch (23.6-inch viewable) screen certainly will appeal to professionals who cram the desktop with numerous applications all at once; 1,920 x 1,080 really does provide a lot of space. You can easily browse the web and work on a word processing ...

When is a monitor no longer just a monitor? According to AOC, it's when you add the capability of playing media without connecting it to a PC. The 2230Fm encompasses that concept, and it certainly adds something new to what is already a good LCD monitor

The 2230 has a welcomed 2ms response time, so it would double as a good gaming monitor. And in fact, both games and DVDs ran fine on the monitor, with little ghosting or blurring. There was also very little backlight bleeding, and the glare panel ...

LCD monitor and iPod dock Buying a screen used to be a rather dull experience - one large, beige CRT looked pretty much the same as another. But since the flat-panel became mainstream, manufacturers have developed some great designs and features. ...

The ViewSonic's moulded, polished plastic curves are swish, but the design is functional as well. A volume dial is conveniently placed on the front of the base, as is a microphone. That's not all you'll find within easy reach, because the ViewSonic ...

19-inch LCD display Touting an incredible 2ms response time, the Viewsonic VX922 is most certainly an LCD panel aimed at gamers. Not only that, but with an RRP of $699 it's more than affordable; chances are you'll find it available for considerably ...

We put the VX922 to immediate use as a gaming monitor to see if it displayed any of the traits commonly found on poor-performing LCD panels: things like streaking, blurring and the general nastiness that occurs when the computer is moving visual ...

LCD monitor Replacing my fading, company-issue 19-inch Dell CRT monitor with a glossy-black 19-inch widescreen LCD by Asus certainly drew comments. There's no denying the visually striking design of the PW191, but good looks will only get you so far. ...

Native resolution on the 8ms panel is a decent - but not outstanding - 1,440 × 900, which provides a good comfortable working/playing environment for most people. However, those of us that like insanely high resolutions for either work or gaming may ...

What Matters: Inexpensive CRT and LCD models are suitable for general use, but many full-featured models are worth the extra cost

Shadow-mask displays employ a metal sheet perforated with small holes to focus an electron beam that illuminates phosphors on the inside of the tube. These monitors usually have a slightly curved face, though some flat-screen models are available. ...
