The VG800 is a low-cost 18in. LCD monitor, but you get what you pay for. Graphics professionals looking for top-notch ergonomics and digital inputs should look elsewhere, although it has more appeal for those on a limited budget.

High contrast ; inexpensive

No digital input ; no height adjustment ; tinny built-in speakers
