Is it possible to base an LCD purchase strictly on the display's bezel? If so, Samsung has an LCD to sell you. The Samsung SyncMaster T220 features the company's new Touch of Color bezel, which presents a most attractive visage. The black frame features s...
Smashing good looks; matte finish means less glare than with glossy screens.
A tad on the pricey side; merely average performance and feature set; wobbly stand.
The Samsung T220 might be the most stylish LCD monitor we've seen, but average feature set and performance diminish its overall appeal. Despite its flashy looks, it's best used as a simple, productivity display.
Priced at $270, the Envision G2219w1 is a bit cheaper than the bulk of 22-inch LCDs that generally hovers around the $300 mark. The display, manufactured by AOC the company sells monitors under both the AOC and Envision brands, performed well on most of o...
Low price; decent performance overall.
Video connections limited to VGA and DVI; limited feature set does not include USB ports, Webcam, or speakers; color reproduction is lackluster.
The 22-inch Envision G2219w1 performed well in movie playback, games, and normal office use. Its color reproduction leaves something to be desired, however, and while it is aggressively priced, we'd recommend shelling out a bit more for a 22-inch LCD from...
The BenQ V2400W is the fourth 24-inch LCD we've reviewed this year and the third we'd recommend. The $600
Unique and aesthetically pleasing design with offset neck; thinnest 24-inch LCD we've seen; great overall performance, particularly on our contrast ratio benchmark when it exhibited deep blacks; easily accessible video connections.
Nonadjustable screen height; no screen rotation feature; OSD buttons are a little on the sensitive side; low maximum brightness.
With its offset neck and thin chassis, the BenQ V2400W presents a unique look. In addition to the sleek design, its low price and strong performance earn this 24-inch LCD our recommendation for home or office use.
With a list price of $429, the V7 D24W33 is the cheapest 24-inch display we've reviewed to date (and it can be found for as little as $399). The next closest in price is the Gateway FHD2400, which can be found for as low as $460. Gateway's LCD provides ma...
Inexpensive; excellent overall performance, particularly with DVD and games playback; minimal backlight bleed-through; screen rotation wider than most; useful pivot feature for office tasks; includes HDMI-to-DVI cable.
Narrow viewing angle; sparse video connections; volume on speakers is too low; a low maximum brightness.
Its video connections and viewing angles are limited, but the V7 D24W33 is about the cheapest 24-inch LCD monitor you'll find and proved itself to be a solid overall performer.
A 30-inch LCD from any of the handful of vendors that sell such a monitor--Apple, Dell, HP, Gateway, and Samsung--will set you back some. The Gateway XHD3000 is one of the more expensive models in this class of LCD, with a list price $1,699. It can be fou...
A truckload of connections and extras; impressive performance in sharpness and color tests; sharp picture quality with DVD and Blu-ray playback.
Built-in sound gets distorted at high volumes; its look is somewhat clunky with the speaker bar attached; a tad expensive.
Although it costs more than competing 30-inch LCDs, the Gateway XHD3000 goes a long way toward justifying its high price with a long list of features and outstanding performance.
There are only a handful of vendors--Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Gateway, and Samsung--that offer 30-inch LCD monitors at the moment, so your choices are limited if you're in the market for an extra large LCD. The Samsung SyncMaster 305T is a good place...
Great performance in color and sharpness; amazing viewing angle; Blu-ray and DVD image quality is some of the best we've seen.
Limited video connection options; includes only brightness controls (thanks to technical limitations); streaking apparent in DisplayMate test.
Thanks to its incredible viewing angle, high resolution, and stellar overall picture quality, Samsung's 30-inch SyncMaster 305T gets an assured recommendation.
The Gateway FHD2400 may be cheaper, but the Dell UltraSharp 2408WPF display is the better value of the two 24-inch LCD monitors. It performed outstandingly in our labs-based DisplayMate tests, delivering quite possibly the best image we've seen for DVD pl...
Strong overall performance; its tried-and-true design is both aesthetically pleasing and practical; video connections galore.
Cool preset mode is too blue; no digital audio connection.
The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.
