Find The Right Computer Peripherals

ASUS VH236H - LCD display - TFT - 23"

The Asus VH236H is a great-performing 23-incher with a welcoming low price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 23 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.266 mm, 2 ms

HP Deskjet D2660 Printer

HP's basic Deskjet D2660 inkjet has a fold-up paper tray and a unique paper corral that make it easy to store away. We noticed several flaws in the output quality, but if you don't expect too much in terms of photo output, this $50 inkjet will make an excellent at-home printer for intermittent use.

Specs: Personal printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

NEC MultiSync EA221WM-BK

The NEC MultiSync EA221WM has a host of features and good overall performance for a fairly high price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 5 ms

Dell Professional P2210 22-inch monitor

The Dell P2210 is a low-price, feature-rich choice for all your office and general computing needs.

LG Flatron W2053TQ

The LG Flatron W2053TQ has useful power consumption options, but a badly designed onscreen display.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20 in - Widescreen, 1600 x 900, 2 ms

HP 2009m

The HP 2009m is a good-looking 20-inch display with enough features to make it well worth its low price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20 in - Widescreen, 1600 x 900 / 60 Hz, 0.2768 mm, 5 ms

Acer G24

The Acer G24 is great for gaming, but not much else.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.27 mm, 2 ms

HP Officejet 6000

We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer. The print quality meets HP's high standards, and it outputs full color photos at an impressive rate, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, the HP Officjet 6000 performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Workgroup printer, None, None, None, PC, Mac, 1 year warranty, USB, Ethernet

Razer Mamba

Even semicompetitive PC gamers can get away with a less expensive mouse, but for the most dedicated, the Razer Mamba provides unmatched precision whether it's connected directly to your PC or set free in wireless mode. If Razer fixed a few design and features issues, we'd feel better about the price.

Microsoft SideWinder X8 Mouse

Microsoft's SideWinder X8 isn't the only mouse that can swap seamlessly between wired and wireless modes; however, between its BlueTrack sensor and its on-the-fly macro recording capability--not to mention a competitive price--we imagine few PC gamers won't want to get their hands on it.

Specs: External, PC, AA type, USB, 4000 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wireless, Optical, Black

Logitech G19

Logitech's $200 G19 Gaming Keyboard boasts a built-in color LCD with exciting capabilities, as well as lots of little improvements over previous models. But with few apps--thus far--that take advantage of the screen in a meaningful way, the G19's potential remains largely untapped. Until the community software effort gets rolling, we can't recommend spending this much on a keyboard that, while flashy, has yet to realize its full potential.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, Hi-Speed USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wired

Canon Pixma MX860

The Canon Pixma MX860's auto-document feeder, large LCD screen, and quick print speeds are sure to increase your productivity, but it also includes plenty of software to nourish your creative interests. At $199, this multifunctional printer earns our recommendation.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

Nyko Wand (Wii)

The absence of products that support Trans-Port and the uncertainty of MotionPlus compatibility may have you waiting until you pull the trigger on a Nyko Wand.

Canon Pixma MX330

The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$150 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.

HP Photosmart C6380 all-in-one

The HP Photosmart C6380 is a good fit for beginning photographers who want more than just a simple printer. Its six-ink cartridge bay, and scanning and copying capabilities extend its versatility, and while the output quality suffers a few missteps, the C6380 remains a worthwhile deal for the money.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 dpi

Canon Pixma MP980

The Canon Pixma MP980 multifunction printer, copier, and scanner are a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition. The HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one is a less expensive alternative that adds value with a fax machine and faster, higher quality output.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 9600 x 4800 dpi

HP Color LaserJet CP1215

The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 12 pages/min, 8 pages/min, PC, USB

Dell SX2210

The Dell SX2210 is a well-priced 16:9 monitor with high performance and enough features to satisfy most.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.248 mm, 2 ms

Lenovo L215p

The Lenovo L215p is a high-performing, low-priced 16:9 monitor with some useful features.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 21.5 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz, 0.248 mm, 5 ms

HP Officejet J4680

The HP Officejet J4680 offers more features at a cheaper price than most of its competitors, and small offices and home professionals will appreciate its print quality as well. Unfortunately, its negatives far outweigh the positives: your office productivity will take a major hit because of sluggish output speeds and faulty paper handling. For a better rounded all-in-one printer, we recommend picking up the Lexmark x7675 Pro or investing an extra $90 in the HP Officejet J6480.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi
