Find The Right Computer Peripherals

BenQ V2400 Eco

The BenQ V2400 Eco is a solid monitor that just can't compare with the best there is in price and performance.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.276 mm, 5 ms

ViewSonic VP2365wb

The ViewSonic VP2365wb has solid performance, but its low brightness gives images an overall dull look.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 23 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 14 ms

Samsung SyncMaster T260HD

CNET did not review the Samsung SyncMaster T260HD, but we did review a smaller model in the series.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 25.5 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 5 ms

Dell UltraSharp U2410

The Dell UltraSharp U2410 is a feature-rich monitor that performs great while watching movies and playing games.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 6 ms

HP LP3065

The HP LP3065 has stellar performance, but its lack of adjustment features and connection options makes its high price difficult to swallow.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 30 in - Widescreen, 2560 x 1600 / 60 Hz, Silver, 12 ms

Adesso WKB-3100UB wireless keyboard with trackball

For $79.99, you're better off buying a cheaper wireless keyboard than the Adesso WKB-3100UB--one that uses encryption and has a longer battery life for your sofa Web-surfing and portable-typing needs.

Specs: 11.7 in x 5.9 in x 1.1 in, External, PC, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Optical, Trackball

Kodak ESP 5250

Kodak's ESP 5250 multifunction printer isn't marred by the errors of its predecessors, but it still needs improvement before it can keep up with the competition. Right now, its pleasing photo quality and satisfactory output speed don't justify the $170 price tag and lack of features.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 dpi

Razer Orochi

The Orochi, Razer's first gaming mouse designed for notebooks, combines a small size and Bluetooth connectivity with a feature set normally seen only on larger gaming mice.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wired, Wireless, Laser, Black

Apple Magic Mouse

Apple's new wireless Magic Mouse gets a sleek makeover and even has multitouch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion rather than a full-size desktop accessory. The swiping gestures add interactivity to Web browsing and media, but the awkwardly narrow single button design leaves us reaching for better mice from Logitech and others.

Specs: Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later, External, Mac, AA type, Mouse, Mouse, Wireless, Laser, Bluetooth

NEC MultiSync P221W

The NEC MultiSync P221W has some of the most accurate colors we've seen, but it is light on features.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 8 ms

Logitech MK700

Although it's not our favorite keyboard and mouse combination, the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 set earns our recommendation for its comfortable "Incurve" key design, quick scrolling mouse, and impressive battery life. If you're looking to upgrade your input devices and are on a budget, this $100 combination deserves your attention.

Specs: External, PC, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Optical, Mouse

Mint Studio Speaker System

The Mint Studio Speaker System combines a great-sounding iPod speaker dock with the ability to wirelessly stream audio from any PC or Mac to up to three speaker docks.

AOC V22 Verfino

The AOC V22 is an LED-based monitor whose low price allows it to compete with the best of the bunch.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 2 ms

Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch CTH661

Multitouch in place of a mouse may not appeal to pro designers, but the Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch is an excellent choice for mobile users who want to begin dabbling with art tools.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, USB, 2540 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Stylus, Digitizer, Wired, Silver

LG Flatron W2486L

The LG Flatron W2486L is a great LED-backlit monitor that few will choose over its main competitor.

ViewSonic VX2433wm

The ViewSonic VX2433wm is a low-priced monitor with acceptable performance for everyday tasks.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.271 mm, 2 ms

HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web

Aside from the never-ending name, the HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web All-in-One Printer looks good and prints high-quality photos at competitive speeds. We also appreciate the effort put into the downloadable applications for the interactive touch screen, but the innovation is offset by a hefty price tag. Unless Web connectivity and touch screens are a top priority, we recommend checking out HP's other multifunction printers, which still offer high performance but at a much lower cost.

Specs: Thermal inkjet, Fax / copier / printer / scanner, Mac, PC, 1 year warranty

Lexmark Platinum Pro 905

The Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 is a fully capable all-in-one business device, but its touch screen might throw a wrench in your workflow. The Smart Solutions widgets add virtual customization to the control panel, but we wish Lexmark had retained a few hard buttons as well. As the top dog in the Lexmark printer family, the Platinum Pro 905 does the job, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless does it better.

Specs: 5 years warranty

Dell ST2310

The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.

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

Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX

The Anywhere Mouse MX bears Logitech's multiconnective Unifying receiver and glass-tracking Darkfield laser, but $80 is too much for a portable mouse--especially when the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 costs half the price for almost the same features.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wireless, Laser
