Find The Right Displays

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

LG Flatron W2486L

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

HP 2709m

The HP 2709m's lack of features makes it less desirable than HP's own similarly priced w2558hc.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 27 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz, 0.311 mm, 3 ms

Dell SP2309W

With its low price, great performance, and many features, the Dell SP2309W is a sound buy for a 23-inch monitor.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 23 in - Widescreen, 2048 x 1152, 0.249 mm, 2 ms

Gateway HD1900

The Gateway HD1900 monitor has great performance, but is lacking in features.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 19 in - Widescreen, 1440 x 900 / 75 Hz, 0.2835 mm, 5 ms

HP LP2275w

With its excellent performance, full set of ergonomic features, and reasonable price, the 22-inch HP LP2275 is a smart choice.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 6 ms

Lenovo ThinkVision L2440x

The Lenovo ThinkVision L2440x is a well-designed 24-inch LCD monitor that's great for movies and games, but the display (and its LED backlighting) is too expensive for the performance and features it supplies.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.27 mm, 5 ms

HP w2408h LCD Monitor

The HP w2408h True Color Widescreen is a well-priced 24-inch monitor that looks stylish and performs well. Its lack of a DVI port is its only major stumbling block.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200, 0.27 mm, 5 ms

ViewSonic VA2626wm

The ViewSonic VA2626 is a basic 26-inch LCD that has neither the features nor performance to merit a recommendation. You can find better monitors for less.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 26 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200, 5 ms

Samsung 2693HM

The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price. Only a flimsy stand, an overcalibrated color-temperature setting, and a poor lower viewing angle prevent a higher recommendation for this 25.5-inch LCD.

BenQ V2400W

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.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200, 0.27 mm, 5 ms

V7 D24W33

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.

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

Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

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.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200, Silver, 0.27 mm, 6 ms

Envision G918W1

Envision's G918W1 display loses points for its subpar performance and irritating design, which makes it hard to recommend--unless you can find a good deal or are in the market for an affordable HDCP-compliant display. Otherwise, you should pass this LCD monitor by.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 19 in - Widescreen, 1440 x 900 / 75 Hz, 0.285 mm, 5 ms

HP w2207 LCD monitor

If you can look past a few minor issues, we can think of few people who would be unhappy to own HP's new w2207 LCD. Its attractive design, outstanding overall performance, and approachable price tag make this one of our favorite 22-inch screens to date.

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

Dell UltraSharp 2007FP

The attractive Dell UltraSharp 2007FP combines superior image quality, a full range of adjustment options, and a fair price. The result is a 20-inch LCD that's hard to beat.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20.1 in, 1600 x 1200 / 60 Hz, Silver, 0.255 mm, 16 ms

Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP

The Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP, a 20-inch wide-screen LCD, serves up a winning combination of features, image quality, and adjustability--all for a very reasonable price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20.1 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, Silver, 0.258 mm, 16 ms

Samsung SyncMaster 244T (black)

The wide-screen Samsung SyncMaster 244T delivers good color accuracy, but you can find better monitors for the money.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in, 1920 x 1200, Silver, 0.27 mm, 16 ms

HP LP2065

The HP LP2065 is viable for business, corporate-office, or no-nonsense home use, but similar LCDs are available for less.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20.1 in, 1600 x 1200 / 75 Hz, Silver, 0.255 mm, 8 ms

HP L1906

The VGA-only HP L1906 is as functionally simple as LCDs get these days, and while there's nothing wrong with simplicity, other 19-inch LCDs, such as the Westinghouse LCM-19v5, have more features and cost less.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 19 in, 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz, Silver, 0.294 mm
