  • HP 2159m

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 21.5 inch

  • Asus Designo MS246H

    The MS246H works well if you're trying to reach a certain design aesthetic — just be aware that with this aesthetic comes a lack of adjustability options and frustrating menu buttons.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 23.6 inch

  • HP w185

    Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1366 x 768 pixels, 18.5 inch
