  • HP 2159m

    26 Oct 2009 12:08 PM

    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, 3 ms

  • Asus Designo MS246H

    06 Oct 2009 3:25 PM

    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, 2 ms

  • HP w185

    01 Oct 2009 2:46 PM

    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.

  • 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.

  • Compaq Q2009 LCD Monitor

    17 Sep 2009 12:23 PM

    HP's budget line 20-inch monitor doesn't deliver any surprises, either nasty or nice. You just get what you pay for.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1600 x 900 pixels, 20 inch, 5 ms

  • ViewSonic VG2427wm

    02 Sep 2009 3:40 PM

    The ViewSonic VG2427wm has a good assortment of ergonomic options and great performance, but its asking price is just a bit too high to recommend.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 24 inch, 5 ms
