    10 May 2006 12:30 PM

    The ViewSonic VX2025wm may not win the gymnastics event in the monitor Olympics, but this 20-inch wide-screen LCD offers excellent performance and built-in speakers, making it the best deal in its category.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 800 :1, 1680 x 1050 pixels, 20.1 inch, 8 ms

  • Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP

    01 May 2006 5:18 PM

    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: 300 cd/m2, 800 :1, 1680 x 1050 pixels, 20.1 inch, 16 ms

    The 19-inch BenQ FP93V is our choice for style and performance on a budget.

    Specs: 270 cd/m2, 550 :1, 1280 x 1024 pixels, 19 inch, 8 ms

  • BenQ FP202W

    19 Apr 2006 12:48 PM

    The 20-inch wide screen BenQ FP202W features a fast 8-millisecond pixel response rate, but its motion performance isn't particularly impressive, and it offers fewer features and less adjustability than other less expensive models.

    Specs: 350 cd/m2, 800 :1, 1680 x 1050 pixels, 20.1 inch

  • Monitors that do more than work

    If you work at home or use your breaks for gaming, you need a monitor that excels at displaying productivity apps and delivers good DVD and gaming performance. Here are four recommendations.

  • ViewSonic VA1912w

    22 Mar 2006 1:51 PM

    Though the 19-inch wide-screen ViewSonic VA1912w looks modest, it packs a punch, with above-average performance, full-sounding built-in speakers, and a very sweet price.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 500 :1, 1440 x 900 pixels, 19 inch, 8 ms

  • ViewSonic VX922

    24 Feb 2006 4:30 PM

    The 19-inch ViewSonic VX922's fast 2ms pixel response makes for stellar gaming performance, but DVD playback disappoints; Nongamers may be better served by a more adjustable LCD.

    Specs: 260 cd/m2, 650 :1, 1280 x 1024 pixels, 19 inch, 2 ms

  • Display problem affecting some Intel iMacs

  • ViewSonic VP930b

    06 Feb 2006 5:31 PM

    The ViewSonic VP930b is incredibly adjustable and includes great business-oriented software, but its steep price warrants much better performance.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1280 x 1024 pixels, 19 inch, 8 ms

  • Samsung Syncmaster 204T

    31 Jan 2006 3:08 PM

    We found nothing inherently wrong with the Samsung SyncMaster 204T, a 20-inch LCD with an attractive design, decent image quality, and useful software, but other monitors offer more features for the price.

    Specs: 25 cd/m2, 700 :1, 1600 x 1200 pixels, 20" inch, 16 ms

  • 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
