    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.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1366 x 768 pixels, 18.5 inch, 5 ms

    Dell ST2310

    30 Sep 2009 2:04 PM

    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

    Dell UltraSharp U2410

    20 Aug 2009 5:32 PM

    The only way to get better quality than the Dell UltraSharp U2410 is to spend a lot more money — if you need a 24-inch, are on a budget but still need great quality images, we can wholeheartedly recommend this screen.

    Specs: 400 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1200 pixels, 24 inch, 6 ms

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

    Acer G24 LCD Monitor

    24 Jun 2009 3:53 PM

    While its gaming performance is stellar, due to its ultra-glossy and reflective screen its viewing angle is unforgiving. It's also not the most ideal monitor for colour accuracy.

    Specs: 400 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1200 pixels, 24 inch, 2 ms
