Apple LED Cinema Display (24-inch)

A new Cinema Display is certainly welcome, and hints towards more being released at next year's MacWorld. We do feel however that Apple has shot itself in the foot by only providing a Mini DisplayPort input.

ViewSonic VX1962wm

ViewSonic's latest is a great idea, hampered by not so great execution.

14/11/2008 05:06 PM

EVGA UV Plus+

We suspect the market for DisplayLink devices is reasonably niche due to its limitations; however, for those doing simple work, it's a cheap way to get multiple monitors running.

Asus VW223B

The Asus VW223B is acceptable for its intended audience — those who need to add a second monitor cheaply, and are undemanding in its use.

27/08/2008 05:29 PM

Asus MK241H

The MK241H is a decent performer for what it is, but for AU$100 more you could have the vastly superior Dell 2408WFP or Samsung 245T.

25/08/2008 02:01 PM

Acer P241WB

High brightness and a low price make the 24-inch Acer P241w immediately appealing, as does its unique bezel design, but we found its brightness came at the expense of deep colours and blacks.

HP LP2480zx

HP's LP2480zx is a sight to behold. Now if only we had a spare AU$4,200 kicking around...

23/07/2008 10:52 AM

ViewSonic VP2250wb

While it's definitely not a professional monitor as claimed, as an all-purpose monitor ViewSonic's VP2250wb does well, offering a step up within the 22-inch space.

22/07/2008 09:54 AM

ViewSonic VLED221wm

ViewSonic's LED back-lit monitor leaves a lot to be desired in the performance stakes, especially considering its price.

18/07/2008 10:15 AM

BenQ V2400W

BenQ's V2400W is a great way to get a higher resolution at a cheap price, although some of the usual extras are left out along the way.

07/07/2008 03:20 PM

Dell 2709W

Dell's latest 27-inch introduces an updated menu system, several new inputs and wide colour gamut.

03/06/2008 12:00 AM

Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD Monitor

Thanks to its incredible viewing angle, high resolution, and stellar overall picture quality, Samsung's 30-inch SyncMaster 305T gets an assured recommendation.

26/05/2008 03:27 PM

Dell Crystal

Although the performance is okay, Dell's Crystal is best left to those who want to prove they have money.

20/05/2008 04:13 PM

Wacom Cintiq 12WX

A great input device if you do a lot of brush-based graphics, the Cintiq 12WX nonetheless has some awkward design aspects and a bit of a high price.

16/04/2008 12:43 PM

Dell SP2208WFP

The Dell SP2208WFP is a versatile 22-inch display monitor that delivers outstanding overall performance and a pleasing design for a price that's hard to beat.

04/04/2008 03:57 PM

Zalman ZM-M220W

The Zalman ZM-M220W is a very good gaming monitor, with decent contrast and colours, but the 3D capabilities aren't as special as we'd hoped.

04/04/2008 10:21 AM

Dell 2408WFP

While the 2408wfp is more evolution than revolution, when all this goes for under AU$1,000 it's hard to pass up, especially if you're looking for something in the size range.

19/03/2008 10:58 AM

HP L1908w

HP's L1908w delivers a cheap but acceptable experience for users on a tight budget who don't want to risk a "no-name" brand display.

12/02/2008 12:26 PM

Dell 3008WFP

With a crazy number of inputs, 1080p over component and good rendering of 1080i, this screen has set itself up as a potential TV replacement, let alone a huge monitor. This one's the new king.

14/12/2007 01:11 PM

ASUS VW202T

ASUS's VW202T hits that sweet spot between price, performance and size. Only those who need colour perfection should steer clear, for everyone else this is spot on.
