Asus MS236H

The Asus MS236H is an attractive monitor with a few shortcomings; the buttons are frustrating, and the lack of adjustability may annoy some. It does, however, represent excellent power savings, looks great and delivers acceptable performance.

Pentax K-x

A fast, inexpensive dSLR with better-than-average low-light quality, the Pentax K-x nevertheless has some flaws, such as unreliable image stabilisation, to watch out for.

Reviews

ViewSonic VX2268wm

The VX2268wm is a reasonably good entry for a TN screen; however, we're not sold on the 3D, which increases the price greatly. For the dollars involved, we'd rather ditch the 3D and buy a higher quality monitor.
ViewSonic VX2237wm

The VX2237wm is passable considering its price range, but you can get better for cheaper if you don't need the speakers.
Acer G225HQ

The G225HQ is nothing special, but it'll likely appeal to twitch gamers with next to zero input lag, its aggressive styling and affordable price. It's just a shame it's a gloss screen.
Asus VH232H

The VH232H is great on build quality, but stumbles on image quality. Colour accuracy isn't its strong point, sharpness is set too high and movie watching over HDMI isn't the best; but if you just want to do some basic gaming, it might fit your bill.
Samsung SyncMaster XL2370

The stylish XL2370 impresses with its contrast ratio, thin screen and comparatively low power requirements. The price really stings though thanks to the LED backlight, and it's definitely not for colour professionals, but gamers are sure to like it a lot.
Philips Brilliance 225B

While its display quality is no greater or less than the norm, Philips' Brilliance 225B does one thing very well: saves power. Just don't use it for gaming.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350

A sweet little wide-angle compact, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 should make a lot of snapshooters happy.
Nikon Coolpix P100

There's a lot to like about the Nikon Coolpix P100, but you'll need to keep your photo quality expectations in check to really enjoy it.
