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.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • ASUS M70SA

    With a mass of storage and a large breadth of features, the M70SA from ASUS is a solid performer and a decent media centre/desktop replacement to boot.

  • Dell XPS M1730

    When most desktop replacements tend to target power users or entertainment seekers, the Dell XPS M1730 makes no bones about being a gaming machine.

  • Acer PD727

    Acer's built an impressive looking projector. The images it throws out, however, are less impressive than we'd like.

  • Acer AT4220B

    Acer's 42" LCD TV offers exceptional value for a low asking price.
