Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ViewSonic VX2433wm

    ViewSonic VX2433wm is a low-priced monitor with acceptable performance for everyday tasks.

  • Dell ST2310

    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.

  • ViewSonic VG2427wm

    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.

  • Dell UltraSharp U2410

    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.

  • HP 2009f LCD Monitor

    The HP 2009f is a good-looking 20-inch display with enough features to make it well worth its low price.
