ASUS' MK241H is a solid 24in widescreen display. It has strongly saturated colours and some of its extras, such as the speakers, aren't perfect, but it should satisfy most media and gaming enthusiasts.

Offering the ability to connect to your PC directly via USB, ASUS' VW223b is a very cool product but its lack of DVI and unsuitability for entertainment tasks mean it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

If you don't want one of the all-in-one monitor and printer calibration solutions, the Spyder3Elite is a well-priced choice.

It'll deliver a good quality image and has plenty of inputs, but it's expensive.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM is a great monitor at an average price — and that's a winning combination.

The LCD3090WQXi is an excellent display with only one major flaw — its price.

Viewsonic's VP2650wb is great value for money if you're looking for a large display. While its image is too bright at times, the overall picture quality is excellent and the price tag is extremely competitive.

Overall, if the HP w2207h finds its way into your home or office, you'll most likely be happy with it. Just be prepared to buy a DVI adaptor.

A solid 19in monitor, the Viewsonic VX1940w performs well in some areas, such as when handling fast motion, but also has a few contrast and colour issues.

Viewsonic's VLED221wm would be a fairly good choice if it cost a few hundred dollars less, but with a price tag almost triple its competitors it is difficult to recommend despite having brilliant colours and fairly good overall image quality.
