A nice all-rounder, BenQ's 24in G2400W offers HDMI connectivity for media enthusiasts and balanced colour reproduction for professionals.

It's not widescreen, but this monitor delivers where it counts: image, response and sound.

Overall, we don't particularly like the glossy finish of this monitor, which tends to be distracting when the room lights are on, but its image quality was quite good. It's suitable for viewing images, videos, even gaming and, of course, office work.

Solid performance at a reasonable price. The image is a little too bright and oversaturated by default, but the monitor is easy to adjust.

Samsung's SyncMaster 2493 is an almost flawless 24in display. It renders motion excellently, has great contrast and colour reproduction and packs in an HDMI input and a resolution of 1920x1080. Whatever you're using your display for, this unit should cut the mustard.

This is a brilliant display for everyday use. Although it features only an analog (VGA) input, it produces clear, sharp images.

This monitor didn’t fare too well in our tests for motion blurring and it also struggled slightly in the colour tests. It did have the best viewing angles in the review though, as well as the best aesthetics, but these features aren’t enough to justify its high price tag. We expected much better overall performance for this price.

Philips' 19in TFT panel offers great image quality, a wide range of adjustments, automatic brightness adjustment, and a long warranty.

The 210V isn't the best quality screen we've seen, but it's more than suitable for everyday tasks, watching movies and playing games.

Physical adjustments and user-friendly settings increase the value of this good--but not spectacular--monitor.

A great monitor for general home or office use, with the additional ability to act as quite a capable movie display. Not the best choice for professional work but definitely worth considering for anything else.

There are other -- and larger -- HD-level monitors available for the money. However, if you're looking for a really high-quality 22in display, the Lenovo L220x Wide will give you something great to look at all of the time
