Despite its limitations, this monitor is compelling because it has very good contrast. We think its best use is for watching DVDs.

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.

At this price point, the Asus is certainly a good deal, provided you can live with its lack of adjustability.

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're after a stylish monitor for your home, the LS201 is ideal. Its glass screen makes it an ideal product if you have kids around, as it means the screen won't be damaged by inadvertent pokes. Our tests indicate that it's a good monitor for viewing photos, watching movies and playing games.

It may be the world’s slimmest 22in monitor, but this unit still delivers reasonable performance.

Consider this monitor if you want a larger resolution for the home or office, but don't want a huge monitor to dwarf you as you sit at your desk. Maybe give it a miss if you're a gamer, as you might notice too much blurring.

The BenQ FP241W is an excellent monitor with brilliant image quality and a wide range of connection options that gamers and graphic designers alike will adore.

While there's nothing shocking about this LCD, there's nothing exciting either. If you're comfortable with an average price for an average monitor you'll get by with the FP92E. If you want to use your computer for a specific task like gaming or editing, you might want to seek something a little more specialised.

Although the G2200W is cheap for a 22in monitor, you don’t get much for the price. Poor black levels and backlight bleeding make for an unimpressive monitor, though for occasional use it may prove useful.

As long as you’re not expecting blistering performance then BenQ’s T221W does an average to good job. For the price it commands, we weren’t expecting much more.

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