While it's expensive, it's also the perfect monitor for colour-critical applications. Not only that, but it scales lower-than-native resolutions beautifully on its vast 30in of space, and it also has a nifty picture-by-picture feature, which basically makes it two monitors in one.

The Eizo unit offers outstanding image quality, both VGA and DVI inputs, and is backed-up by a 5-year warranty. All up, a great screen for a professional user.

Vibrant colours and immaculate details are displayed by this Eizo FlexScan monitor, which make it a joy to use. However, you will have to fork out a fair bit of cash to procure it.

So long as you’re not planning to use this for video or other graphically intense applications, EVGA’s UV Plus + 12 is a simple and effective way to increase productivity, especially for notebooks.

The monitor's overall build quality is excellent, and the finish is elegant. However, given its price tag the HP L1906 is not particularly a value buy.

A competent multimedia-oriented monitor, the HP w2228h offers HDMI connectivity and good image quality. However, the reflective coating will bother many users, particularly under fluorescent lights.

HP's w2448hc is a fairly good but not outstanding 24in panel. While its HDMI connectivity and built-in webcam are both boons, the glossy finish is extremely distracting and there are some colour issues that may annoy image quality purists.

Dual inputs, pivot functionality and height adjustment make the HP L1955 a quality screen at a reasonable price. And a three-year warranty doesn't hurt either.

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.

An impressive 22in widescreen panel from HP, the L2245w offers great image quality and combines it with a flexible stand as well as the option to rotate to portrait mode.

If you are looking for exceptional image quality and a whole lot of desktop space, you can't go past the LP3065.
