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.

For users who work with colour-sensitive applications such as image and video editing, this screen can't be beat. It was pretty much flawless during our colour tests and its viewing angles were excellent. If you're a pro, this screen is well worth considering.

It's big, but it's also one of the best performing monitors we've seen. Its colours and clarity are sublime, and it can be viewed from extreme wide angles almost perfectly!

One of the best value for money models we've looked at.

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.

LG's Flatron L1980Q blends stylish design with a fast pixel response time and outstanding image quality. A top-notch monitor for all-round use.

Dell's UltraSharp 2408WFP is one of the best monitors on the market offering stunning image quality at a fairly good price.

An amazing viewing experience.

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.

All things considered, this monitor is very easy on the eyes. Its colour reproduction was excellent, it didn't suffer from any motion problems and it was viewable even from the most obtuse angles. It's well worth considering, if you can afford it, and not only can it be used as a computer monitor, it can also be used to plug in gaming consoles, a digital TV set-top box, or even a VCR.

Outstanding image quality and adjustability. The cost would be easily justified if you were after top-quality output from a TFT.

An ergonomic stand, pivot feature, straightforward adjustment and solid warranty add up to a great screen for everyday use.
