The NEC MultiSync LCD90GX2 is an excellent monitor suitable for graphics intensive applications and gaming.

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

The Acer Ferrari F-20 is a sweet display with crisp, colorful images and design panache.

The VX2025m is not the best monitor on the market but it is definitely great value.

The Samsung SyncMaster 931BF is a well-designed monitor with superb performance, dual PC support and an attractive aesthetic.

The N91s is a solid performer that is only let down by poorly implemented controls and slight image noise when displaying fine vertical lines. Otherwise, it’s an excellent monitor with great sharpness and no major display flaws.

Despite some problems with noise and a brightness limitation, this screen performed well in our tests and is worth considering if you need a big screen monitor.

This monitor produced the clearest picture in our motion blur tests and should definitely be considered if you want a large screen for games. Its colour capabilities, despite being a 6-bit panel, were also comparatively good, as was its brightness level, despite the 250cd/m² rating. We didn't like this monitor's base, but we feel it's a great unit for everyday use and for games.

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.

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

A good 19in LCD monitor for gaming and watching video. It's suitable for everyday tasks, but its colour reproduction will not be to your liking if working with images is your livelihood, or even a serious hobby.

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.
