Samsung SyncMaster T240HD

The 24-inch Samsung SyncMaster T240HD is a HDTV disguised as a $499 monitor. The OSD menu design is taken directly from the menus used in Samsung's HDTVs. It has tons of connection options--all of which face toward the back, not down as they do with most monitors--including two HDMI ports...

Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

The Gateway FHD2400 may be cheaper, but the Dell UltraSharp 2408WPF display is the better value of the two 24-inch LCD monitors. It performed outstandingly in our labs-based DisplayMate tests, delivering quite possibly the best image we've seen for DVD playback. The 2408WPF packs all of its stellar...

Canon Pixma iP4500

The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a moderately expensive single-function printer designed for general home use. Unlike Canon's more photo-oriented single functions like the Pixma iP6700d, the $130 iP4500 lacks memory card slots and a preview LCD. The iP4500 is a step up from the recently reviewed iP3500; it offers faster...

Canon Pixma iP3500

The Canon Pixma iP3500 is a low-cost, single-function printer designed for home users with light printing needs. Happily, this $80 inkjet's output quality is good enough for not only general personal use--printing e-mails and directions--but it also suffices for school reports and the like. Its print speeds are average to...

HP LP3065 30-inch monitor

The most appealing selling point of the 30-inch HP LP3065 is its super-high 2,560x1,600 resolution. Gamers with powerful enough video cards to run at that resolution will not be disappointed. With its great color preproduction and wide viewing angles, movies also look great on the large display. Professional graphic artists...

Kodak 5250

The ESP 5250 is Kodak's latest upgrade to last year's ESP 5 all-in-one AIO, which should be obvious from the almost identical design. Aside from looks, the printer does make improvements to print quality and most notably, output speed, but the printer still isn't perfect--it's missing an auto-document feeder and...

Three reasons this is a bad paradigm...Security, security and...let's see, what was that other thing...oh yeah, security.

Philips SBD7500

The Philips SBD7500 is a portable iPod and iPhone speaker that appeals to our sense of utility. Like many of the portable audio gadgets we've seen from Philips, the SBD7500 deftly navigates the middle ground, balancing price ($99), design, and performance in an easy-to-use somewhat boring product.From a design perspective,...
