- AOC V22 Verfino - LCD display - TFT - 22"
- The AOC V22 can be found online for $353. That's about $50 more than the expected price of the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370, the best LED-based monitor we've reviewed. The AOC offers a built-in Webcam and microphone, but its advantages over the XL2370 stop there. The AOC has no DVI...

- HP 2709m
- The 27-inch HP 2709m offers a larger screen than the 25.5-inch HP w2558hc, but that's about the only advantage the display has over the latter. The 2709m exhibited worse performance in games and movies and has fewer features, and a slightly lower 1,920x1,080 resolution compared with the w2558hc's 1,920x1,200. The...

- ViewSonic VG2427wm
- The ViewSonic VG2427wm gets points for a good assortment of ergonomic features--including screen height adjustment, 180 degrees swivel, and 25 degrees tilt. It also includes three USB ports and great movie and game performance. Yet, even with these attributes, we find it difficult to recommend the ViewSonic at its slightly...

- Acer H235H
- For $240, the 23-inch Acer H235H includes DVI, VGA, and HDMI connections, an easy-to-use OSD, and built-in speakers. While its overall performance is solid, its games and movies performance exhibit somewhat washed-out color. Still, the Acer is a great deal for the asking price, but we recommend the Asus VH236H...

- The Asus VH236H is available for around $190 from e-tailers. For that price you not only get HDMI and DVI support, built-in speakers, a headphone jack but also great movie and game performance. We'd prefer to have more ergonomic options and a less frustrating OSD menu, but with its...

- Samsung SyncMaster P2370
- Like the Dell Crystal, the $299 Samsung SyncMaster P2370 would look perfect in any contemporary art gallery. Unlike with Dell however, Samsung doesn't require you take out a second mortgage to pay for style. If you're looking for a low-price 23-24-incher with very good performance that does not skimp...

- ViewSonic FuHzion VX2265wm
- The 22-inch ViewSonic VX2255wm FuHzion is simply not worth its $350 price tag. For that price, you get only a DVI connection, poor movie playback quality, limited ergonomic options, and brightness calibration options only for the OSD.
