BenQ V2400 Eco

With the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 ($300) costing $50 less than the BenQ, there is simply no good reason to purchase V2400 Eco. Overall, the Samsung monitor has better performance, facilitated by its wider viewing angle and brighter screen. The BenQ gets points for its unique, stark white aesthetic and the...

NEC MultiSync P221W

The $490 22-inch NEC MultiSync P221W is a great performing alternative to the super high-end and superexpensive professional monitors such as the $1,450 Eizo ColorEdge CG222W. The NEC has wide viewing angles, a robust and easy-to-use onscreen display, accurate colors, and several useful ergonomic options. However, it only includes DVI,...

Samsung Go N310 (sunset orange)

We've gotten to the point where mainstream Netbooks are a fairly rigid format. Slap together an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and a copy of Windows XP, and you've got your hands on essentially the same product sold by PC makers such as Dell,...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook Computer (Intel Atom N270, 120GB HDD, 1GB)

The "v" in the Dell Mini 10v's name is seemingly there to indicate value for thrifty Netbook shoppers. The system is in many ways hard to distinguish from its more expensive cousin and is one of the better under-$299 Netbook packages we've seen. It does, however, lack the high-end configuration...

Oregon Scientific ATC3K Waterproof Action Camera

The Oregon Scientific ATC3K Action Camera is a bit like the Jeep Wrangler of digital camcorders. On paper, the bare-bones digital camera is only capable of capturing VGA video. In a civilized world filled with pocket HD camcorders, that's not a particularly impressive feat. However, take the ATC3K into the...

Planar PX2611W

The 25.5-inch Planar PX2611w is heavy, stocky and at an average price of $800, should only be considered by professional artists who require an In-Plan Switching IPS-based panel.

Eizo ColorEdge CG222W-BK (LCD display)

At $1,500, the Eizo ColorEdge CG222W should be considered by graphics professionals only. While the display has color accuracy that's second to none and a plethora of color customization options, its 1,680x1,050 resolution isn't fit for high-def movies or high-performance games. If professional graphics work isn't on your agenda--but you're...
