Product information and further reviews for Monitors
AOC myPlay I2757Fm PC Advisor 12/2012 - The myPlay I2757Fm might be made out of plastic, but its looks are certainly striking, and its removable base should make it an ideal companion for your laptop, but what about picture quality?
AOC I2757FH LED monitor MacWorld 12/2012 - A 27-inch monitor with an IPS panel for just a bit over £200? MacWorld set out to find the catch.
ViewSonic VSD220 MacWorld 11/2012 - Most tablets are either 7 or 10 inches, but how about a 22-inch model that's also a desktop computer?
ViewSonic VSD220 Android monitor Pocket-lint.co.uk 11/2012 - The VSD220 would be expensive for a 22" monitor, but its uniqueness lies in that it's actually also an Android tablet / all-in-one desktop computer. Pocket-lint see if it's worth the money.
Viewsonic VSD220 smart display review - hands on Expert Reviews 11/2012 - Viewsonic has produced some forgettable Android tablets in the past, but now it's aiming to hit the big time with the VSD220, a 22-inch full HD display that runs Android and can act as a touchscreen computer or giant tablet, depending on how you look at it.
Giants and miniature prices PCgo 9/2011 - Large PC screens don’t have to be expensive. You can get hold of a 27-inch flat screen monitor for as little as 250 euros. This article will take a closer look at whether these gigantic bargain buys are also a giant disappointment. Review details: Three monitors were reviewed.
AOC i2757Fm PCFormat 11/2012 - A 1080p resolution on a 27-inch panel isn't exactly impressive, but how many pixels do most regular users need anyway?
Asus PA248Q Expert Reviews 9/2012 - If you're a graphic designer or professional photographer, a TN-based display simply isn't going to cut it; you need at least an IPS panel for critical colour accuracy. Does the PA248Q deliver?
BenQ GW2750HM TFT Central.co.uk 8/2012 - BenQ are putting their AMVA and LED tech into the 27inch model from their GW range.
AOC's Portable Monitor GadgetSpeak 6/2012 - If you require an extra screen for giving presentations or working with large spreadsheets, the 22 inch AOC E2251Fwu is worth a closer look.
ViewSonic VX2460h-LED TrustedReviews 6/2012 - ViewSonic have released the VX2460h-LED, which is claimed to be the thinnest monitor available, at only 6.8mm thick. Does it put in a strong performance?
AOC E2251FWU Expert Reviews 5/2012 - The 22 inch AOC E2251FWU Full HD monitor is powered by USB. Is this an ideal accompaniment for your PC or laptop that doesn't have any spare graphics ports?
Viewsonic 23inch Panel VX2336S GadgetSpeak 4/2012 - Viewsonic have produced a reasonably unreflective, decent sized screen that also has a pleasantly un-shiny black surround. How does it perform at its task of displaying images?
Large format Hardwareluxx [printed] 2/2011 - Anyone who’s ever sat in front of an XXL monitor (even just for a short space of time) will know just how appealing it can be to have infinite width on your desktop. We’ve finally given in to the current trend, which leans towards ever increasing screen sizes, and have requested a couple of maxi display test models. We can hardly wait to see what the latest large format squad has to offer. Review details: Five monitors were reviewed.
AOC i2352Vh TechRadar UK 2/2012 - On a budget? Want a 23-inch Full HD monitor? AOC might warrant your attention by offering the i2352Vh for about £130.
Hanns.G HL249DPB 24" LED TFT Micro Mart 1196 (16-22 Feb 2012) - The Hanns.G HL249DPB belongs to the brand's new HL9 range and offers 24 inches of LED goodness at a very reasonable price.
AOC i2353Fh MacWorld 2/2012 - The i2353Fh from AOC has a tasteful, brushed aluminium design and a 23inch panel. Does performance match up to the elegant exterior?
AOC i2352Vh monitor The Inquirer 2/2012 - This 23inch monitor from AOC gives you IPS technology at a reduced price. Have corners been cut elsewhere or is this a real bargain?
ViewSonic VP2765-LED PC Advisor 2/2012 - Viewsonic are marketing a professional standard of 27-inch monitor, but cheaper than the competition. As the VP2765-LED only offers the same 1920x1080 resolution as its 24-inch counterparts, can it really compete?
Samsung SyncMaster S23A550H PC Advisor 2/2012 - Even though Samsung have been using the same styling for their monitors for some time, the SyncMaster S23A550H still looks attractive, with its slim profile, chic base, red stripe and black surround which becomes a transparent bezel.
AOC i2352Vh PC Advisor 2/2012 - If you need a monitor that has high image quality and accurate colours, the i2352Vh from AOC might meet your requirements.
ViewSonic VP2765-LED IT Reviews 1/2012 - It is becoming more complex to purchase a PC monitor as the various options of screen technologies and extra features are increasing. Who will the ViewSonic VP2765-LED monitor be most suitable for?
ViewSonic Vp2365-LED PC Pro 1/2012 - Can Viewsonic replicate the success of the previous VP2365wb TV with the new VP2365-LED? Don't be fooled by the understated exterior, there is a lot going on inside.
ViewSonic VX2451Mhp-LED PC Advisor 1/2012 - Available in black and a stylish pearl-white finish, the ViewSonic VX2451 Mhp-LED looks good but how does it fare against the multitude of 24inch monitors that are available?
Samsung Series 8 S27A850D TechRadar UK 1/2012 - Combining the good parts of PVA and IPS technology, Samsung have created this new PLS monitor. Will this development provide something extra or is it yet another premium panel?
ViewSonic VP2365-LED TechRadar UK 1/2012 - Affordable IPS panels are becoming more common but maybe Viewsonic's new desktop screen can offer something special. You might be surprised.
BenQ EW2730V TechRadar UK 1/2012 - BenQ EW2730V is a good value 27inch LCD monitor, featuring one of the latest generation's VA panels. Is it as worthwhile as it sounds?
Viewsonic VP 2365 GadgetSpeak 12/2011 - With its full HD resolution, pivoting arm and 4-port USB hub, the VP2365 is certainly a tempting proposition.
BenQ RL2240H TrustedReviews 12/2011 - The RL2240H is quite a unique proposition - a monitor designed with RTS games in mind.

We notify you free of charge about new tests on the topic of: Monitors.
Your e-mail address:
CRT monitors have now almost entirely disappeared from the market, and LCDs (sometimes referred to as TFTs) have taken their place. It's now possible to pick up an affordable 19-inch monitor for less than £100, and 22 – 24-inch models, which are popular due to their size, can be bought for between £100 and £200. 19-inch models are generally found in the business sector, with the private sector swinging more in the direction of favouring 26 – 27-inch screens. A majority of TFTs are good all-rounders which can safely be used for office and internet applications, and since the technology is now well established, it is less than likely that bad purchases will be made in the consumer range. Compromises will need to be made with viewing angles and colour accuracy, though this is likely to have little impact on office use while sat at a desk. A majority of monitors also have an aspect ratio of 16:9, which will suit movie fans, as it reduces the black bars to a minimum when playing a film. On the other hand, screens with a 16:10 aspect ratio will be better suited to office work because of their extra screen height. Ideally the screen should have both VGA (analogue) and DVI / HDMI (digital) connections, as it is only the latter that can guarantee lossless signal transfer and show the monitors image quality to its best potential.
Panel technology
Competitive models are generally TN panels, and these guarantee a fast response time. Most monitors are also suitable for PC games, or are fast enough to display moving images without any visible artifacts (ghosting or distortion). It is only really with extremely high demands, such as e-sports or serious gaming that some devices may reach their limits. Monitors for (semi-) professional image or video editing are considerably more expensive. These are generally installed with colour critical IPS or VA panels, and have high viewing angle stability. As the prices continue to fall, even these screens are becoming increasingly more affordable. Demanding multimedia users should really be looking at VA/IPS panel screens.Features
If a PC screen will be used exclusively for office work, it is advisable to ensure the device has good ergonomic features. It is also recommended to get a monitor with adjustable height, and screens that can pivot are an ideal choice for showrooms or sales counters. Since 2010, manufaturers have also been using LEDs rather than cold cathode tubes for the screens backlighting. This not only allows for a thin bezel design of well under two centimeters, but it is also more economical with power useage. Their production also largely avoids using environmentally harmful substances such as mercury, thus bringing monitors into the 'Green IT' era. Since many buyers will incorporate the screens into a home theatre system, many current models have a chic styling and glossy finish. This design does have the added disadvantage of being more expensive to clean, as well as the annoying risk of the glossy frame reflecting incidental light back into the eyes. Therefore, a better choice for an office monitor is one with a matt body.3D and Multitouch
Since 2010, many well know manufacturers have been showing a growing interest in creating 3D content and offering the appropriate screens for the rendition of these spatial images using 3D glasses. 3D monitors can work with active shutter (120Hz), which can strain the eyes in the long term, and requires a special graphics card and relatively expensive 3D glasses, unlike the virtually flicker free polarisation (passive) technique, though this is currently less common as it is difficult to create on already polarised LCD screens. Monitors that can be operated using finger gestures have progressed beyond the status of a niche product. Multi-touch monitors should be tilted backwards as much as possible so that the users arms don't feel so heavy when operating with the fingers for a prolonged time. This feature really shows its strengths when used mostly for multimedia applications. For office work however, it is less recommended to invest in the multi-touch feature. Another possible future trend, though not yet widely used, are screens that can connect to a central server wirelessly (PCoIP monitors), which eliminates the need to buy seperate PCs for each monitor, thus presenting larger workgroups and companies with a more cost effective solution. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screens, on the other hand, were announced years ago as the new 'revolution', but we are still waiting for them. As demonstrated by the prototypes, these diode-controlled screens are quite promising with excellent image quality, but they are still far too expensive to produce and therefore are not ready for the market, with the rare exception as luxury devices.
