All LCD Monitors

The Bottom Line: Even if you don't care that ViewSonic's VG2030wm lacks HD DVD or Blu-ray support, we can't give this LCD monitor a strong recommendation simply because there are too many better, more capable displays on the market for the same price. Its image quality is fine, but that's not enough.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050, Silver, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: If not for the short warranty, the Gateway FPD2275W would have taken home an Editors' Choice award for its winning design, feature set, and performance. If you can live with a one-year warranty (or spring for the extended coverage), we recommend this stellar 22-inch wide-screen LCD.

The Bottom Line: Envision's G918W1 display loses points for its subpar performance and irritating design, which makes it hard to recommend--unless you can find a good deal or are in the market for an affordable HDCP-compliant display. Otherwise, you should pass this LCD monitor by.

The Bottom Line: It's a little shy on features, and we wouldn't recommend the HP w2007 for HD movie watching. Then again, we wouldn't suggest you use any 20-inch LCD for that purpose. What we did like was the overall image quality of this display, which we found outstanding, and it's ultimately what saves the monitor.

The Bottom Line: We're not overly impressed with NEC's LCD193WXM monitor. The 19-inch wide-screen LCD has strong enough image quality for the price, but NEC seems to equate utilitarianism with missing features. We wouldn't expect a $200 19-inch screen to bowl anyone over, but competing displays seem to try harder.

The Bottom Line: If you can look past a few minor issues, we can think of few people who would be unhappy to own HP's new w2207 LCD. Its attractive design, outstanding overall performance, and approachable price tag make this one of our favorite 22-inch screens to date.

The Bottom Line: Get a first look at HP's new 17-inch LCD monitor.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 17 in, 1280 x 1024 / 60 Hz, Silver, 0.264 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: Other than its integrated speakers, the w22 has a limited feature set, but its low price and relatively good performance make it worth a serious look.

The Bottom Line: Acer AL2216W is a bare-bones LCD monitor, but it represents a good value with its low price and relatively solid performance.
