Over 23in Monitors

ViewSonic VG2427wm

The 24-inch VG2427wm monitor sports a 1080p resolution, a host of ergonomic features and three USB ports. Its chassis doesn't feel as solid as we'd like, but there's no denying that the VG2427wm is capable of impressive performance with games and movies. Overall, it's a decent monitor

HP w2558hc

Its viewing angles are disappointing and its gaming preset is too bright, but the 25.5-inch HP w2558hc makes up for it by packing in tonnes of features and offering good performance with movies and games. It's an attractive beast too, even if it is a fingerprint magnet

Acer G24

The 24-inch G24 isn't a fantastic all-rounder, and its viewing angle is fairly unforgiving, but it could be just the ticket for those seeking a gaming monitor. Thanks to its high-gloss panel, colours look vibrant and smooth, and high-speed games feel more responsive than on competitors

Dell G2410

The 24-inch, LED-backlit Dell G2410 won't win any beauty contests, and its lack of ergonomic options is disappointing, but this is still a fantastic monitor. Its performance is incredible, especially with movies, and you won't have to remortgage your home to afford it

Dell S2409W

Those seeking a cheap, 24-inch, 1080p monitor will probably be more than satisfied with the S2409W. It boasts great performance with games and movies, and an elegant and intuitive on-screen display, although ergonomic features have been sacrificed to keep the price down

Samsung SyncMaster T240HD

With tonnes of connection options, including two HDMI ports and an ATSC/QAM tuner, great performance and useful features, the Samsung SyncMaster T240HD display is an excellent bargain.

Samsung SyncMaster 305T

Good choices for 30-inch monitors are few and far between, so the Samsung SyncMaster 305T is an excellent place to start. For a display so large, it has a relatively small footprint. Performance-wise, it's capable of showing sharp, vivid colours on documents, films and games

HP w2408h

At 24 inches, the HP w2408h monitor is certainly large, but it's also gorgeous. Cleverly and thoughtfully designed, it can rotate to accomodate a portrait orientation, handy for surfing the Web.

The LG Flatron L245WP is one of the best monitors money can buy. Its £500 price tag may cause you to wince, but for that you get superb picture quality, impressive video playback and a stunning design

Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP

At over £1,000, it's very expensive, but the Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP offers a huge amount of screen real estate, as well as excellent connectivity and superb contrast

Editor's rating 7.4

BenQ FP241W

We can't fault the BenQ FP241W. Not only does it claim to be the world's first monitor with 1080p support and an HDCP-enabled HDMI port, but it's good value for money, has great image quality and is stylish to look at. If you're in the market for a 24-inch 'Full HD' widescreen monitor, it's very difficult to beat

HP LP2465

HP's largest LCD monitor, the 24-inch LP2465, is designed for simplicity. While this isn't the right monitor for multimedia entertainment use, its crisp bright picture, vivid colours and ample screen make it a good choice for graphic artists and other multitaskers

Editor's rating 7.5

Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP

Another solid entry into Dell's updated UltraSharp monitor line, the 2407WFP boasts plentiful features and connections, excellent image quality and all the adjustability we could ask for in a monitor of this size. Few monitors come close to matching its connectivity options or value for money

Toshiba FF1 preview

The Toshiba FF1 is one of a new breed of projectors that produces its image using LEDs (light-emitting diodes) instead of a conventional lamp, meaning it can run off a rechargeable battery and it doesn't produce much heat. But one of the coolest things about it is that it can display JPEG images directly from a USB memory stick
