Good value, but it needs to decide whether it’s a business or consumer notebook.

Featuring a very high neck, a very deep stand and a thin bezel, the LG L1710B evoked the iMac screen’s ability to ‘float’ in front of you. What’s more, the LG panel could be rotated to portrait mode if required, a feature that made it perfect for lots of document use or for graphic artists.

A hint of things to come, but the first HD DVD and Blu-ray combo drive is very expensive.

The LG TFT has one of the slimmest bezels of any screen this month, helped in part by the use of LG.Philips’ own 18in IPS-type TFT panel.

Format war? What format war?

Solid performance at an incredible price makes this the best-value 20in widescreen LCD you can buy.

Boasting a two-year warranty, LG's offering to the DVD market is a mixed one in that what it lacks in burn speed it more than makes up for in its writable formats.

A slider mobile for music on the go -- until the battery runs dry, that is.

If you're looking for something arty to adorn a corporate front desk or shop counter the LG stands out from the crowd.

For those with deep pockets and big hearts, this DVD recorder comes with full PVR functionality and an 80GB hard drive.

The most expensive DVD burner we received, it makes sense it would also be the best featured.

Wrapped in an attractive silver chassis, this sexy looking notebook is easy on the eye, and features all of the latest gadgets. The left-hand side of the machine features the usual legacy parallel and DB9 monitor out for use with an external monitor, although both are hidden beneath a rubber cover so as not to ruin the smooth clean lines of this housing.

We found this unit returned a set of less than wonderful results during testing, not offering anywhere near the amount of performance that you're paying for.

The Flatron 1710B scores well at specifications thanks to its video and USB connectors: its performance in the clarity tests was excellent, despite the smaller viewing angles.
