If you're space conscious or limited when it comes to your PC set up then no doubt you've already looked at the TFT display option at some point. We've got three new TFT offerings from three companies in the Labs this month, which should give you a good idea of the state of play of the TFT market at the moment.

Shuttle has made a name for themselves with stylish and innovative barebones PCs, and now comes along this excellent addition to any XPC you own. Scratch that - this TFT would look good with any PC you own.

This is the first display in a fresh new line of TFT monitors to come from Mitsubishi this year, and from this early glimpse things are looking good. The unit we received was a very early pre-production model -- it had missing panels, the occasional loose wire and a completely different colour scheme (the TFT pictured is the final shipping version), but as a look to where Mitsubishi is headed it was perfect for our needs.

Atec is a new face on the Australian LCD scene but a big name in Korea, and this is the first display weve looked at from this manufacturer.

I've predicted 2003 will be the year of the TFT, with massive price cuts on the way that will give CRTs a run for their money. The year is already looking good with these three models entering our testing Labs.

Sony has always placed a strong emphasis on style, and the Sony range of TFT displays are no exception.

TFT LCD monitors are increasingly becoming an attractive option. Prices are falling, and there are some great monitors around. The AG Neovo S-15V is a sub-$2,000 15in display with distinctive styling.
