Acer has come to the party with an affordable well performing flat display that features an internal power supply, better than average 20ms pixel response time, crisp colour and good greyscale results.

Another great-looking Samsung LCD, but picture quality isn’t quite up to the usual standard.

Great picture and an impressively high resolution at a good price, but with few features

A decent LCD in its own right, but the speakers are poor and the dock isn’t much more than an expensive gimmick.

An unbeatable stand and good quality, but it’s simply too costly.

The design is excellent, but you pay a hefty premium.

A super-bright entertainment LCD, but it’s not for office work.

Impressive widescreen quality for an attractive price.

Ideal for movies, but a few flaws keep it in the middle of the pack.

The price puts it out of reach for some, but the incredible colours and adjustable stand will appeal to professionals.

Fantastic quality, a flexible stand and a raft of features make the Philips worth every cent.

Fine image quality and a perfect panel guarantee make this a superb choice at this price.

If you need a little more quality than a budget model, look no further than this professional yet affordable LCD.

A great-quality widescreen panel for a surprisingly low price.

Advanced in some ways, this Acer monitor performs admirably, bar wallet performance.

We’re fans of ViewSonic’s stands.

The 930BF started our tests well, narrowly winning the best gaming display in our eye-straining midnight shoot-out.

With a price tag this low, the Polyview had a great advantage before undergoing our tests.

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

We simply can't expect people to pay this much for an analog-only display with little going for it.
