Asus VG248QE

I can see in a few years this will be 1 of the go to monitors because of the speed and consistency the 144 gives, but also the graphics cards will be much better for these when that time comes giving you that much more of an advantage over those power...

AOC D2757PH

The big question here is whether you want the 3D effect. If you do, then this is a compelling way of creating more depth to images and making more of an impact. The huge 27” screen space is generally excellent, aside from the build-quality issue...

LG Electronics 29EA93

Last year I reviewed the LG 29EA93 monitor before its scheduled US release date. As someone that thinks there is a good market for ultrawide displays, the 21:9 aspect ratio was very interesting to me, and something I wanted to take a look at...

AOC I2757FH

At this very low price you might expect that quite a few corners would be cut, but you’d be wrong. Only the frame edge feels flimsy and the only flaw is some light leak around the edge. That won’t impact every day use where the crisp display, vibrant...

Samsung Syncmaster S27B970D LED

Samsung’s PLS technology is relatively new to the market and not as widely adopted or indeed as familiar to consumers as LG’s IPS technology. To all intents and purposes, however, the underlying technology and strengths and weaknesses of the image are...

ColorMunki Smile

There’s no doubt that this is as easy to use as monitor calibration can get. It’s completely automatic and just does the job then shows you the difference it made. For anyone who wants a better, more accurate display, without all the technical jargon,...

Dell S2740L

For example, while there’s a whole raft of presets, only Game mode lets you adjust Hue and/or Saturation. There are no colour temperature settings. There is no sRGB or Image/Photo preset, individual RGB colour control is limited to a single preset, and...

ASUS MX239H

Although the screen specs are superb, the lack of user-friendly options like wall mounting makes it fall short of the best.

Asus VS239H

The VS239H is a standard monitor that "does the job", albeit with a cheaper IPS screen, rather than the inferior TN. If you have basic needs, this may see you through — just be aware of the limited defective pixel policy.
