Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

We take our first look at a 22in screen from Samsung.

The Samsung SyncMaster 226BW combines a stylish housing, and great features such as HDCP compatibility on its DVI port, with very impressive image quality. It's a combination that means that it wins an award and makes it the pick of the 22in bunch.

Samsung SM226BW

Adding a second monitor to your system allows more flexibility in day-to-day operation as well as more space on your Mac OS X desktop. Macworld takes a look at a selection of worthy displays.

Stylish looks, sophisticated feature set, excellent value for money, good all-round performance

Stand is not height adjustable, location of manual controls means they're fiddly to use
