Advantages: Size, resolution, refresh rate
Disadvantages: Frequency will not allow 1080i mode to run for HD outputs

I bought this for two reasons, one to replace my existing 15" Proview monito and the second to run my Xbox 360 on in High Definition. The high contrast ration and the 5ms Black to Black refresh (2ms grey to grey) looked like it would ideally suit high definition gaming, especially with the native resolution being 1680 x 1050 so almost 1080p resolution. I was a little dissapointed at first, when I realised that turning my Xbox into 1080 mode produced ...
...turning this down to 720i mode still looks 100 times better than it does on a standard TV. The widescreen display is brilliant, the colours clear and crisp and the refresh rate suits the games perfectly. I have noticed that you do occasionally get some 'ghosting' but this tends to happen on older, less advanced games such as the Xbox Live Arcade games. Playing games like Bioshock through this makes it look almost real. So if you want a way to run ... Read review

Advantages: Perfect picture on native resolution, HDMI Port, satisfactory design and no blurring.
Disadvantages: Bad speakers; not terrible, bad HD quality, text breaks down and hard monitor base installation

The Hannsg HG216DP monitor is a 22" monitor; with an aspect ratio of 16:10.It comes with a VGA port and an HDCP port, the latter allowing connection to a HD games console or a digital connection when connected to a PC through a HDMI>DVI Adapter. However the VGA port should provide a similar quality experience, the only problem is that it's bound to get some interferance; this is very rare though and i am yet to experience such a thing. This monitor ...
...the resolution is lowered the text starts to break down very badly and is barely readable from a distance of a metre or so. This text breaking also reduces the prospect of a good PS3 HD gaming experience as 720p. This is as 720p is a resolution of 1280 x 720; hence 720, when the monitor is set to this resolution the text breaks down..... ... Read review

Advantages: Reliable brand, excellent design, excellent picture, worth every penny.
Disadvantages: Have yet to find any!

...to get mine direct from Samsung with a warranty as this one was refurbished stock. Suffice to say that I would happily buy another of these monitors if the time came. I trust Samsung as this is the third screen I've had from them (the others being the 42" lcd and a 42" rear projection before that. They are among the leaders in their field and they like to be at the forefront of design for a reasonable price. This is what makes them in my eyes, they ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: You'll soon find out why its cheap...

...in recent years. The AG screen is by far one of the cheapest monitor screens for computers you can buy (hence why my college has so many). The screen, although resiliant to the aggresive use of students has so many flaws to it that it would be inconceivable for another to buy such a screen. The screen only has to be brushed and smudges appear which take a lifetime to 'work' out. Quite often, the colour contrast settings will abruptly change and ...
...is limited due to the alluminium alloy on the outside and they sometimes hum in warm weather...Strange I know.... So should you lower your budget, I do not suggest purchasing an AG unless you enjoying irritating humming noises, colour displays in the middle of important work and the heaviness. ... Read review

Advantages: Bright, clear, fast refresh, good contrast and resolution.
Disadvantages: No DVI connector.

...had many monitors, and the LG Flatron L1915S is the one I have been using on my main desktop PC for at least 18 months now. There is not a single dead pixel; it has performed faultlessly; and I am quite simply entirely happy with it and see no reason to change. I don't play games or watch many videos; most of my computing activity is text-based and technical in nature, with the occasional bit of eBay activity thrown in. But I do a fair amount of ...
