Rise to the occasion: highly adjustable LCDs |
|
||
 Lara Luepke Assistant editor |
Updated February 8, 2006 Gone are the days of stacking old phone books on top of one another to get your monitor to the right height. Most of today's LCDs have built-in adjustability, such as telescoping necks, pivoting screens, and swiveling bases, all of which make looking at them less of a pain in the neck. When looking at office LCDs, adjustability should be high on your list of priorities. An LCD that is easily maneuvered through a wide range of physical settings will work best for the greatest number of people, and your employees' comfort must not be overlooked. These LCDs are flexible enough to satisfy any viewing preference. More resources

| Review summary | The Samsung SyncMaster 970P has a striking design, but it's the fine image quality that makes this display worthy of consideration. | The ViewSonic VP930b is incredibly adjustable and includes great business-oriented software, but its steep price warrants much better performance. | We found nothing inherently wrong with the Samsung SyncMaster 204T, a 20-inch LCD with an attractive design, decent image quality, and useful software, but other monitors offer more features for the price. | The NEC MultiSync LCD1970VX is a reasonably priced, well-designed LCD that will fit most users' needs for flexibility and image quality. | The HP LP2065 is viable for business, corporate-office, or no-nonsense home use, but similar LCDs are available for less. | The Gateway FPD2185W's excellent image quality, adjustability, extra features, and decent price make it tough to beat. |
