Best LCD monitors (19 and 20 inch)

(Jun 04, 2008)

Eric Franklin Eric Franklin
Take a peek into any office, and you'll see that 19- and 20-inch LCDs are becoming a standard part of the desk setup. They offer plenty of screen real estate and adjustability, and with prices plummeting, there's no reason not to have one.

Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP

The Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP, a 20-inch wide-screen LCD, serves up a winning combination of features, image quality, and adjustability--all for a very reasonable price.

HP W2007

It's a little shy on features, and we wouldn't recommend the HP w2007 for HD movie watching. Then again, we wouldn't suggest you use any 20-inch LCD for that purpose. What we did like was the overall image quality of this display, which we found outstanding, and it's ultimately what saves the monitor.

The ViewSonic VX1962wm LCD is a 19-inch LCD with a fair price and decent performance, but a competing flat panel offers a better image for less.

Price: $139.00 - $189.24 (check prices)

Lenovo ThinkVision L1940p - flat panel display - TFT - 19

The Lenovo ThinkVision L1940p costs a bit more than competing 19-inch LCD monitors, but its many ergonomic features and great overall performance could persuade those not shopping on price alone.

Price: $230.99 - $263.17 (check prices)

Acer p191w

We wouldn't pay more than $200 or so for any 19-inch LCD, but if you need a smaller screen and can find Acer's p191w for that price, we'd recommend it. It's a basic display with no speakers or HDCP-support, but its image quality and sleek design make up for any lacking secondary features.

Price: $84.97 - $139.47 (check prices)
