Best monitors

With an amazingly high 2,560x1,440 resolution, multiple USB 3.0 ports, incredible, colorful, and vibrant color, the U2713HM strikes the best balance between screen size, features, and price.

Thanks to its RGB LED backlight, the DreamColor displays colors that are more accurate than what's capable on typical white LED-based displays. Just be prepared to take out that second mortgage before you buy.

With a $330 price, 4-way ergo support, plenty of connections, and excellent performance, the PA248Q offers performance on a budget when you don't want to settle for budget-level performance.

It's difficult to get more impressive than an XD monitor, given their super high resolutions. At 2560x1440, graphical clarity takes on a new meaning compared to 1200p displays and once you've gotten a taste, you'll find it difficult to settle for anything less.

With only three connection options (HDMI, DVI, and VGA), one ergonomic feature (tilt), it's the x2301's great performance, cool-looking aesthetic, and very appealing price that makes it the best no-frills monitor available.
