Computer Peripherals

The Bottom Line: The BenQ V2400 Eco is a solid monitor that just can't compare with the best there is in price and performance.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.276 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: The ViewSonic VP2365wb has solid performance, but its low brightness gives images an overall dull look.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 23 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 14 ms

The Bottom Line: CNET did not review the Samsung SyncMaster T260HD, but we did review a smaller model in the series.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 25.5 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: The Dell UltraSharp U2410 is a feature-rich monitor that performs great while watching movies and playing games.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 6 ms

The Bottom Line: The HP LP3065 has stellar performance, but its lack of adjustment features and connection options makes its high price difficult to swallow.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 30 in - Widescreen, 2560 x 1600 / 60 Hz, Silver, 12 ms

The Bottom Line: For $79.99, you're better off buying a cheaper wireless keyboard than the Adesso WKB-3100UB--one that uses encryption and has a longer battery life for your sofa Web-surfing and portable-typing needs.

Specs: 11.7 in x 5.9 in x 1.1 in, External, PC, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Optical, Trackball

The Bottom Line: Kodak's ESP 5250 multifunction printer isn't marred by the errors of its predecessors, but it still needs improvement before it can keep up with the competition. Right now, its pleasing photo quality and satisfactory output speed don't justify the $170 price tag and lack of features.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Orochi, Razer's first gaming mouse designed for notebooks, combines a small size and Bluetooth connectivity with a feature set normally seen only on larger gaming mice.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wired, Wireless, Laser, Black

The Bottom Line: Apple's new wireless Magic Mouse gets a sleek makeover and even has multitouch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion rather than a full-size desktop accessory. The swiping gestures add interactivity to Web browsing and media, but the awkwardly narrow single button design leaves us reaching for better mice from Logitech and others.

Specs: Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later, External, Mac, AA type, Mouse, Mouse, Wireless, Laser, Bluetooth

The Bottom Line: The NEC MultiSync P221W has some of the most accurate colors we've seen, but it is light on features.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 8 ms
