Envision LCD Monitors

The Bottom Line: The AOC V22 is an LED-based monitor whose low price allows it to compete with the best of the bunch.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 2 ms

The Bottom Line: The 22-inch Envision G2219w1 performed well in movie playback, games, and normal office use. Its color reproduction leaves something to be desired, however, and while it is aggressively priced, we'd recommend shelling out a bit more for a 22-inch LCD from Dell.

The Bottom Line: The AOC 212Va-1 LCD monitor sticks to the basics and does it well, delivering a better-than-average but not terribly bright image at a low price, but sacrificing extras that you may not need anyway along the way.

The Bottom Line: Envision's G918W1 display loses points for its subpar performance and irritating design, which makes it hard to recommend--unless you can find a good deal or are in the market for an affordable HDCP-compliant display. Otherwise, you should pass this LCD monitor by.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 19 in - Widescreen, 1440 x 900 / 75 Hz, 0.285 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: The no-frills Envision EN2028 is about as basic a 20-inch wide-screen LCD as you'll find; it's a good fit if your office needs a large display and you're on a tight budget, but better flat panels are available for a few beans more.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 20 in, 1600 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.255 mm, 12 ms

The Bottom Line: We have only minor complaints about the Envision EN9600's image quality, but other 19-inch LCDs offer more features, better stability, and comparable image quality for the same price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 19 in, 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz, 0.294 mm, 12 ms

The Bottom Line: The Envision EN7600 won't break any molds, but it performs reasonably well, and it's inexpensive.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 17 in, 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz, 0.264 mm, 12 ms

The Bottom Line: The EN7410 is inexpensive, but for a few more beans, you'll get better image quality and adjustability with the Envision EN7220.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 17 in, 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz, 0.264 mm, 16 ms

The Bottom Line: A run-of-the-mill but very adjustable LCD with snap-on accessory cups and photo clips that should appeal to admin assistants and the inveterately sentimental.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 17 in, 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz, 0.264 mm, 25 ms

The Bottom Line: Despite a flimsy design, the AOC LM729 delivers good image quality and a full range of adjustability features.
