The Bottom Line	The ViewSonic VA2626 is a basic 26-inch LCD that has neither the features nor performance to merit a recommendation. You can find better monitors for less.	The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price. Only a flimsy stand, an overcalibrated color-temperature setting, and a poor lower viewing angle prevent a higher recommendation for this 25.5-inch LCD.	The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 looks great, performs well, and hits the right price point.	The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.	The HP w2558hc is jam-packed with features and well worth its asking price.
