Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421

Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421

The ThinkVision is an acceptable accessory if you need extra screen real estate on the go. Just don't expect flawless imagery.

BenQ EW2430V

BenQ EW2430V

BenQ's EW2430V is a decent performer with good movie-watching capabilities, excellent black levels and a lengthy warranty. If you're after a good all-rounder, it should suit your needs perfectly.

HighPoint RocketU 1144A

HighPoint RocketU 1144A

If you don't want to wait for Intel to catch up, HighPoint's RocketU 1144A is an excellent way to get into USB 3.0 now.

HP TouchSmart 520

HP TouchSmart 520

The TouchSmart 520 doesn't achieve anything that TouchSmarts before it haven't already. Still, unimpressive touch capability aside, it makes a decent all-in-one touch product worth checking out if the size and price fit your needs.

LG Cinema 3D D2542P-PN

LG Cinema 3D D2542P-PN

LG's D2542P-PN is more suited to console playing and movie watching when in 3D mode, but as a straight monitor there's much better value to be had elsewhere.

Dell Inspiron One 2320

Dell Inspiron One 2320

We can't say that touch on the desktop has ever appealed to us — but as a simple all-in-one, the Inspiron One does just fine.

Acer S273HL

Acer S273HL

For AU$599, it's hard to be too unkind to the S273HL. Still, for a little more you could get the far superior U2711 — it all depends on your wallet.

Dell ST2220T

Dell ST2220T

The ST2220T is certainly passable as a touchscreen monitor, with the IPS screen going a long way to increasing its appeal. Some poor design choices hold it back from greatness, though, and unless you have a burning desire for a touchscreen, you should be investing your money in a normal monitor.

Apple iMac 27 (Early 2011)

Apple iMac 27 (Early 2011)

We recommend Apple's new 27-inch iMac to digital media editors and others with serious performance needs on the strength of its impressive speed, its connected device potential and its market-leading 27-inch display.

Apple iMac 21.5 (Early 2011)

Apple iMac 21.5 (Early 2011)

The 21.5-inch iMac doesn't offer the same clear advantage over its competition as the 27-inch model. Still, the entry-level iMac offers enough speed, and the unique potential of its Thunderbolt port.

CeBIT 2012 opens: photos

Business-technology exhibition CeBIT 2012 kicked off today, bringing together a who's who of technology players. Many exhibitors appeared to be playing it safe, with booth babes absent from view. Instead, a few took BYO to heart, and brought their own trucks, caravans and bikes.
