The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.
We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, it performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.
The only way to get better quality than the Dell UltraSharp U2410 is to spend a lot more money if you need a 24-inch, are on a budget but still need great quality images, we can wholeheartedly recommend this screen.
We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counter-intuitive set-up, bland design, deplorable print quality and crawling output speeds earn this printer a double thumbs down.
