  • HP 2159m

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

  • HP w185

    Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

  • ViewSonic VX2433wm

    ViewSonic VX2433wm is a low-priced monitor with acceptable performance for everyday tasks.

  • Dell ST2310

    The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.

  • Samsung N110

    An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
