Buyers Guide: Computer monitors Reviews
Newest Review: ... plug than the HDMI socket on a digital TV, but unlike the HDMI lead, it does not carry sound signals. In all other respects it is similar, and you can even buy DVI/HDMI converter adapters quite cheaply. On the subject of sound, a handful of monitors actually contain speakers, be here again, as with panel TVs, the sound is pretty 'slim' hence most people use a separate set of speakers with their PC. Some monitors, like my AOC e2343f, have both VGA and DVI inputs, which is very useful if you are buying 'in between' buying PCs, as the day may well come when PCs only have digital video outputs at some time in the future. At the moment, ... more

WHY CHANGE? (I'm assuming that no-one in 2013 is going to buy a CRT (tube) monitor. Other reviews in this sector are pretty old and still include the CRT as an option.) There are many reasons why you'd buy a new LCD (flat-screen) monitor. One of which is to accompany a new PC, either included in the overall price, or as a separate item. Or maybe your old monitor just breathed its last and a new one is now a necessity. This is how I've tended to buy monitors, i.e. alternately to my purchases of new PCs! I'm guessing that the older bulkier and more-expensive-to-run CRT (TV tube) monitors have just about seen their last days, ... Read the complete review

An opinion on the I. T. Works GC150AT (15" flat screen tft monitor) by Glenny My old monitor was getting a bit long in the tooth, it was a 14" Packard bell monitor that I got as part of a computer package about 5 years ago now and was starting to show it's age. For starters the screen was always Fuzzy & Blurred looking and I had to squint to make the text clear and readable, so enough was enough I decided it was time for a change, And WOW what a change. I always thought of these monitors as being outside of my budget, so whilst browsing my local comet store I was surprised to see such an amazing monitor for only £300, I know that ...

Still using that 14" monitor that came with your Top of the Range DX-66 in 1995? Yes? Do you find yourself squinting at the text? Can't tell anymore whether it's your own men or the evil aliens you are currently obliterating? Might I recommend a new monitor? I said new, but I really mean, newer. A new, boxed, ooh-let's-pop-all-that-bubble-wrap monitor can cost hundreds of pounds, but have you considered buying second hand (or second user as the industry prefers it to be termed)? Many computer users are put off at the thought of a pre-used monitor - not least due to the typically 3-month-only guarantees, but bear with me, and I will try to change ... Read the complete review

This is the monitor that I have got with my PC, please look over my advantages and disadvantages. This will help you make a good decision when purchasing a monitor. The monitor that I am very obviously looking at while typing this opinion, is the Gateway EV910 monitor that came as part of my £1400 PC package from Gateway. This monitor, (I may have only had since Christmas) has proven to me that it was certainly worth the replacement of PC. While the main differences are obvious from my CTX 15’ and my Gateway 19’ (Size); the monitor came with a whole load more of advantages that I never thought that I would have gained, and also some ...
