Even if you're an enthusiast with cash to spare, paying more doesn't guarantee a better display. Our tests explain why.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/s242hl-bid-u2412m-t24a550,review-32313.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/s242hl-bid-u2412m-t24a550,review-32313.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 06:10:00 CET Another batch of monitors just landed. This time, we're sampling 24" screens. If 27" is too big (and too expensive), and 23" is too small, this round-up is just what you need. We put three screens through the usual paces to find a definitive winner.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/tridef-stereoscopic-3d-gaming,review-32285.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/tridef-stereoscopic-3d-gaming,review-32285.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 06:10:00 CEST It’s about time that someone performed a meaningful comparison of 3D-enabled games using Nvidia’s 3D Vision and AMD’s HD3D.

DisplayLink's technology employs the USB bus to extend your screen. The current implementation isn't perfect; we're more excited about the USB 3.0 hardware it has planned.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ultrasharp-u2711-ds-277w-multisync-pa271w,review-32250.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ultrasharp-u2711-ds-277w-multisync-pa271w,review-32250.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 06:10:00 CEST Many of you asked for a round-up of 27" IPS-based displays, and here it is. Although these screens feature similar specifications, you might be surprised at how much they differ, both in performance and price. Which of the three is right for you?]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/s22a350h-st2220l-e2241s,review-32230.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/s22a350h-st2220l-e2241s,review-32230.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 06:10:00 CEST We're back with another roundup of 22" LCD displays from the likes of Dell, LG, and Samsung. If you're in the market for a new monitor, be sure to look at our benchmarks because all TN-based screens aren't the same. There are some major differences.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ccfl-led-backlight,review-32178.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ccfl-led-backlight,review-32178.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Mon, 02 May 2011 06:10:00 CEST With the display market quickly transitioning to LED backlighting, are we losing anything in the move away from CCFL? Sure, LED is supposed to be greener, with richer contrast and colour...but is it?

Notebook users likely feel this pain most sharply. However, Village Tronic's ViBook proposes a USB-based solution for the folks looking for more display space.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/htpc-lcd-touchscreen,review-31503.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/htpc-lcd-touchscreen,review-31503.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:10:00 CET We look at three premium LCD touch-screen home theater PC cases: the Moneual 972, the SilverStone CW03, and the Thermaltake DH102. Are they well-built HTPC platforms with many options or are they just flashy cases with a pretty face?]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Monitors-Displays,review-29797.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Monitors-Displays,review-29797.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:50:00 CET It’s a great feeling to finally be able to get a good deal on 22 inches, but until now, all those inches haven’t really been Full-HD, a failing that’s no longer an issue with the new generation of 24 inches PC monitors. It’s a pleasant surprise to see...]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/four-wide-screen-19-monitors-compared-uk,review-2107.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/four-wide-screen-19-monitors-compared-uk,review-2107.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:06:38 CET Wide-screen 19" monitors are everywhere. They're less expensive than standard-format 19"ers and are becoming the entry-level standard. Why are they so cheap? How good are they?]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/realistically-augmented-2d-uk,review-1873.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/realistically-augmented-2d-uk,review-1873.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 22:32:26 CEST Gamers have been subjected to mere two-dimensional treatments of their avatars/scenery tracing back to the earliest days of Pong.

Regardless, LCDs with diagonal measurements of 19", 21" and 23" also merit consideration.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/xxl-displays-uk,review-1730.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/xxl-displays-uk,review-1730.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Tue, 27 Jun 2006 16:07:49 CEST The new catalogues of many manufacturers are giving a starring role to 20" wide monitors. After 19" models became somewhat of a standard, the trend seems to be toward another increase in size. But are the new 16:10 aspect ratio panels really all that good? Here's our look at three LCD monitors, fresh from the factory.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/asus-pw191-lcd-uk,review-1654.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/asus-pw191-lcd-uk,review-1654.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 13:43:37 CEST It did not take long for Asus 17" PM17-TU LCD to become a favourite with gamers. Now the manufacturer has shifted into an even higher gear with the PW191, a wide-format 19" monitor with great looks. Unfortunately, its performance is not always on par with its design.]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/the-spring-2006-lcd-collection-uk,review-1628.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/the-spring-2006-lcd-collection-uk,review-1628.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:55:02 CEST We rounded up the best-of-the-best LCD monitors available in retail channels this year - and let us just say we were not disappointed.

Accordingly, the IT manufacturer has also taken the opportunity to market a few products bearing the famous prancing horse emblem. These have usually been portable computers; but now LCD monitors are getting the Ferrari look. How do they perform compared to the rest of the pack?]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/do-you-want-a-16-9-lcd-monitor-now-uk,review-1580.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/do-you-want-a-16-9-lcd-monitor-now-uk,review-1580.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Tue, 31 Jan 2006 13:51:24 CET LCD makers supposedly have been working hard to develop big-performance, wide-screen monitors in 16:9 format. But so far, the results have been dismal. Will new wares from some of the world's largest electronics OEMs finally take things to a new level?]]> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/viewsonic-vp930-lcd-monitoruk,review-1515.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/viewsonic-vp930-lcd-monitoruk,review-1515.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 17 Nov 2005 19:00:00 CET http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/the-secret-sauces-of-thguk,review-1508.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/the-secret-sauces-of-thguk,review-1508.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Thu, 10 Nov 2005 19:00:00 CET http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/lcd-tv-set-fall-preview,review-1453.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/lcd-tv-set-fall-preview,review-1453.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Wed, 28 Sep 2005 20:00:00 CEST http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/all,review-1417.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/all,review-1417.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Tue, 30 Aug 2005 20:00:00 CEST http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/are-17,review-1374.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/are-17,review-1374.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 20:00:00 CEST http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nec-and-lacie-lead-on-professional-lcd-gear,review-1360.html#xtor=RSS-14228 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nec-and-lacie-lead-on-professional-lcd-gear,review-1360.html#xtor=RSS-14228 Wed, 06 Jul 2005 20:00:00 CEST
