HP W2207H 22 Inch:



This reasonably priced, full-featured LCD monitor has good physical adjustments and offers great image quality.

The 22-inch w2207h has all the features you could want in a good monitor. It comes through with great image quality, particularly with text, and it provides tilt, pivot, swivel, and height adjustments.

HP incorporated its Brightview glare panel in the w2207h, instead of using the chemically treated antiglare coating that appears on some of the company's other monitors, such as the the HP LP3065 and the the HP LP1965. This makes for a cleaner-looking image, but introduces more reflectivity as well.

The display, which has a native resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels, comes with two side USB ports, plus HDMI and VGA inputs. HP doesn't bundle an adapter to connect the monitor's HDMI or VGA ports to the DVI connection that most PCs now use, though such adapters are inexpensive and readily available online.

The display sits in a thin about 1-inch glossy black bezel with rounded edges. Unfortunately, you can easily smudge the glossy finish with fingerprints when adjusting the display. Though the w2207h doesn't have a headphone jack, it does include a set of built-in speakers. Like most speakers built in to monitors, the HP's are weak in bass, resulting in flat, tinny audio. For soft background music or basic sound effects for games, however, the speakers are adequate.

HP includes MyDisplay software to help you perform simple monitor calibrations, and you can automatically rotate the screen when you pivot it. Overall, if this monitor finds its way into your home or office, you'll most likely be happy with it. Just be prepared to buy a DVI adapter.

Comments: First off, it is a very imposing and impressive looking monitor right out of the box. I love the clean and sharp look of it, not to mention the picture is about as crisp as you will find anywhere.

Great highly detailed picture. Love the black glossy look of both the screen and the bezel, also the pivot function.

Samsung Syncmaster 2263DX



Samsung's 2263DX delivers two monitors in one: a 22-inch LCD and a secondary 7-inch display that's handy for expanding your screen real estate. Unfortunately, this added convenience commands a price premium, and the 2263DX is nearly double the cost of an average 22-inch monitor.

The main 22-inch display looks sleek, with a thin, glossy black bezel on the top, left, and right sides, plus a thin, translucent plastic casing on the bottom. It has a native resolution of 1680 by 1050, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and inputs for DVI, HDMI, and VGA. It achieved high marks in the PC World Test Center's performance tests, taking sixth place in overall performance and earning a score of Very Good. Overall, the 2263DX came in second on our chart of 20- and 22-inch LCDs, thanks to its performance, its wealth of features, and its high design-quality scores.

Before attaching the secondary LCD, you connect it via USB to the main 22-inch one. Then you must link the 22-incher to the PC, through USB in addition to DVI, HDMI, or VGA. The small LCD can sit on the top or along either side of the main monitor's casing, and it can double as a portable secondary display for your laptop. I found it useful for housing Photoshop tools, my music player, a video conferencing window, or instant messaging windows--and I even used it as a digital photo frame (not all at the same time, of course). We did not test the secondary LCD's image quality, but in our informal tests the 800-by-480-resolution screen produced pleasing images--similar in quality to those shown on the main 22-inch display--when displaying YouTube videos and photos.

Samsung's 2263DX is best suited for consumers who need to declutter their desks, or for graphic designers who could use the added screen space for their software tools. Most people would be better off buying two of Samsung's own 20-inch 205BW monitors for the cost of one 22-inch 2263DX--and they'd still have some money left over.

NEC Multisync LCD225WNXM-BK

This display has lots of ports, delivered good image quality, is fully adjustable, and carries an average price.

The 225WNXM sits in a very thin (about 0.5 inch) matte finish black bezel that's not sleek, but looks good. The display features a 1680 by 1050 native resolution, DVI and VGA ports, four USB ports, headphone jack, and it has a set of hidden down-firing speakers.

Whereas most built-in speakers sound flat or tinny, the speakers on this display possess a full range of sound, though they lack the deep bass that a separate speaker system would provide. Their main limitation is volume: They don't get superloud.

The on-screen display (OSD) menu is far from spectacular. You can make all the adjustments necessary--such as brightness and contrast--and you even get individual color controls, but the menu's text and graphics are very small and unintuitive. A bit of common sense and good engineering could fix the navigation shortcomings.

When we tested the 225WNXM at the PC World Test Center as part of a collection of 19 LCD monitors in the same category (models with 20- to 22-inch displays), it ranked sixth in performance. The monitor did a particularly good job of rendering text but was less successful with graphics. This set's screen is treated with an antiglare chemical coating. If you prefer a glossier look, you'll have to search elsewhere.

An HDMI option on this monitor would have been nice, and the OSD certainly has plenty of room for improvement, but other than that this is a great 22-inch display.
