    BenQ VW2420H review Excellent contrast and great viewing angles, but colours are a little cold and power consumption isn't as low as other LED monitors.

  • ViewSonic VX2250wm-LED (front)
    ViewSonic VX2250wm-LED review Good image quality, but the design isn't particularly attractive and it costs a little more than the competition.

  • BenQ V2410T
    BenQ V2410T review Image quality is unremarkable, but the low power consumption and adjustable stand mean this 24in LED monitor is still a good choice for some.

  • Eminent iTrio EM7100 Wireless HDMI sender
    Eminent iTrio EM7100 Wireless HDMI sender review Streams 1080p reliably without delay, but the compression leads to quality degradation. For this much money, we'd expect better quality.

  • RTI90-320 front with remote
    Sagemcom RTI90-320 review Great HD quality, but with few other frills currently, the RTI90-320 is an expensive way to get three free HD channels

  • Panasonic Viera TX-L32G20B
    Panasonic Viera TX-L32G20B review If it were considerably cheaper this would be a great TV, but as it is, the G20 is overpriced for a 32in TV.
