Pros: No dead pixels, Great color
Cons: Speakers could be better, No HDMI/USB ports

Compared to other monitors, ViewSonic's VX2250WM uses white LEDs that enable you to help the planet and save more by consuming 40% less power. It also offers a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio perfect for watching movies, playing games and net surfing. In addition, this 22" monitor is compatible with both PC and Mac systems and boasts a non-reflective screen, a 10,000,000:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, a 5ms response time and built-in stereo speakers. It uses touch spots instead of buttons for controls and has DVI and VGA inputs for easy connectivity. On the other hand, this monitor does not have an HDMI interface, nor does it have USB inputs. . Its base also has no height adjustments and doesn't swivel. It only tilts forward and backward so if you don't have a tall desk then you might need to put something under it. If you're also considering this LED monitor because of the integrated speakers then you should find another one because audio quality is not this monitor's strongest point. In terms of appearance, it is very slim and sleek. Its piano black finish can be a fingerprint magnet but it complements any decor and will make a great addition to any room. It also gives you the option to mount it on the wall or on a VESA compliant stand. What most people like about the ViewSonic VX2250WM is its astounding color and contrast that does not need a lot of calibration. Overall, it's a great monitor for the price and it has excellent image quality that will leave you more than impressed.

Pros: Slim, Excellent picture quality, Fast response rate, Low power consumption
Cons: Poor audio quality, Glossy bezel, Viewing angles could be improved

Combining LED backlighting technology and Asus' Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, the 24-inch Asus VE248H offers low power consumption and high-quality video output. There are 3 skin-tone modes and 5 preset video modes which include Game, Theater, Scenery, Standard and Night View. One of its step-up features is its aspect control function which lets you choose between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. While it is embedded with two 1W stereo speakers, it is recommended to hook up a nice set of speakers for enhanced audio quality. The viewing angles of this LED monitor needs improvement. The height of the stand cannot be adjusted and the tilt angles are not the best. It would've also been better if it is constructed with a matte bezel rather than the glossy type. Otherwise, it makes a compelling choice for the purpose of multimedia enjoyment as well as professional use. It flaunts a slim bezel, a great screen size and an outstanding screen resolution. It can also be considered both user-friendly and eco-friendly. The Asus VE248H features a 2ms Response Time and 10,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio which ensure crisp and clear moving images along with exceptional color rendition. It supports Full HD 1080p resolution and has an HDMI port. Thanks to its multi-language On-Screen Display, set-up is a painless process. The buttons are conveniently positioned and the unit can sit atop your desk or easily mounted on the wall using a VESA Wall Mount. There is also a Cable manager that minimizes cable clutter.

Pros: Bright and vivid display, Non-glossy finish, Large, Good price
Cons: Light bleeding along the edges, No height adjustment, Base seems wobbly

Asus has churned out a number of good budget monitors. The 27-inch VE278Q is one perfect example. The AI Light function, in addition to being more eco-friendly, automatically assists you in low-lit or dark environment by adjusting your monitor's brightness. It also provides outstanding Full HD 1080p widescreen performance. The 2ms Response Time guarantees no motion blur of any kind when watching sports or movies with high-speed scenes and the 10,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio delivers brilliant and vivid colors. Given all these features, the VE278Q is a premier choice for multimedia use, as well as for professionals who need a big screen. The Splendid Video Intelligence Technology pays attention to all the aspects necessary to display a clear and good picture. 4 Color Temperature modes and 3 Skin Tone modes ensure the best color. To suit different purposes, PIP (Picture in Picture) function and six preset video modes such as Scenery, Theater, Game, Night View, sRGB and Standard are easily selectable through a Hotkey. HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces are likewise featured in the VE278Q. Included accessories are a DVI cable, a VGA cable, an Audio cable and a Power cord. In terms of aesthetics, the ASUS VE278Q is similar to most monitors in the sense that it has the usual slim bezel around the screen. What sets it apart, however, is its non-glossy finish that makes everything easier to view and reduces reflections coming from other light sources inside the room. However, light bleeding around the edges of the screen can be expected. There are two 3-watt built-in stereo speakers but like in any other budget monitor, it is fine for casual use but don't expect it to do miracles. Also, the base, aside from not being height-adjustable, can be a little wobbly. Mounting it to a wall may be a better alternative if you feel that it helps keep the unit safe and stable but other than that, the Asus VE278Q is as good as it gets, at least when it comes to price and size.

Pros: Flexible connectivity, Slim, Outstanding image quality
Cons: No integrated speakers, No height adjustment, Glossy finish

It boasts great black and white levels and sports a stylish design that gives it a sleek and edgy look. It also ships with all the necessary cables including a VGA and DVI cable. On the other hand, it falls short on three features. First, it doesn't have built-in speakers like most monitors in the same class. Second, its stand seems sturdy but it doesn't permit height adjustment and lastly, its piano black glossy bezel may be attractive but it has the tendency to gather dust and fingerprints easily. The HP 2511x is ideal for business and for pleasure. It provides excellent color rendition and is perfect for viewing multiple spreadsheets and enjoying high-def content. There is an On-Screen Display for easy set-up and the unit also supports HDCP which offers uncompromising protection while enhancing your HDTV's resolution.

In terms of viewing angles, it is limited as it only allows a tilt angle of 0 to +25°. The HP 2311x is designed with an ultra-slim bezel with rounded corners. The glossy finish can be a disappointment since it attracts fingerprints and demands constant cleaning but on the bright side, the screen itself is matte so you can enjoy watching high-quality movies without the annoying reflections. Lighter and thinner than most HDTVs, it utilizes minimal desktop space and also exudes beauty and style.
