The Samsung SyncMaster 213T is a 21.3-inch LCD that offers one digital and two analog connections for broad compatibility, plus the ability to share the display between multiple computers. Its native resolution of 1,600 by 1,200 pixels is the same as most 20-inch LCD displays, but with its added size, it can space out the pixels a bit more, making text and graphic details appear a little larger ... read more at Macworld

SyncMaster 192MP - Samsung

We're talking VGA, DVI, TV RF, S-Video, analog-RGB, component A/V, and composite RCA, plus RCA and mini-jack audio inputs to feed headphones or the display's built-in 5-watt stereo speakers. .... ... read more at MacAddict

Sony SDM-HS74P - Sony

These two Sony LCD displays may differ in price and sizes, but they still have many things in common. Both offer dual-mode (digital and analog) connectivity, both share a native resolution of 1,280 by 1,024 pixels, anxd both buck the trend towards narrow bezel designs. They each sport a wide (2 inches on the sides, 1.5 on top and bottom), shiny, black picture frame design; the 17-inch SDM-HS74P is actually wider than most of 19-inch displays we’ve reviewed... ... read more at Macworld

NEC VT 47 - NEC

The projector has a native resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. This is fairly standard in lower-priced projectors and is adequate for most uses. According to NEC's specification, the lamp will last 3000 hours - more than enough time for some hefty Keynote presentations or a four-month home cinema marathon. ... read more at MacUserUK

ProLite E481S-B - Iiyama (19")

FP991 - BenQ (19")

A 17in compact monitor with small bezel and minimalist looks, the FlexScan L557 from Eizo is an attractive monitor: its black surround and thin base make it really stand out from the crowd.

1760NX - NEC (17")

Business-like was our first thought upon removing the NEC-Mitsubishi 1760NX from its box. A no-nonsense approach to design has created a very professional-looking monitor. VGA and DVI inputs and a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels on this 17in LCD make it a fairly standard monitor, but a silver edge surrounds the LCD and adds just a tiny amount of spice to this otherwise grey affair ... read more at MacUserUK
