LG M2262D 22-Inch Widescreen 1080p LCD TV Monitor (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price you could get a cheaper HDTV, and you could get a cheaper monitor...however having the functionality of both is well worth a few extra dollars. This is a fantastic unit overall that I think the average consumer will be very happy with it.
Pros:
-Fantastic remote, really makes the unit feel like a dedicated HDTV when using the unit in TV mode.
-HDTV tuner (interal) seems to be as-good, if not better than the $50 external unit I was previously using to pick up over-the-air DTV. (note that you do still need an antenna)
- Resolution. The built-in drivers for the monitor have 10+ resolution settings, allowing you to custom-tailor the resolution when using the unit as a PC monitor. For example this device up-converts my netbook's resolution to a gorgeous resolution that is about double the resolution of the netbook itself. Was not expecting this!
- An absurd amount of connections.
Cons:
- Viewing angle when using as a TV not great, especially if you are laying on the floor and looking up at the screen.
- Silly extra plastic strip at the bottom of the unit - this just adds bulk and takes away from the sleakness of the unit. Why would they purposefully make the bezel larger?
- Touch sensitive buttons are already inconsistent; they sometimes require a second push and are slow to respond.
Overall I would buy this unit again and I think for the price, the dual-functionality is fantastic. Great for a home office.

Dell IN1910N 18.5-Inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this monitor to complete a dual monitor set up and it has worked out
real nice.
The Dell is sitting on top of an older (but I love it) ViewSonic P225 and is hooked up to a GeForce 6200 card through a DVI-I Male to VGA Male cable from HDE $13.00 from Amazon. The set up is sweet and not expensive (Card and Monitor $150.00).
I am a bit spoiled with the ViewSonic CRT as it is a professional machine and that is how I used it (CAD), so giving the Dell kudos is a bit hard, but for my application and for a stand alone monitor, it is a good choice.
The controls are well laid out (bottom right with full adjust for bright, pin, pos, Etc.) and On/Off.
The stand is sound with only slight wobble and the power and graphics cords come out the bottom on either side of the mount.
The screen is very bright (brighter than my CRT) but definition is not as good.

ViewSonic's VA2231WM 22-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor with Speakers, DVI and Energy Star 5.0 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ViewSonic VA2231WM 22 inch monitor offers a beautiful picture, great resolution, 1920 x 1080 native, relatively poor speakers (but if you cared about sound quality, you would have a separate set of descent speakers anyway). It comes with BOTH a DVI cable, and a VGA cable; plus a cable to support directing your sound output into the monitor's speakers. The base was really easy to attach without tools; all other setup was trivial too.
If you're getting by with speakers that cost less than $20, then you'll be happy with the space savings of the built in speakers. If you "need" high quality sound, then just leave the speaker part of this monitor unplugged, you'll still come out better off (and you won't see the speakers anyway).
The performance of this monitor seems great statistically, although I have it hooked to my laptop via a Targus docking station (via DVI) that connects via USB to the computer, I'm sure that I can't get all that stellar performance this way, but that's not it's purpose for me.
This monitor is highly recommended, it has a great price here on Amazon.com. Buy one for yourself.

Panasonic TC-L22X2 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with iPod Dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little LCD hasn't got the credit it deserves, (3.5 stars ??). We got this LCD to replace a 15 year old 26 inch RCA tube TV in our bedroom. We were contemplating a 26 inch LCD, but decided to go with the 22 inch. We are very big fans of all TVs Panasonic; 1 plasma, 1 TAU and now 1 LCD. It has beautiful imagery and great sound. The menu is very intuitive with many options to fine tune the picture and audio. Speakers are just fine for a bedroom. The docking system is great. Our room is 12x12 and I can't believe these reviewers that put a 42 inch TV in their 12x12 bedrooms. Way too big. With the lights on the TV appears small but the picture is so clear and crisp it makes up for it. All text is very easy to read from 10 feet away. With the lights off you would be hard pressed to guess it's only a 22 inch. If you need to upgrade a TV for your bedroom, this TV is an excellent choice.
