Five Top Monitors 20-inches and Larger

Big, Beautiful 20-inch Flat Panel Monitors Rated and Reviewed

From , former About.com Guide

Let's face it. Having a nice, big LCD screen makes any computing experience better. But as the monitor gets larger, the need for a high quality product increases as well.

When it comes to monitors, the picture is everything. Sure, a nice response time is nice and the ability to adapt the monitor to your liking makes it better, but the real need is for a clear and crisp picture with vibrant colors and bold blacks and whites. Here are five of the best in their class at twenty inches and larger.

1. Samsung 22" Touch of Color T220

A 22-inch monitor, the Samsung Touch of Color T220 is on that edge between average size and impressively massive, but with this monitor is not the size the matters. The picture quality and stylish design more than make up for its short comings in other areas.

2. Dell S2409 24-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor

On the larger size of this spectrum without getting into absurd price ranges, the Dell S2409 is an amazing 24-inch monitor at a great price. With its widescreen and HD capabilities, this monitor is clearly made for those who enjoy using their desktop computer for multimedia purposes.

3. LG 22" Flatron Widescreen LCD Monitor

This LG model is big, impressive, and unquestionably attractive looking. But no matter how good it looks, what counts is on the screen, and the 22-inch Flatron delivers, allowing for colors that pop, a super-fast response time, deep blacks and bright whites right out of the box.

4. HP W2007 20-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor

Offering a clear picture and vivid colors, the HP W2007 is a 20-inch monitor that could rival many of those larger -- and more expensive -- than it is. The picture quality is continuously great no matter what you are doing -- playing a game or just surfing the internet.

5. Acer V223-WBD 22-inch Widescreen TFT LCD Monitor

As you might expect from Acer, this 22-inch monitor falls in a great price range for its size -- under $200. But the picture is still good quality, offering bright colors, clear views, and an impressively wide viewing angle for those who aren't always watching their monitor head on.[/p]
