The screen quality makes the VP171b one of ViewSonic's less impressive performers.

Only the most demanding and professional users will be able to fault the VP730b. Its image quality and performance recommend it as one of the best LCD Monitors we’ve reviewed.

In spite of its superfast response time, it's a decent but unspectacular monitor.

A performance-driven monitor, the FP71V's excellent response times and generally high quality images make it ideal for gamers and lovers of action movies. Users looking for high quality and precise images may find this BenQ model to be slightly inadequate.

It's pretty pricey, but we'd be prepared to pay for such superb contrast ratio, excellent design and sharp image quality. A top choice.

The VP720b is a fairly good monitor for displaying graphics but is let down when reading text.

At this price point, the Asus is certainly a good deal, provided you can live with its lack of adjustability.
