CNET’s notorious monitor guru Eric Franklin has had his hands (and eyes) all over the HP DreamColor LP2480zx. The first thing that fails to escape anybody’s notice is the truly staggering price of the LP2480zx. If we were to tell you the exact price you would most likely leave PC Monitors in disgust or cover your keyboard with your previous meal; suffice to say, it’s expensive! According to CNET; what you get for that price is absolutely stunning colour reproduction and some very deep and dark blacks. The very low levels of backlight bleedthrough, excellent luminance uniformity and of course stunning colour reproduction should make this a top choice for any serious graphics professionals. One thing to bare in mind – it is comparable to the larger, higher-resolution and cheaper NEC MultiSync PA271W(which we hope to review shortly). Click the image to read the full CNET review.

We have continued our thorough revamp of the monitor shop in response to recent user feedback. The most recent update includes inclusion of the best selling PC Monitors for each manufacturer, in the form of a very user-friendly sidebar widget. We will also consider listing 3+ personally recommended (by us, of course) computer monitors for each manufactuer. This will most likely be rolled out slowly to make sure that the content is just right – we think this is an important aspect of the user experience here on PC Monitors.

In response to user feedback we have created a page dedicated to the top 10 best selling computer monitors. You can find this page here, as part of the PC Monitors monitor shop. The monitors included in this page are considered to be some of the best available by both experts and users and it really is a cracking list. We will update the list periodically as new monitors make it into the ‘charts’ and are also working on bringing you the changes you demand from us here at PC Monitors. After all – we went the best experience possible for you, the reader, and we do value your feedback.

PC Monitors has published its latest review of the NEC MultiSync PA241W. The NEC PA241W impressed us with the range of colours, both vibrant and subtle, and topped this off with great contrast and viewing angles. A lot of the praise that we had for the monitor can be attributed to the P-IPS panel – but nothing in life is perfect and the PA241W is no exception. Read the review to find out more.

NEC MultiSync PA241W review by PC Monitors

Imagine the disappointment of our readers when they discovered that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 doesn’t feature chocolate fudge cakes or custard. We have corrected this misinformation in our XL2370 review – it used to read: “We had a similar experience looking into the sun on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and found that the bloom effects in the game really hammer home the great contrast between the dark and gloomy indoors and the blindingly bright dessert outside. At times the glare in the dessert was quite literally dazzling”. We were actually referring to sandy deserts. Sandy desserts aren’t really very appetising!
