As promised we are now rolling out our new and highly demanded ‘top 3 recommended monitors’ feature. Given the range of PC Monitors available in the monitor shop we can understand how confusing it is – especially if you get conflicting advice from elsewhere about a particular panel. You need to decide on a screen size, a manufacturer, a particular aesthetic than appeals to you, connectivity, stand adjustability, panel type, price and many other factors and it can be a pretty overwhelming task. That’s why, in response to our recent poll, we are now rolling out the new recommended monitors feature for each manufacturer. If you can’t decide on a manufacturer you may want to take a look at the Top 10 Monitors section – but we certainly recommend you keep up to date with our personal screen recommendations. These are not just best sellers – they are monitors that we know offer you the best value for money and/or image quality. We will of course update the ‘top 3′ for each manufacturer just as we will update the ‘top 10′, periodically. Here is the list so far with more recommended monitors to follow from other manufacturers in the very near future:

The PC Monitors shop has been undergoing some tweaking here and there over the past few weeks. Current improvements include combining the UK and US monitor shops so that a visitor who visits the monitor shop is directed to content appropriate to their country. We have also received positive feedback about the high-rated monitors widget on the sidebar, so have included that in the monitor shop section as well. The quick poll below is designed so that you, the PC Monitors reader, can give valuable input that will help shape the PC Monitors shop of the future.

We have already implemented the Top 10 monitors section, recommended monitors for each manufacturer on the sidebar (subject to change) and are working on the top 3 recommended monitors for each manufacturer. Thought we’d pull this to the top to let others have their say.

Last month we brought you news of the LG W2363D (also known as the LG W63D). Despite UK retail availability of this monitor being next to none-existant at the moment, the bright and high-performance 120Hz ’3D’ gaming monitor is now available in the PC Monitors shop. The LG W2363D offers an alternative design to the very popular Acer GD245HQ but with similarly pleasing performance – so it’s perfect for those who want a 23 inch 3D computer monitor but don’t like orange!

We are expecting some new 3D monitors from ASUS shortly, too, and will keep your posted when they are available.

It’s been a long time coming and this one has got a lot of people giddy with excitement. Samsung’s first consumer 24 inch LED-backlit computer monitor, the BX2450, is now available in the monitor shop – alongside the smaller members of the BX50 series. Combining elegent styling with a high performance LED backlight, the BX2450 offers a bright image with excellent responsiveness and is quite possibly one of the best LED-backlit monitors currently on the market. In our XL2370 review, we reviewed a very similar panel that shares much of the technology with the BX2450 – we were amazed by its performance and we really think this monitor is something special.
