HP LP2275w

When we reviewed this monitor in late 2008, it was the best performing LCD we'd tested to that point. Since then, a couple monitors have surpassed its performance, but not many. Compared to any other monitor we've reviewed, the HP LP2275 has excellent performance, a full set of ergonomic features, a high quality S-PVA panel, and a reasonable price.

Price:$405.87 - $429.00 (check prices)
