A Rock-Solid Display
Perhaps it's not the flashiest-looking LCD we've ever seen, but LG Electronics' new Flatron L2000C is competing with the big guys in one of the fastest-growing new display sizes--20 inches. The L2000C, which LG is targeting at graphics, medical and financial-services customers, comes with an ultra-thin bezel, is based on a 1,600 x 1,200-resolution eight-bit panel, offers a contrast ratio of 800-to-1, produces a brightness of 300 cd/m and has a viewing angle of 178 degrees. The company offers 24/7 support and a 48-hour swap program with free shipping both ways during the three-year warranty period.

Portability And Brightness In One Package
The ViewSonic name brings monitors to most people's minds, but the vendor also offers a broad selection of projectors. So far this year, the company has unveiled five new projectors, including the PK458D, which is positioned for optimal output from both PCs and video systems. It produces 2,000 lumens, offers a native XGA resolution of 1,024 x 768 and delivers a contrast ratio of 2,000-to-1. The result? Bright, sharp images with vivid colors. The PK458D, which weighs less than 5 pounds, also supports HDTV signals, making this projector suitable for home, office and school environments. One of its cousins, a higher-end unit called the PJ766D, produces up to 2,500 lumens but costs an additional $500 and is 2 pounds heavier.

Big And Bright, But Premium Comes With A Price
The power user should have a power display, and Philips' new 23-inch LCD fits the bill. The 230WP7, an upgrade to the 230W5, is based on an IPS panel and offers the following: improved front-of-screen performance (for example, a contrast ratio of 700-to-1, up from 500-to-1), a response time of 12 milliseconds, a brightness of 300 cd/m (up from 250) and a 178-degree viewing angle. Because of its SuperErgo base, the 230WP7 can be shifted easily between portrait and landscape modes. It also supports the vendor's SmartManage asset-management tool. This display is great for users who want to view two documents side-by-side without having to tile two 17-inch displays.
