This article evaluates the FP231W liquid crystal display (LCD) from BenQ. FP231W's 23-inch wide-screen LCD monitor makes an impressive desk trophy. But unfortunately, its performance does not live up to its great first impression. Although the monitor's se-date charcoal-and-matte-silver cabinet looks very professional, the $1999 FP231W is clearly meant for greater things than just spreadsheets. In addition to analog and digital inputs, it includes S-Video and composite inputs. The unit's vast screen, with a 1920 by 1200 native resolution, can display several applications at once--and that is not counting the picture-in-picture window for watching TV or videos. However, in the informal tests of a shipping model, regular video seemed to be a little grainy and ghosty. High-definition video was sharper, but still showed some ghosting. In any application, light areas appeared shimmery and washed out, causing black text on a white background to display as less than perfect. The FP231W offers some nice features. For example, unlike most 23-inch models it can swivel from side to side as well as tilt. Even when I raised the monitor several inches on its base, it felt stable and well balanced. Sadly, such fancy features do not overcome the unit's iffy image quality.

This article evaluates the ColorPlus monitor calibration package from Pantone ColorVision. Known for its $249 SpyderPro package for professional photographers, the company offers ColorPlus as its first product for consumers. Included are a hardware sensor and wizard-based calibration software; though ColorPlus has fewer options than its sibling. When used to calibrate a 19-inch Samsung SyncMaster 955DF cathode ray tube, the software will advice the user to make manual adjustments and then it will make changes as it automatically cycled through a range of colors. The entire process will take five minutes. The software supports the International Color Consortium specification.

This article evaluates the SynMaster 173mw liquid crystal display from Samsung Electronics America. This product integrates high-definition television. support. One can deliver video to the product via coaxial, composite, S-Video, component inputs. Using the included remote control or the on-screen display, one can toggle between a full-screen computer desktop, high-definition television or standard television programming, and a DVD player or video game. The high resolution of high-definition television looks good, and text was crisp and sharp. The field of vision makes this display fine for single person but less than optimal for a group. It is easy to rotate the product on its heavy circular base. One can use the monitor to watch a television program in the in-picture window while working on a spreadsheet in the home office. The product would be a great display choice for a personal computer running Windows XP and Media Center Edition from Microsoft Corp. The product is worth its premium price of $750 is the user would like to view various media and to control them all from the monitor itself.
