PolyCom VSX 3000
Usage rating

Regular users of video conferencing may welcome the VSX 3000, an integrated LCD monitor and conferencing system. Designed to save space on the desktop, it integrates the functions of a full-size video conferencing system into a standard monitor form factor. It aims to offer higher-quality conferencing than PC-based systems, but this will depend on the other party’s equipment being of a similar standard. The VSX 3000 includes an H.323-compliant video conferencing system that can use ISDN or an IP network. Up to four ISDN Basic Rate Interfaces (BRIs) can be used, or 100Mbps Ethernet is provided as a network connection....

Apple Cinema HD Display (23in.)
Usage rating

Apple's latest line of Cinema HD Displays (available in 20in., 23in. and 30in. models) ushers in a renewed spirit of cross-platform cooperation. Thanks to a DVI connector on every Cinema HD Display, PC users can now enjoy the fabulous design and stunning image quality that Apple aficionados have been luxuriating in since the iMac. The 23in. Cinema HD Display, in particular, is a looker. It's so lovely that we're willing to forgive its high price (£1,318.30 ex. VAT, or £1,549 inc. VAT), limited adjustability and lack of video inputs. In fact, hooking it up to a comparatively hideous Intel-based PC...

Sharp LL-151-3D
Usage rating

Sharp announced its first device with a 3D display -- a notebook called the Actius RD3D -- in the US towards the end of 2003. The Actius RD3D has not shown up in the UK, and Sharp has no plans to launch it here. However, the company has introduced the same technology into a standalone 15in. LCD monitor which is available to UK buyers. It’s not cheap at £950 (ex. VAT; £1,116.25 inc. VAT), but, like the Actius RD3D, this monitor does offer 3D viewing without the need for those awful 3D glasses. The Sharp LL-151-3D is nothing special to...

Dell UltraSharp 1905FP
Usage rating

With above-average image quality and a competitive price, the Dell 1905FP is well worth the money. The 19in. LCD retains the basic look and flexible design of its predecessors -- although the stand feels a bit sturdier -- and it offers the same height adjustment range of about 13cm. It also smoothly tilts, swivels and rotates from Portrait to Landscape mode. You can lock the monitor at its lowest height position and remove the panel from the pillar by pressing a release button, which makes this display easy to transport and store. A rubber sleeve on the back of the...

Samsung SyncMaster 910T
Usage rating

The Samsung SyncMaster 910T is a large-screen business-oriented LCD with an attractive price because it lacks multimedia extras such as speakers. The 19in. Samsung 910T has a crisp, professional look, thanks to a clean, 2cm-wide bezel that surrounds three sides of the screen and widens to just 2.5cm along the bottom edge. The 910T's design stays focused on getting down to business without flashy distractions. The six-button control panel is so bland as to be nearly invisible -- the raised black-on-black labels and icons are practically impossible to read. Fortunately, the SyncMaster 910T comes with MagicTune software, which lets you...

Apple previews 'Tiger' OS, launches 30in. Cinema HD display
Usage rating

Every Jobs presentation must, it seems, feature at least one device to 'ooh and ahh' over. This year, the WWDC keynote showcased an aluminium-encased, ultra-flat, 30in. Apple Cinema HD display. The digital display is part of a new family of restyled displays, which includes a 20in. and a 23in. model. The flagship 30in. model will debut in August with a shocking £2,549 (inc. VAT) price tag, 2,560 by 1,600 resolution, and built-in FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 hubs. Now for the drawbacks (in case the £2,549 didn't knock you sideways): the display requires a 'dual-link' DVI interface found only on...

Samsung SyncMaster 173P
Usage rating

Samsung SyncMaster 173P's stylish matte-silver and glossy-white plastic makes it fingerprint-resistant; it also makes it look like an Apple iMac's cousin. The display sits on a small but stable circular base, under which is an embedded lazy Susan that swivels 360 degrees. With a dual-hinged neck similar to that of the SyncMaster 192T, the SyncMaster 173P's screen tilts 5 degrees forward and an impressive 135 degrees backward. You can also raise the panel about 7cm -- just a bit less than with the extremely adjustable Dell 1703FP. The panel pivots from Landscape to Portrait mode -- a nice extra on...

Sony SDM-S204
Usage rating

Sony's 20.1in. SDM-S204 has a super-thin bezel measuring around 1.3cm wide on the sides, 1.9cm along the top, and 2.6cm on the bottom. Seven round control buttons are tucked discreetly along the lower-right bezel. For such a large monitor, the SDM-S204 sits low -- the top of the screen is just 46cm from the desktop -- and it's considerably less adjustable than other large LCDs are. You cannot raise or lower the panel, nor can you rotate it to Portrait mode. However, the SDM-S204 swivels a generous 175 degrees on a lazy Susan underneath the base, and you can tilt...

Epson Perfection 2450 Photo
Usage rating

Epson's Perfection 2450 photo scanner is a consumer-oriented device that graphics professionals and advanced photographers won't hesitate to use. With fast one-touch scanning, great image quality and software that even novices will master in minutes, this 48-bit image grabber is a home or business user's dream. The Perfection 2450 photo scanner's price is justified by features that imaging professionals will love, too, including 2,400 by 4,800 dots per inch (dpi) resolution, a built-in transparency unit and an advanced image-capture driver with a multitude of fine-tuning controls. Even first-timers will sail through installation using the Start Here poster. Click a few...

HP Scanjet 3670
Usage rating

Hewlett-Packard's Scanjet 3670 offers basic features for budget-minded students and home users and a low £57 (ex. VAT) price. True photo fanatics, however, should spring for a scanner with a higher optical resolution and more capabilities, such as the Epson Perfection 1670. The Scanjet 3670 could use a more streamlined, stylish design; its body is on the boxy side, and it's coloured in dull grey shades. The convenient sliding hinges on the scanner's lid accommodate books or albums, but they feel a little unstable when opening and closing the top. Handy features include the built-in Transparent Material Adapter for scanning...
