IPS screen technology is everywhere. The latest IPS PC monitor is the new Philips Brilliance Blade 2, a Full HD 23-inch screen.

Time to fire up the new Iiyama T2451MTS, a 24-inch, Full-HD touch-enabled widescreen monitor to find out if touch is the next big thing for the desktop.

This 27-inch Philips monitor features an AMVA panel. This usually means rich colours and contrast, but can produce problems, too.

The floodgates have opened for cheap IPS technology, and the screens keep on flowing. This new ViewSonic is one of the best.

When it comes to PC monitors, we hate novelty "gaming" monitors and TN panels. This monitor has both, but we love it.

The AOC i2352Vh is a Full HD 23-inch PC monitor. But here's the really dramatic thing: it's got an IPS panel. And it's just £130.

This monitor has a 21.5-inch screen with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, all for the very wallet-friendly price of £89. But is it too good to be true?

Recently, screens with IPS and VA panels have been coming thick and fast. Hallelujah! The latest member of this new monitor army is the Philips Brilliance 241P4QPYES.

Samsung combines the good bits of PVA and IPS to create this PLS monitor.

It's a TN panel, but what you don't expect at this price is a classy chassis and stand.

Affordable IPS panels are becoming more common, but this ViewSonic is still something special.

A huge 27-inch VA panel that's an awesome deal at this price. But we thirst for more pixels.

The BenQ RL2240H is a 22-inch TV screen with Full-HD for the gamer on a budget.

Extend you MacBook's display with this portable clip-on second monitor

Movies, games, PCs and TV. Can a single screen really display content for every count? That's the challenge for the Samsung T27A550 Series 5 LED HD TV monitor. It's a 27-inch beast with an integrated digital TV tuner and enough inputs to cope with everything from desktop PCs to games consoles and set-top boxes.

If only real life was in 3D, like on this PC monitor

We couldn't recommend this monitor as a frugal purchase, but if you did buy one we'd be jealous. Why? Because it's big, elegantly designed, slim, and boasts good picture quality. What the 3D lacks in effectiveness, it almost takes back in usability in comfort. Overall, it's a worthy addition to your desk.

Huge, and hugely convenient, but you could buy a MacBook Air for less...

The ViewSonic VX2753mh-LED is a great choice if you're looking for size on a budget

Will the IPS technology behind this panel help it differentiate itself from the TN hordes?

A simple way to enjoy your games in the third dimension

At 27-inches, the Iiyama Prolite B2712HDS is great for media playback and games alike

The AOC i2353FH will look great on your desk and offers fantastic value for money

If image quality is your main concern, the Eizo Foris FS2332 won't disappoint

Can a VA panel and an LED backlight improve on this classic model from BenQ?
