Hewlett-Packard LP2065
The HP LP2065 is highly affordable for a 20.1-inch LCD. And it's optimized for everyday work at government agencies'it offers the best text display we tested by far.
EPI AOC 193P+
The AOC 193P+ is a 19-inch monitor designed to fit comfortably into a tight space. It's one of two monitors in this review with a thin, wire-frame-type stand (the TBD is the other). However, the 193P+ goes beyond the normal design by putting a pivot point where the monitor pole intersects with the base.
NEC MultiSync LCD2070WNX
The 20.1-inch MultiSync LCD2070WNX is a widescreen panel with a native resolution of 1,680 by 1,050. For such a large-format display, the government price of $435 seems like a steal. However, in real-world conditions it doesn't particularly stand out from other LCDs we reviewed.
NEC MultiSync LCD2190UXi
Sometimes, you get what you pay for, which is a good thing if you're talking about an LCD that costs the government $1,441. The 21.3-inch MultiSync LCD2190UXi is one of the largest 4:3 ratio LCDs in this review, which makes its image quality even more impressive.
ViewSonic VG2021m
When we unpacked the 20-inch VG2021m, it became our early favorite. Unlike the purely functional designs of other monitors, this LCD has a bit of an artistic flair with a black frame melted into a silvery base.
ViewSonic VP2030b
For just $625, the VP2030b packs a lot of high-end features and quality into a 20.1-inch display. <font color="CC0000">|GCN Lab</font> Reviewer's Choice|</font></b>
