    I'm wondering why hexus haven't reviewed a monitor since feb 2006

    As the title. I did a search and it seems that hexus haven't reviewed a monitor since this one: http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4537 Now, I think hexus do a good review and I'm looking to buy a new monitor soon, so I'd like to see some hexus monitor reviews.

    Yes they should do a round-up of say the current 22" LCD monitors, they are very popular at the moment. lots of people would be interested. In fact if they were to send me the monitors I could do it for them.

    A round-up of 24" monitors would be good, especailly as i want to get one

    As an example, is the Samsung SM244T worth twice as much as a SM245BW?

    just goin on specs the 245bw looks better.

    faster response, triple the contrast ratio.

    altho it does fall below on the brightness

    its probably all about the colour reproduction. If you look at the eizo monitors, most of their specs don't come close to the gaming ones, but you can bet your boots they will be better at photo editing, CAD, video productin etc.

    I'm leaning towards the Dell anyway. Steve B has one and it looks amazing! even compaired to my current 22".
