Sites for Monitor reviews

[Scott_Arm]

What are some really good sites to find up-to-date reviews on computer monitors? I checked tomshardware, but I find they don't keep right up to date anymore.

BeHardware is the only site I've found with even decent and sorta recent monitor reviews. Otherwise I can't find anything, I had to rely mostly on forums to pick out a monitor myself, and then lots of in store testing which is BY FAR the most important factor in my monitor experience.

Thanks. I just need a good starting point. I'm looking for something like a 22 or 23" widescreen LCD, but I find a lot of manufacturers will have a variety of models that fit that description and it's hard to determine what the differences are.

In french there's www.lesnumeriques.com
I think it's the best site about screen on the web, prolly worth using some translation tool to get infos from.

Are there any good widescreen monitors that accept a component input? I'd like the option of hooking it up to my Wii, but in that case would I be better off with an HDTV?

Dell's 2407 off the top of my head.

I have a Gateway 22" that I love to freaking death. They're replaced my model with an updated one that is just as good, and actually has a much more up to date input selection. The new one has DVI, VGA, Component and HDMI inputs. These monitors also have Picture-in-Picture and several other features that make them very adept at being monitor/TV hybrids. I can't tell you how impressed I am with these monitor, both my original model and the new one. If you live in the US then you should be able to head to Best Buy and check it out for yourself. The only negatives I have for it is that it's a bit more expensive then other 22" (but many more features and inputs), the touch sensititive controls take a bit get used to be I'm awesome with them now, and it doesn't include DVI cable (at least the original model) in the package.

If you are hooking up the Wii the only "real" option IMO is the Gateway 30" screen with the HQV processor.

Standard definition sources on all Dells, Samsungs, and HP LCD's have been quite crappy to say the least.

Then again, for the price of the Gateway 30" screen you can get a nice Sharp Aquos in a 46" size.

If you plan on using it for computer use only though I'd suggest the Gateway even with some of it's flaws. It's still the superior choice when viewing non-native resolution sources.

If you aren't then a nice dedicated LCD or Plasma TV would be a better choice.
