Under 20 (inches) not admitted: jumbo LCDs
Long days of staring at a small monitor can fry your eyes. With prices starting at $1,000, jumbo LCDs offer a bevy of benefits, including massive screen space, 1,600x1,200 resolution, and superior adjustability.

Review summary Planar's pricey PX212M delivers solid image quality and a useful array of multimedia and connectivity options to users who need a large display. This high-end LCD gets an A for design, features, and adjustability, but its image quality falls a smidge short for the price. Sony's SDM-S204 suffers from a lack of features and middling performance, making other, less expensive displays a better value. HP's L2035 delivers good image quality and video connectivity in a stylish, highly adjustable, moderately priced package. This LCD is great for Power Mac G4 owners and publishing professionals, but consumers can save several hundred dollars on the older 17-inch Apple Studio Display. For this price, an LCD should give you the best of everything, but the Sharp LL-T2020B falls short on image quality.
