Two new monitors are up for review today with an eagerly-awaited 23-inch Nec monitor, complete with IPS panel, and a hybrid monitor from Philips.

With so many of our readers asking for a review of the Nec EA231wmi, we couldn’t refuse testing this sleek, professional-looking monitor. The IPS panel makes for wide viewing angles and it’s well equipped with VGA, DVI and DisplayPort connections, a four-port USB hub, and a pair of 2 x 1-watt speakers.

Following on from the 220TW9, Philips is back with the 221T1 - a new hybrid monitor that’s compatible with Full HD. On paper, it has everything it takes to give the Samsung P2370HD a good run for its money, including a huge range of connections, a digital TV tuner and an upscaling chip similar to those found in TVs.

The competition was tough, but only one monitor managed to get our five-star rating!
