Gigabyte M32U monitor review: 4K gaming without the fluff

The Gigabyte M32U sits in a class of its own with a 32-inch 4K panel capable of 144Hz. Screen size isn't everything when it comes to gaming displays, though.

Dell Ultrasharp 49 review

Samsung’s ultrawide CHG90 opened the door for massive monitors last year, and now Dell is stepping through that door with its own gigantic screen. Dell’s Ultrasharp 49 looks similar to the Samsung at a glance, but it’s for a different audience. Our Ultrasharp 49 review breaks down the differences.

Alienware AW341BDW Utrawide Gaming Monitor

Alienware AW3418DW Curved Gaming Monitor review

Don’t underestimate the understated appeal of Alienware’s 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor. Although this monitor doesn’t pack aggressive gaming aesthetics, it’s refined looks and balanced performance makes it a winner. The curved 34-inch panel, WQHD resolution display, and fast refresh rates will keep gamers happy.
Dell P2715Q front angle

Dell P2715Q review

Dell's P2715Q was its first real effort at crafting a modern 4K display and it worked wonders. We thought it looked fantastic when it was first released and it still looks good today. The drab bezels and frame didn't look great at launch and they haven't aged well, but in the competitive 4K space, this monitor still holds up.
Alienware 55 review

Alienware 55 OLED monitor hands-on review

OLED has long alluded gaming monitors. But no longer. The Alienware 55 OLED Monitor matches the incredible visuals of OLED with variable refresh rates up to 120Hz. The best part? It’s not just a concept -- it’s a real product coming to a living room near you.

Lenovo L215P Review

A handful of forgettable extras don't really justify the premium this monitor demands.

Gateway FPD2485W Review

The Gateway is the latest company to jump on the 24” monitor bandwagon with the FPD2485W. With so many companies offering 24” LCD solutions, how does Gateway make their mark?

HP w22 Review

The HP w22 is a big dissapointment coming from HP, and hopefully is not a sign of things to come from their monitor division.

HP w2408 Review

The w2408 has impressive technical specs, a 4-port USB 2.0 hub and costs a very reasonable $600 USD.

Asus VW266H Review

A blend of size, screen quality and features topped with a reasonable price make the VW266H a gem.

Samsung CF791 ultrawide curved gaming monitor review

With features like quantum dots, a massive 1440p display, and a deep curve, the Samsung CF791 aims to impress. Getting a price cut down to $750, this ultrawide monitor is an even sweeter deal. But even with a discount, it's an expensive monitor to invest in. Is it really worth it?

HP L2045w Review

The HP L2045w business class monitor offers 20-inches of widescreen goodness and a beautiful picture. Why did they leave the DVI cable out though?

Acer Nitro XZ272U review: All you need for PC gaming

Acer's XZ272U is a 27-inch QHD monitor that's likely to please a great audience, and while it has a couple drawbacks, none of them are deal-breakers at $300.

HP 34f monitor

HP 34f ultrawide monitor review: Premium for less

Large, curved screens have been a feature of high-end displays, but HP's 34f proves you can get a premium experience at an affordable price. This monitor is a great option for shoppers looking for a vibrant screen for work or home use.
hp 27f 4k monitor review 3

HP 27f 4K monitor review: Crisp images without the niceties

These days, 4K monitors keep getting more affordable, but some make that possible via significant compromises. The 2019 refresh of the HP 27f 4K offers some decent image quality to back up its resolution, but it's missing a few key features that hold it back from greatness.

The $730 Philips 180B2 flat panel adds another apt competitor for increasing your viewing area while minimizing your monitor's footprint. Read on to see how it stacks up.

Samsung SyncMaster 171N Review

Howard Chui gets a chance to review Samsung's entry level 171n 17" LCD display with a street price of around $499 dollars. The 171n offers a few surprises and a good overall design.

Sony SDM-HS73 Review

What sets the SDM-HS73 apart from the rest of the LCD's in the same price range is the infamous Sony Style design which makes the SDM-HS73 great to look at in any room of the house.

Philips 180MT Review

The Philips 180MT not only acts as a monitor, but can be your TV as well. Not recommended for the gamer, but this stylish LCD display will certainly perform while looking great in the home or office.

Samsung 192T Review

There is a new bad boy in town and he means business. Samsung's new 192T 19" LCD monitor not only looks great on-screen, but has a physical prowess that screams out to us.

Samsung Syncmaster 173T Review

The 173T is Samsung's new replacement for last year's 172T model; and while they may look nearly identical at first glance, there have been some subtle changes to this year's 173T.

Gateway FPD1930 Review

Gateway's FPD1930 19-inch LCD monitor offers both VGA and DVI inputs so you can hook up two systems to the same monitor. But before you run out to the store, read our review first. Please.

Samsung SyncMaster 173P Review

Samsung took a page out of Apple's book with the eye-catching minimalistic design of the good looking, top performing SyncMaster 173P.

HP L2335 Review

HP's L2335 LCD flat-panel display could be the new LCD king. With a 16ms response rate and a 1900x1200 resolution, harcore gamers and designers have something to save up for.

HP F2105 Review

If you are even remotely considering the purchase of a new monitor, then do yourself a favor and check out the F2105. This LCD may convince you to part ways with your money.

Senior Editor, Computing

Luke Larsen is a Senior Editor at Digital Trends and manages all content covering laptops, Macs, monitors, PC hardware, and peripherals. Around here we call it “computing,” but here’s a good rule of thumb: If it’s a computer or something that plugs into a computer, you found your guy. Oh, and these days, AI too. So much AI.

After getting a degree in music from the University of Oregon, Luke started his career in media hoping to get into music journalism. But when the opportunity arose, he landed in tech and hasn’t looked back since. He has over a decade of tech journalism experience, first joining Digital Trends in 2017 as a native Portlander, happy to join a tech media company that called his city home. Before working at DT, he worked as Tech Editor at Paste Magazine for over four years and has bylines at publications such as IGN, TouchArcade (RIP), and The Oregonian.

In his years at Digital Trends so far, Luke has covered high-profile industry events such as CES, IFA, and Microsoft Build, delivering on-the-ground coverage, breaking news, and first-hand reporting. He’s hosted countless YouTube videos, made podcast appearances, and written over 600 articles.

Some of his earliest tech memories include learning HTML through his MySpace account and trying to play Baldur’s Gate II on his parents’ dusty old beige box. These days, his obsession with technology is in telling stories with tech — in finding the narratives that ebb and flow through both technological advancement and product design, trickling right on down to our day-to-day experience of it. He is convinced that we all spend too much of our time using technology and not enough time thinking about it — cue a healthy dose of navel-gazing and philosophizing.

When he’s not endlessly debating what the best laptop is, Luke spends his days being a dad and a husband. Oh, and when there’s time (which there isn’t), he’s an avid fiction writer, player of designer board games, and still occasionally makes some music.
