The HP Photosmart A636 is an excellent at-home photo inkjet printer that's both versatile and easy to use.

The Bottom Line
With its offset neck and thin chassis, the BenQ V2400W presents a unique look. In addition to the sleek design, its low price and strong performance earn this 24-inch LCD our recommendation for home or office use.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz, 0.27 mm, 2 ms
The Bottom Line
Its video connections and viewing angles are limited, but the V7 D24W33 is about the cheapest 24-inch LCD monitor you'll find and proved itself to be a solid overall performer.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet
The Bottom Line
The Kodak ESP5 is an attractive full color all-in-one printer, scanner, and copier, and casual photo enthusiasts will be happy with the watered-down editing software, but hard-core users should look elsewhere for a multifunction printer. The ESP5 is too expensive and suffers from too many mechanical deficiencies for us to give it our CNET stamp of approval.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved.

Specs:
Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB
The Bottom Line
The Canon Selphy CP760 takes the pain out of printing photos with its plug-and-play design and straightforward usability, and the $100 price tag makes it an excellent companion printer for quick prints in the home.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

$169.22
Specs:
Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared, Direct print USB
The Bottom Line
The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the wireless accessories aren't included. If you're shopping for a convenient travel-friendly printer, check out the Canon Selphy CP760 that offers the exact same technology with a similar style for a better price.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company.

The Bottom Line
With so many other inexpensive photo inkjets on the market today, we can't recommend the Lexmark z2420--it's prone to paper jams, prints at a snail's pace, and produces unacceptable quality prints.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 2 ms
The Bottom Line
The Samsung T220 might be the most stylish LCD monitor we've seen, but average feature set and performance diminish its overall appeal. Despite its flashy looks, it's best used as a simple, productivity display.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 5 ms
The Bottom Line
The 22-inch Envision G2219w1 performed well in movie playback, games, and normal office use. Its color reproduction leaves something to be desired, however, and while it is aggressively priced, we'd recommend shelling out a bit more for a 22-inch LCD from Dell.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company.

Specs:
Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 2400 dpi, None
The Bottom Line
The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 30 in - Widescreen, 2560 x 1600 / 60 Hz, 0.2505 mm, 8 ms
The Bottom Line
If you're willing to pay the price for beautiful looks and loads of connection options in a 30-inch LCD monitor, you'll like what you get with the Dell 3008WFP. You may be less enthused with this display, however, after experiencing its lackluster color performance and low black levels when watching movies.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company.

The Bottom Line
The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company.

Specs:
Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, Wired, Wireless, 20 pages/min, 14 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared
The Bottom Line
It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 dpi
The Bottom Line
The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a $200 printer. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved.

Specs:
Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet
The Bottom Line
The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.© 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. All rights reserved. Used by permission.
