REVIEW – AOC I2481FXH and I2781FH – IPS minimalism

REVIEW – Acer Z35 with curved 200Hz G-SYNC VA panel

REVIEW – Acer Z35 with curved 200Hz G-SYNC VA panel

One particular monitor that has drummed up a lot of interest and sparked a bit of debate is the BenQ XR3501.

REVIEW – Samsung S24E650C and S27E650C

REVIEW – Samsung S24E650C and S27E650C

Samsung really are keen to get users to adopt curved screens for their computers, be it on their home or office desk. From our experience with their curved 34” UltraWide model, the curve is certainly a welcome (albeit subtle) addition.
