It's been a long time coming. But things are finally starting to get interesting in the affordable monitor market. For the past 18 months or so, the sweet spot in terms of price and performance has been the 22-inch widescreen segment. However, despite the illusion of choice generated by the huge number of models on offer, nearly every 22-inch display has essentially been the same.

All were based on cheap TN panels with the same 1,680 x 1,050 pixel native resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. OK, some were slightly superior to others. Prices have taken quite a tumble during that time frame, too. But the reality in terms of image quality has been varying degrees of mediocrity.

And technologically speaking, it's been a largely stagnant period.
