What Happened to Tom's Excellent Monitor Reviews?

Xbitlabs does testing on LCD monitors. They actually do a much better job on the response time test. Tomshardware's response time tests are actually missing a lot of information, and are thus not very accurate.

I wouldn't rely too much on Tom's; well maybe for LCDs, but everything else on tomshardware has pretty much gone downhill since Tom left. Maybe just the best solution is to lookup the panel type of the monitor and pick the one you like best.

Anandtech was what I used for a long time after Tomshardware; they were very good for CPU, Video, and sometimes memory. Sadly, CPU speeds have been kinda stagnant in the last few years and I haven't really paid much attention to review sites like I used to -- that and I'm not looking for a CPU or Video card right now.

Best option. If you want to buy key components like CPU, Video, or RAM, check out some of the major review sites. From your comments, I think you'll be able to tell which sites are doing a good job and which aren't. Here's a few to try:
http://anandtech.com/
http://xbitlabs.com/
http://hardocp.com/
http://guru3d.com/
http://techreport.com
http://hothardware.com/) {sourcefor last two sites}
Arstechnica and Ace's Hardware might also be 2 others.

If you are looking for quality reviews on other items, you can try those sites and look around the net for others (avoid Cnet reviews as much as possible).

For silent components, try out silentpcreview.com (and the forums there)
For hard drives, try storagereview.com
For digital cameras, try dpreview.com
For LCD panels, well no source has everything that we really need to decide. Xbitlabs.com does have fairly good response time testing on some monitors, but that's only a few monitors and only one aspect in making a decision.

Agreed on the Cnet reviews and posts. I can't help but laugh when I see "reviews" for products that won't be released for months.
I also love the never ended Apple vs PC fanboi wars going on there. I can't tell you how many Dell/HP reviews have been ruined by Apple fans being mad that a PC outperform their mac in a game test.

Take this as an example:
So called review of the Dell XPS H2C 710
He posted a review of an XPS 410

Well, anyway, any of the sites Kevin listed should be helpful and yes I think Tom's has gotten a little lax.
