In our first LCD round-up of the year, we put four monitors thorough our benchmark suite and find some surprising results. Even if you're an enthusiast with cash to spare, paying more doesn't guarantee a better display. Our tests explain why.

Power Consumption

There's hardly any difference in power consumption between our four 23" LCDs, though, it’s worth mentioning that LG’s IPS236V consumes about 5 W more than the S231HL Bid, S2330MX, and S23A550H. This is consistent with what we've seen from past round-ups, where IPS-based monitors tend to be less energy efficient.
