Prices of LCD monitors have been steadily crashing. Sizes such as 20" and 22" are rapidly approaching mass-market status and this has resulted in full-HD monitors (24" and above) becoming affordable. These 24" inch monitors are not only full-HD compliant but also offer significantly more working area. Another market that such monitors have found surprising success in is next-gen consoles. Full-HD monitors come at a fraction of the price of a comparable TV that would normally be required to enjoy these consoles' native resolution.

Keeping in mind that Blu-ray has now effectively won the HD war and that prices for these drives are already dropping below the 10K mark, we decided to shop around for three 24-inch monitors that can be had for a relatively low price. Here's what we found:

If you’re an N95 8GB user and often wondered why Nokia left out an auto screen rotate feature, worry no more. A new application has been created just for you. With the new firmware update (v20.0.016) users will find that just like in the Nokia N82, the N95’s screen can now rotate to landscape mode automatically when tilted. You won’t need to open the media keypad anymore to switch to landscape. All thanks to an accelerometer that drives the application, as in the N82.
