We're starting the four-day week with a pair of monitors that have plenty of potential: one is a low-cost option from Medion, while the other is a new member of the small--but growing--club of 120 Hz monitors, this time from LG.

The LG Flatron W2363D is the latest 120 Hz monitor we've tested, and until now, every new iteration of this technology has brought a slight improvement that pushed the previous generation back a little.  Does that mean LG can beat the last contender, Acer's GD245HQ?

Medion has remained more conservative with its Akoya P56005--or so it would seem from the specs in any case.  This is a 25'' TN display with a 2 ms response time and a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, something that's increasingly rare.  It comes with VGA, DVI and HDMI, and if it lives up its promises, will be excellent value for money.
