You won't find this much expert information anywhere else, so go online to check out our feature package and see which display is right for you. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1028-4-4-252229-94304-1 ============================================================ Editors' Choice: Apple's Xcellent Server System For mixed-OS environments, nothing tops Apple's Xserve G5 and Xserve RAID for power, usability, security, or even lack of noise. Setting up and servicing the server is a cinch, and the unlimited-license version of Mac OS X 10.3 that comes installed is a major perk. Utilizing a Mac platform will automatically make you less susceptible to virus attacks. And not that it matters as much, but the Xserve sports Apple's trademark sleek design, too.

The original incarnation of the zd7000 won our Editors' Choice award; this latest version has an improved display, upgraded graphics chipset, and plenty of new features. Read our online exclusive and check out the specs and benchmark test scores.

Want proof? The Concord Eye-Q 5062AF is a 5-megapixel camera for $229, but it's still not worth the price. Not only is it terribly slow, the image-resolution scores matched up better with a 2-megapixel sensor. If a deal sounds too good to be true, maybe it is. Read our online review and find out what to look for in a 5-megapixel camera.
