For about a year we've been working behind the scenes on our latest project, the TechSpot Product Finder, a comprehensive up-to-date catalog of tech products. We hope this becomes your next destination to make well-informed decisions when you go out shopping for your next laptop, SSD, monitor, digital camera, HTPC, tablet, or even your next media player.
Think of it as a Metacritic for computer enthusiasts, the Product Finder is divided in five main sections: Computer Hardware, Systems (PCs, Laptops, Tablets), Smartphones, Electronics, and PC Games.
 Cameras |
 Desktop PCs |
 Keyboards |
 Laptops |
 Motherboards |
 PC Games |
 Monitors |
 Printers |
 Smartphones |
 Storage |
 Tablets |
 Cases |
 Speakers |
 Power Supplies |
 Home Audio & Video |
 Processors |
 Routers |
 TVs |
 Mice |
 And More! |
We are opening the new section in beta form today, so you can take advantage of it right away. We have yet to write a FAQ explaining some of the internal processing and criteria we use, but for now two things to keep in mind:
1) We give products an average score based on all the reviews we can find for them across the web.
2) We apply a special algorithm to show you the hottest and freshest possible products in each category, so whenever you are looking for "the best camera" to buy, we can come up with answers right away by browsing the first page or two for that product category (*hint: also check out the data filters to narrow down your searches).
As with all beta launches, you may find some stuff is broken. We'll appreciate your help sending us feedback. Our intent is to keep improving the section in the coming weeks and integrate Product Finder data to all the things we do on TechSpot. Thanks again for your support and we hope you enjoy the new section --- see feature highlight screenshots after the jump.
Product Finder available from our main menu on top.

This is a great idea. I really like the score indicator for each product.
But this could be even better if there are:
product specs
more options for sorting (e.g. high to low scores, prices)

The only problem is of going off of user reviews is the price fluctuation. A low scored monitor in the past may now be 40% off making it a great deal. I'm sure techspot will figure something out. Personally I like opening up a bunch of pages with say monitors of similar prices and comparing specs. I like your pros n cons tid bits. You could also add a button that says "what to look for when selecting a monitor" if say someone is looking at a monitor page. I'm sure there is a plethora of guides out there that can be linked. That way people can more easily learn how to compare specs on there own if they choose.
mm i think ill be buying a monitor today, 169$ for this one, I cant find a better one for that price
