They did not have both on display at my local Best Buy, so I didn't know. There are two models, one has a G (glare) and the other doesn't. It's STILL a fantastic product! I definitely recommend this monitor to anyone who is looking for a less-expensive but still a high-quality product.įirst and foremost, becareful of the model number differences. Maybe a polycarbonate shell or maybe even metal.but PLASTIC? Come on, LG!īut for the minor gripes I do have, the benefits still far outweigh the shortcomings. The HP monitor allowed me to do that this one does not.Īnd as for the quality of the stand, I think that they could do much better. I'm used to tucking my keyboard under the monitor when I use my laptop, but I can't do that anymore with this particular screen. The one thing that I didn't like about it was the cheap-looking plastic base it sits on. It is FANTASTIC for moving images! The enormous contrast ratio is another big plus for this monitor, as I also do a fair amount of photo and video editing. I do use the HDMI output for my X-360 when I'm playing games on it, and the response time (2ms) is utterly indescribable. When I first saw this in store, I honestly was surprised not only at the low price they were selling for, but the number of hook-ups and features that it offered for that price. The screen was nice enough as it was, having a gracious amount of screen real estate, but I needed a higher resolution so I could make better use of a number of programs that I use on a daily basis. (They even moved the entire monitor display around for me just so I could compare two of them side by side!)Īfter having used a 22' HP w2207 monitor for about two years, I figured that it was time for an upgrade. I also recommend you buy it from Best Buy, the service is incredible. If your in need for a big, high quality widescreen monitor (and to clarify it is pretty wide) for under $250, you've found it. Otherwise, the picture is brilliant, and I'm not even using it in full 1080p! As for the menus, In my opinion they are simple and quick to use.

I also like the power button sensor, it's pretty neat. Assembling the monitor was easy, just unwrap everything, connect the cables, and attach the stand.

It's stable enough to hold the monitor, but if I bump my desk or keyboard it will shake.

The design is great, and some of my friends have actually mistaken it for a HDTV. I can fit 4 windows at once on the screen. Out of the box, it had no dead pixels, ghosting issues, or backlight bleed.Īfter stepping up from that old 17', this thing is MASSIVE. Though I heard good things about LG products, I never expected to buy this one. I did some reading through reviews, articles, statistics, and user feedback for months before finally deciding which one was best. After using a 17' CRT for years I figured that I could use a new monitor.
