Top positive review

Great monitor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2010

For the price, this monitor is an absolute bargain for those looking for a gaming/multimedia screen.

It is actually 21.5", however for my needs I see this as a bonus due to it's full HD resolution makes the pixels very small - great for those looking for smooth visuals even without antialiasing cranked up. You'll be pleased to know that it shows 1280x720 well too, infact even my sensitive eyesight has been struggling to notice it when AA is on x16Q.

Backlight bleeding is unnoticable from a comfortable viewing distance when displaying black, and colours needed no changing - however I did have to turn the brightness and contrast down somewhat.

From my personal experience (4 LG screens) 2 have had dead pixels. I'm sure this is just unlucky on my part, but make sure you check your screen (use a program that can display bright colours full screen) for any dead or lazy pixels.

Good option for the budget

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2010

Verified Purchase

Pretty good deal - well worth the few £'s I'd spent above other options and well below the average for a monitor this size with HDMi options.

Only problem I have had with this is a susceptability to other devices in the room (fridge and freezer) - when their motors click on the screen temporarily shuts down for a second. I suspect the HDMi cable I'm using may not be properly shielded and as I'm the only one noticing this (looking at other reviews) I feel pretty confident mine is an isolated problem.

Someone else had mentioned a buzzing noise but I have had no such issue.

Well worth the purchase.

A very good wide screen monitor. DVI / HDMI input. Picture quality is v. good.
no problems so far. It would be good if they had integrated speakers on the monitor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2017

Bought elsewhere a few years back to use as a monitor and to run the sound from my PS3 through to the monitor. Was fine while it lasted, which wasn't very long.

Reason it gets one star is the useless soft power touch switch. It failed and eventually no longer turned on. No worries, I'll open it up and check if a cap has popped. Much like I did with my much older Samsung monitor. I repaired that nice and easy, but oh no LG, the fools that they are, want you to just dump it and buy a new one. So they force you to pop the bezel off before you get to the two screws that hold the back on. However, in attempting to get the bezel off, it's quite possible to kill the screen anyway (which I did). Should it get one star for my mistake? Yes. Why? Because in this day and age we should be recycling, yet LG are purposely making this a nightmare to repair.

So I'm here, on my old Samsung that all I had to do was replace the caps and it was easy to get into. Will be avoiding LG ever since.

Outstanding

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2010

I needed a screen for gaming and fancied a monitor over a TV since its neater, easier to move about and I really didnt need a TV. I did some research, read reviews, searched the internet and compared monitors and TV's that are compatible with games and came to the conclusion that this was the best for gaming and with HDMI graphics!

I simply cannot fault the monitor and agree with anyone who values this as a 5 STAR product. Everything about it is great, graphics incredible, construction is stable and tidy, screen size is perfect for all ages to work with and its easy to setup.

This is a monitor and therefore has no sound. Because of this, the monitor has an audio port (headphones) port, on the back which allows you to plug your surround sound speakers in and its fantastic to play games/films on a tidy crisp screen. There are function buttons at the side of the monitor that al;low you to adjust volume levels, brightness and the other usual options.

To turn the monitor on...there no button..what the hell? ive never in my life seen a more fancy and unique way of turning a monitor on. The instructions show you how but me being me i didnt read them and had to work it out. There is a transparant strip with a nice red line running along the bottom of the monitor with a drip like feature on the right hand side. you simply touch the drip and HEY BINGO the monitor comes to life. To turn off, again, touch the drip.

By far the best gadget ive bought this year alongside my PS3. No faults and even being a strict reviewer i value this product 10/10
