I armed myself with the top rated models from various sites, including Amazon, before heading out to buy one. This LG model didn't show up in the top search, but I wanted to check it out as it was highly recommended by a family member. In the store, this one beat out all others in terms of the crispness of the display. I came home, set it up, and it worked beautifully except for two things. One, the recommended resolution is 1600x900 but I couldn't find how to change the maximum in Windows 7 (64-bit). Finally figured out that if you right click and go to 'Graphics Options', select 'Output To' then 'Extended Desktop' and 'Monitor + Notebook,' voilà problem solved. Just fyi in case others encounter similar challenges. The other is the 'Easy Set Package', which allows you to get dual web and cinema mode, but no matter how many times I tried to install it, it just doesn't seem to work. They seem like cool extra features, so I'll try again later, but the lack doesn't detract from the main function, which is crystal-clear display. Highly recommend LED vs. LCD, and this LG model does the job for me.

I am extremely happy with my choice

I do not regret it

This little screen is sharp and worth its value

I purchased this monitor in October 2010. So far it works good except for the fact that the blue power light quit working around December 2010. Also,the 4 little blue menu lights quit working at the same time. If I press on the plastic at the bottom of the screen the lights come on but go off again as soon as I take my finger away. It must be some kind of short or something.I just wonder what will quit working next. I just may buy another monitor eventualy. Probably a different brand.

I needed a new monitor that accepted HDMI because my tower is currently connected to A TV and would be connected to a monitor (this one) that is far away from it. Well I currently have a long HDMI cable, so it was one of the key selling points when I started looking for a new monitor that it have HDMI.

This monitor does not have an HDMI input.

Do you see the HDMI logo below the picture of the monitor above? Yeah I do too, which would lead you to believe that maybe, just maybe, the monitor has it. Well it doesn't so I guess I wait for a converter to ship to me, THANKS A LOT AMAZON.

PS my rating in no way reflects the quality of this product, but rather how crappy amazon is. In fact I can't speak to the quality of the monitor yet, because I can't even hook it up.
