Mini Mouse (La Grange, Tejas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LG E2290V-SN 21.5-Inch Premium Super Slim Widescreen LED LCD Monitor - Metal (Personal Computers)

I recently needed to upgrade my iMac. I was putting it off because the new generation of black glass and aluminum iMacs leave me cold. I just do not like their style. So I opted for a Mac Mini and originally thought I would put it on my TV. Well, that didn't really work. I couldn't see text. So off I was to find a monitor for my new mini.

I knew right away I didn't want an Apple monitor, once again because of the design. I originally looked at the Samsung monitors because my living room TV, surround sound, and Blu ray player are all the Samsung with TOC in red. But when I stumbled across this LG monitor, I fell in love. It is simply stunning.

I have had it a couple of weeks now and still love the looks of it. It is so slim and elegant. I have it out in my living room on display and it doesn't bother me. If it were anything less, I would have put it at the desk in the utility room to keep it out of sight.

Function wise, it does everything I need. The picture quality is wonderful. It swivels to adjust the viewing angle. And the black border around the screen is very discreet. Just a fantastic all around monitor.

This review is from: LG E2290V-SN 21.5-Inch Premium Super Slim Widescreen LED LCD Monitor - Metal (Personal Computers)

If you're the kind of person who doesn't want to pay a premium for style, then you might find this monitor a tad expensive. There are many others with the same features, resolution, and image quality for $100 less than what I paid ($269.99). That said, it truly is beautiful, powered on or off. Personally, I like style a lot, but even so, I find it a little expensive. But I got it and don't regret it. This thing is right out of a design school (and in fact it probably is).

I would like one feature that it doesn't have: the ability to raise/lower the screen in addition to tilt forward/back. But as it's at a fairly comfortable height on my desk, this fortunately isn't a problem.

One other very minor nit: the touch-sensitive on/off switch, located on the top right corner of the base, is a bit too easy to touch accidentally. I'll have to get in the habit of keeping my paws (and those of my cats - no kidding!) away from that spot.

Otherwise, this is a very nice monitor and a thing of beauty. It would be right at home in the most luxurious office.

Nice job, LG.

I would ordinarily take away a star for the high price and the minor complaints. But the price could change for another buyer, so I figure my review will just cover the product without regard to the price. If I run into any technical problems, I might come back and lower my rating. I do plan to calibrate it with a colorimeter for graphics work, and if that presents any problems, I'll come back and report on that.
-------------
Update:

I calibrated the display with a Spyder 3 Pro colorimeter, and it calibrated perfectly and really looks great. But this surfaced another minor nit: the out-of-the-box settings are quite far from accurate color (as are many displays, though not all - this is so that they make your eyes pop in a showroom environment). I could tell that was the case when I turned it on for the first time, and fooled around with the settings to get it closer to what I wanted, but you unfortunately still need an actual calibration to get correct color. The expert-mode calibration sequence on a Mac will get you to usable settings, though, without spending the money on a colorimeter.

This monitor not only looks super cool with its super slim appearance, but the widescreen picture is also pretty good for a LED/LCD.
