5.0 out of 5 stars Fully Competent Monitor, July 10, 2009

This review is from: LG W2253TQ-PF 22-Inch Class Widescreen LCD Monitor (Gloss Black) (Personal Computers)

Ever since upgrading my motherboard (AMD 5600+) and video card (Nvidia GeForce 8600), I've been thinking about getting a new widescreen monitor to replace an old 17" Samsung SyncMaster 713v. This became even more important when I started editing HD video and digital photographs. Then two weeks ago I picked up an LG GGW-H20L, a combo Blu-ray writer/HD DVD-ROM drive. I had to upgrade my monitor. I wanted a slightly larger display but, more importantly, one with full 1920x1080 HD resolution. Since this is a desktop monitor, I was looking for something 20-22".

This monitor has a simple base which pivots up and down a few degrees. It has an analog VGA input and a digital DVI input and comes with a VGA cable but no DVI cable. Both inputs work well with the 8600 but I've set the analog to a TV switch box. The controls are neat--touch sensitive with an option to light up the controls when your finger approaches. The only bad part is it is difficult to read the labels. Some of the options are good: 1 or 2 hour reminder, color temperature, and separate RGB controls. Some are not too useful: Auto Bright, Photo Effects, and Gaussian Blur.

For the actual monitor performance, I have to say it is excellent for the price. I've watched parts of Blu-ray and HD DVD movies, edited and viewed some HD movie material, and did some photo editing. The monitor performed admirably with all these. Finally, I calibrated the monitor using Spyder2PRO and the default levels were a bit off. The calibrated image is outstanding!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great monitor but no HDMI, August 20, 2009

I bought this monitor knowing that it would do full 1080p resolution but didn't realize until i got the monitor and realized it didn't have an HDMI input only DVI. Isn't much of an issue but i had to find an extra DVI cable since i didn't have one laying around like i did with the HDMI. I can't figure out how to get the FORTE manager to work to set user preferences i'm not sure why this is the case. Other than that i haven't been disappointed with its performance

Great LCD monitor. No bad pixels found. My only complaint about this "High Definition" 1080p monitor is that it doesn't come with a DVI or HDMI cable. It only comes with a standard VGA cable which of course makes this an "analog" monitor.
