3.0 out of 5 stars Video review: Scratches easily, otherwise excellent, November 22, 2009

Length:: 3:07 Mins

This video will show you how easily scratched this monitor base is, as well as plastic on other areas of the monitor. I like the look of the monitor, but the base and sides scratch after the first cleaning, which is a major flaw, in my book. Otherwise, it's excellent.

The monitor is 16x9, which I enjoy, but it may not be as large as you expect because much of the measurement is from side-to-side. Compared to a 16x10 monitor in 23", this monitor will seem small (but wider). I've read on the net that 16x9 monitors may not be the best choice for gamers, depending on the games you like, so do your research.

There is one HDMI (sorry, I accidentally said HDMIs in the video review), one DVI and one VGA input. There are no speakers inside of this monitor. I've tried the DVI input, and it is far superior to the VGA input. Honestly, I wouldn't bother using the VGA input at all.

Other than how easily it scratches, and that it's a dust/hand/fingerprint magnet, I like this monitor. I removed 2 stars because a company like LG should know better than to sell a product that scratches and degrades so easily. Otherwise, gorgeous color, and is wide enough to put 2 word documents side-by-side. Great for school!

By the way, if you like the webcam at the top, it's a Microsoft VX-5000 lifecam. It looks great perched on this monitor, and provides and excellent quality image for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Monitor, June 28, 2009

Love how the buttons are touch sensitive, The 50k-1 ration is amazing, along with 2ms response time. The monitor is sleek and will go decor. The screen is very bright and has no bleeding of light on the edges. Was going get the 24 inch but the 23 inch was 80 dollars cheaper, I can't tell the difference. Definitely worth buying and a plus no dead pixels unlike our Sony 42 inch t.v. we bought a few months ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, and no dead pixels., August 18, 2009

I was originally looking at the LG 24" one but the LG 23" has a better pricing and the difference in size is not noticeable.

Very easy setup but there's no HDMI cable included but I used one from the older machine.

So far no problems and no bad pixel. The LG monitor is beautiful and very clear. Using Windows Update on Vista, it pickups the LG monitor on the patches optional part.
