4.0 out of 5 stars Plug & Play (View) on a PowerMac G4, August 18, 2008

This review is from: LG W2600H 26-Inch Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

This monitor works flawlessly when fed from the DVI-D connection on the back of the monitor to a Macintosh Computer(PM G4 2x1.25Ghz Mirror Doors) through the Mac's DVI-I port. Many lcd monitor specs show the Mac being connected via the VGA port, and I'm sure that would work, but the DVI connection works on this LG W2600H without any additional drivers or software downloads.

Pros:
Eye-popping contrast and color after calibration.
(Calibration is in the Systems Preference/Display area.)
Plug & View convenience.

Cons:
You will need a $20-$30 cable to connect via DVI-D (Not Included)
The Mac CPU and Monitor will not work as one for power on/off like an Apple monitor (ADC) did.

Did I mention this monitor is huge, but the picture is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bought 2 LG monitors: one for home, one for work, August 13, 2008

I also bought an LG W2600 monitor from BestBuy (Aug.2008) and it worked fine, so week later bought another one for work, because i use my Mac Powerbook at both locations. Since then i noticed a slight defect: the LG W2600 is slightly brighter at the bottom of the screen than at the top. Oddly, i have read a review of the Samsung 26" and the person stated a similar defect: "color variation". Other than the slight brightness variation it is a sharp and good looking screen and i will probably keep using them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Monitor for the Price, January 16, 2009

This review is from: LG W2600H 26-Inch Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I was very impressed with the quality of the monitor considering the price. Yes as others have commented, the menu items on the front of the monitor cannnot be seen well and are difficult to use, but right out of the box the monitor worked perfectly. However, the CD that was included with the purchase did not work and I had to go online to LG to obtain the drivers for the monitor as well as the manual. I was happy with the purchase and the color and contrast were very good without any adjustments. I consider this a good buy for me.
