LG W2286L 22-Inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor (Gloss Black) Review

This is an incredible buy.

It is very easy to setup and has software for changing the monitor settings if you choose vs. using the buttons on the front panel.

The resolution and contrast is awesome, and with a 2ms refresh rate it is perfect for gaming, movies, videos, etc..

It has jacks for VGA, DVI, and HDMI and can be swtiched between them at the touch of a button, so you can have multiple devices attached to it and just change between them. It also comes with VGA, and DVI cables.

On top of all of this, it is an LED monitor so the power usage is much less than other LCD monitors.

This is such a great price for such a beautiful monitor.

LG L227WTG 22-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

I did not buy this monitor from Amazon, but I still wanted to give a short review.I bought this after looking over many monitors in person.This one looked the best to me.Then, I went home and researched a bit.

The LG L227WTG uses twisted nematic (TN) panel technology.This is and older and cheaper type of LCD. However, TN panels are by far the most common for 22 inch and smaller displays.The major downside to TN panels is their limited viewing angles.Honestly, it doesn't really bother me, at all.Really, unless you don't sit in front of your monitor for some reason, this shouldn't be a problem with this display.

The major upside to TN type displays, and what I was particularly looking for, is that they have virtually no input lag.I'm not talking response time.Response time is tested with a couple of different methods, but it is basically a measure of how fast an image can refresh on screen.Pretty much all decent monitors have sufficient response time.Input lag, however, is a different story.Input lag, simply put, is a delay that occurs after the video input arrives to your monitor and when it is displayed.I'm no expert, but I believe it is due to some sort of processing the monitor does to the image.Unfortunately, many larger LCDs using newer technologies suffer from this problem.So, if you are a gamer and rely upon a timely display of what your computer sends to your monitor, you might want to go with a TN.

Actual image quality on this monitor is very good, and outstanding for a TN display.When I decided to shop for a monitor, I went to look first before doing any research.I wanted to be as unbiased as possible.This monitor was my favorite 22 inch model, and looked as good to me as most 24 inch models.The colors are vibrant, the blacks are dark, and most images have a very crisp appearance.Textures are displayed with a great deal of fidelity; I swear I want to reach into the screen and grab what's on the monitor sometimes.

I believe much of the good picture quality is due in part to the glossy surface this monitor has.Again, I'm not sure how this technically works, but this panel, along with some of the other glossier ones (like the HP 2207) just looked much better to me.Of course, there is the downside of reflections being seen.If you have a particularly bright room with a window behind you, you might not want this monitor.For me, I have a window at a 90° angle to the monitor across the room (roughly 8 ft away).I usually have the blinds partially closed, but just as a test, I completely rolled up the blinds in the middle of the afternoon.Even with this level of brightness, the monitor was still very usable.But, like I said, if reflections happen to bother you a lot, you might want to look elsewhere.Since I personally am not bothered in the least by this, I won't dock a star because of this.

Brags:Great monitor for gaming (no input lag) - Very nice image quality (vibrant crisp display and realistic textures)

Beats:None.

Variance:Only minor thing I did not mention above, the native resolution is 1680x1050.This is standard for 22 inch monitors but sadly not quite enough to display 1080p content.I haven't watched any HD movies (due to lack of a player) so I can't say how they would look.But, I can say that 1680x1050 images are VERY detailed, and I would guess that a downscaled 1080p image would still look great.

LG M237WD-PM 23-Inch Class Widescreen Multi-Function LCD Monitor/TV (Gloss Black) Review

I purchased this item and delivery was fast from California... The items box is very small and well packaged. I save all my item boxes for at least a year, in case I need to sell or ship an item back.

I read the 4 previous reviews that were here prior to purchasing this item, so I knew its faults like weak speaker output. But I wanted the item for my bedroom TV viewing (where i use low volume or headphones), and also to use it as a Computer Monitor for my 2nd desktop computer. This way I can switch from the HDTV over to the monitor (at HD quality 1920x1200 coming from a connected HD4770 -HD quality computer video card), then connect to HULU online and catch up on my missed TV episodes, or scan the web, or play video games. This thing is just great. I've got another HDTV in the living room and the ATSC tuner in this thing picks up more channels that any other HD tuner that I used, whether it be in an HDTV or an HD tuner card for the computer (both internal & external - and I've went through about all of them).

The main thing for me is picture quality... and this thing has it. It is just GREAT! It blows away my other HD set in the living room. Also the specs were not really covered properly by either amazon or the manufacture on its website. It says it only has an ATSC tuner, but it has 3 tuners. It will collect HD, QAM, and NTSC, but it only has 1 catv input (that's always the trouble with these things, never enough of something). I guess you could connect this thing into a dual-tuner system, like a TIVO HD tuner and have it made. But it does have a lot of other connections on the rear for inputs, and I manage with that.

When I go in to edit/delete TV channel, there are 4 sections for channels, so it must have 4 tuners: DTV (ATSC), CADTV (cable HD(higher QAM), CATV (cable, original (QAM), TV (NTSC).

One thing about the remote, is there are not a lot of options on it. I like what my other hdtv remote has, it allows me to press SKIP (for 30 sec intervals), so if I am watching a channel and a commercial comes on I press SKIP 4 times, then go channel surfing, and when the 4x30sec ends, it automatically goes back to my program... I like that feature, but its not on this LG. But it does have a favorites button.

Now as for the volume deficiency my solution to this was to by a cheap, yet high quality, portable powered speaker system (battery/usb powered) that has a 3.5mm input/usb connections. This allows me to plug my powered speaker (FiiO - S9) into the LG HDTV headphone jack (I read where 1 reviewer said the was no audio out jacks, but there is.. a headphone jack). Then when I use the LGs remote control I can adjust the volume output and quality coming out of the FiiO (because its plugged in to the headphone jack). I purchased my FiiO-S9 on ebay for $[...], but now I see that amazon has it cheaper here:

http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-S9-Portable-Speaker-Players/dp/B002L4AEA4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1255467577&sr=8-4

Plus now I have a very nice powered speaker system that runs on 4 AA batteries. I can take it anywhere, (in the car, camping, etc) plug-in mp3 players, guitars, or whatever I want into it.

I guess 1 star could be taken off for the speakers, but not by me cause I found an easy solution to fix the problem

buy 1 of these TVs & I think you will enjoy it, I am.

I hope this helps clear some things up
