This review is from: LG M237WD-PM Black 23" HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full 1080P LCD Monitor w/ Built-in Speaker 300 cd/m2 20000:1 w/ Built-in ATSC Digital Tuner
Pros:
- Tons of inputs
- DVI connection looks amazing
- Optical output makes switching sound AND video a one-step process
- Remote is a welcome change for switching inputs, rather than using on-monitor buttons
- Grows on you if you give it a chance
- Component and HDMI look fairly good with some careful tweaking, though still inferior to DVI
Cons:
- HDMI connection isn't what it should have been
- All inputs besides DVI require careful tweaking to make them look any good
- Even after tweaking, HDMI is still very sub-par
Overall Review:
Sorry for the double review. After my initial outrage I decided to give this monitor another chance, and it's actually not as bad as I thought. It's still a let-down with it's inferior HDMI connection, but after some heavy tweaking, you can make the HDMI passable and eventually get used to how it looks. A few other things, such as the optical output and myriad of video inputs warrant at least a few eggs.
To sum up: If you're not an HD aficionado, this monitor may end up being a gift from the heavens, but if you're a tech-head that notices every little detail, I'd steer clear and wait for something better.
Remember: Research is you're greatest ally in the hunt for a good monitor.
