LG 22MP55HQ-P Black 22" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor, IPS panel

Pros: This monitor is a really nice one for the money. IPS full HD 1080, great contrast perfectly fine for budget gaming

Cons: Really none at all at this point.

Overall Review: Its better to have a smaller monitor with a better panel then a say 24 in TN glossy

Pros: It worked.

Calibration issues can be sorted out.

Name Brand.

Extremely light weight!! (unsure if that's a good thing)

Cons: Maybe it's bad luck, but this monitor has been plagued with issues.

1) The color was all off. Monitors always need calibration, but you rarely expect one to arrive with a sickening green tint to everything.

2) Since this monitor doesn't have an dvi connection, and many graphics cards don't have the old vga connections as an option anymore, You may have a problem. This monitor only comes with a vga cord, you have to ensure you have a cord ready to go since it also fails to come with an adapter.

3) The hdmi connection is garbage. If I tap on the cord, or sometimes even bump the desk, the connection gets jostled and flashes black screen. This /might/ be bad luck in manufacturing this particular monitor or a design flaw. Hard to say.

4) The vga cable it does come with is on the short side. If you have a multi monitor set up you're probably in trouble depending on where you intend to place the monitor. Easy to imagine this not reaching many set ups.

Overall Review: Possible the monitor is just defective. However since this monitor is to replace another LG monitor, I'm uncertain if I should replace it or go with another brand.
