LG L227WTG-PF Black 22" 2ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 10000:1DCR with HDCP Support

Pros: Best monitor for gaming and watching videos in the 22'" category due to 2ms response time and 0 input lag. Very sleek and shiny design. The thin and glossy minimalistic bezel complements its glossy screen. The gloss makes images look "sweeter", vibrant, and more enticing compared to regular matte screens. I had been using matte screens for the longest time and didn't know what I was missing!

If you can't stand even the slightest reflections, this monitor is not for you. The advantages to be had is in sweeter picture quality compared to a matte finish (If you choose matte, you will sacrifice some picture quality) Just make sure to control/position your lighting and you will reap the rewards this monitor has to offer.

Black levels are superb as well as overall color reproduction. This monitor will play 720p HD movies (1080p not supported due to lower screen size) No ghosting detected in games either.

Cons: 1) Stand is a bit wobbly (Should be of no concern to most people)
2) No height adjustment
3) DVI cable not included
4) Not for those who like a matte finish or work in bright reflective environments
5) Wish LG made a 24"(1920x1200) glossy version to experience full 1080p HD

Overall Review: Make sure to calibrate monitor settings as the default settings are way off. Lowering the gamma to -50 is the most important as I find that it brings out the colors as well as the black levels. These are my following settings:

Brightness: 50, Contrast: 62, Gamma: -50, Red: 50, Green: 44, Blue: 45, Sharpness: 5

Pros: WAS a great monitor, until today.

Cons: Purchased 8/16/08, failed 7/18/09.
Vertical blue lines 1/4" apart all the way across the display. Tested thoroughly, monitor is definately bad.

Overall Review: I don't recommend purchasing this monitor unless you're fine with it lasting 1 year or less.
