Cons: Dead pixels. You get what you pay for.
Pros: Cheap, when it works, it works great. Comment:
If you buy this monitor, buy an NCIX dead pixel guarantee. I just ordered four of them, and two had dead pixels. That's a 50% defectiveness right out of the box. LG only covers warranty claims for "bright" or "dark" pixels if there are more than 6 for 1920x1080 screens. Will investigate further. |

Cons: flimsy stand, DVI-D cable not included
Pros: Great image quality Comment:
The monitor itself is a bang for the buck. Excellent image quality with great dynamic contrast. However, the stand is really cheap. It wobbles around quite and bit and there's no option for height adjust. Overall a good product. |

Works great and the price is good. It only came with a VGA cable. I needed a DVI-D cable since I was using as a second monitor. |

Cons: le pied est un peu branlant.
Pros: finition superbepas cher en promoluminuex Comment:
Acheter en promo a 129$. L'écran est lumineux, les couleur sont bonne, pas de ghosting. Le contour de l'écran est mince parfait pour un surround. Le devant et le peid sont ont un fini aluminum brossé noir. Seul bémol, le pied est un peu branlant mais ca vas. |

Cons: Lack of HDMI port
Pros: Monitor was cost-efficient Comment:
I bought this monitor because it supported the new HDCP standard to view blu-Ray. After installing my new internal Blu-Ray player to watch movies on my computer I got the message that my old Viewsonic 22" VX2235WM display was not HDCP (Intel's' Blu-ray anti-piracy technology) compatible. My previous monitor was relatively new, but apparently this is a new standard. So I decided to upgrade to this monitor and give my old one to my son.$180 USD later brought it home and hooked it up. Fantastic! What an improvement! Extremely bright, crisp and clear. The controls are easy to use, the image far superior and supports 1920x1080 native. At first I thought the unit was flimsy; the stand is, but since the panel is so light (and thin!) it did not need to be made of steel. I am very happy.One note: the installation CD did not autorun and did not load at all. So I went into Windows 7 device manager, located the monitor, updated the driver, and pointed the browser to the CD. It updated in seconds. Viola! It plays Blu-Ray and looks great. This monitor does not have an HDMI input. I really don't need HDMI on the monitor since I have an external sound system connected to the computer and DVI is just as good for video only, but if you want (or need) HDMI, look to the E2442-V. It's only a little more expensive. This monitor is Blu-Ray (HDCP) compatible. I am very happy with it. |

Cons: can be cheaper
Pros: Good for the price, good looking Comment:
This is my primary monitor for my gaming rig, and it does its job as a monitor just fine.Theres not any cons that I can think of, so my advice is just buy it if you need a new monitor. |

Cons: Wobbly stand.
Pros: Slim, big, inexpensive. Comment:
Nowadays, you have to get 24 inch screens to get a proper size, because of the 16:9 ratio. The stand is wobbly, and could use more support.Screen is bright and sharp. Design could use a bit more "omphh", but remains classical in look. Not the ugliest around, though. |

Cons: thin wobbly stand
Pros: bright, clear Comment:
This unit is great for what I purchased it for - an upgrade to my old, ailing 17" LCD monitor. This is my household's first LED monitor. What a huge difference. I immediately had to dial back the brightness to 75%, and it's still noticeably brighter than my old one, or my husband's. Glad that I opted for the 24" size, though, rather than a 19" or even a 21", as I was very accustomed to the 4:3 aspect ratio of my old monitor, and a smaller widescreen unit than 24" would have looked too short (by comparison). This one is the same height display as my old 17" one, but much wider. The one thing that could be better is that the stand could be sturdier, but fortunately, the surface it's sitting on is one that's not easily moved. This monitor is just right for my needs, at an affordable and competitive price. |

Cons: NO HDMI, Flimsy, shakes
Pros: Not Expensive, 24" LED Comment:
As previous reviews said it's really really flimsy and if your desk shakes it shakes a lot with it. Would recommened only on low budget. |

I upgraded from a fairly small 19" and I couldn't be happier. For the price there is no better option, this monitor is great. |

Cons: A bit flimsy.
Pros: Bright, large, thin, cheap. Comment:
I picked up 4 of these the other day and have been impressed with them so far. I would comment on the flimsiness of them though. The area where the VESA part of the monitor connects to the monitor itself has already snapped loose on one of them. Also the stand is very flimsy. If you have a shaky desk, the whole monitor will shake and almost make you nauseous as you type. In the end, we had to buy Ergotron mounting arms to put the connection between the monitor and the desk right near one of the desk legs where is was solid. |

Cons: I was using the vesa mounts but the connectors aren't pointed down. This makes cable routing hard because the are pinched in between the vesa mount and the monitor
Pros: Crisp images. Bright. No glare Comment:
Very good as long as you don't have to use the vesa mounts. |

Cons: Seems a little flimsy, No HDMI
Pros: Light, Bright, Sharp, inexpensive. Comment:
I bought this monitor since after installing a new internal Blu-Ray player to watch movies on my computer I got the message that my old Viewsonic 22” VX2235WM display was not HDCP (Intel’s’ Blu-ray anti-piracy technology) compatible. The DVI on the monitor did not support the new standard, although my video card did. My previous monitor was relatively new, but apparently this is a new standard. So I decided that my son needed a new computer monitor (my old one ?).Ok, bit the bullet, $180 USD later brought it home and hooked it up. What a difference! Extremely bright, crisp and clear. The controls are easy to use, the image far superior and supports 1920x1080 native. At first I thought the unit was flimsy, but since the panel is so light (and thin!) it did not need to be made of steel. I am very happy. One note: the installation CD did not autorun and browsing manually the install program did not load at all. So I decided to go into Windows 7 device manager, locate the monitor, update the driver, and pointed the browser to the CD. It update d in seconds. Viola! It plays Blu-Ray and looks great. My son is happy and so am I. I really don’t need HDMI on the monitor since I have an external sound system connected to the computer and DVI is just as good for video only, but if you want (or need) HDMI, look to the E2442-V. It’s only a little more expensive. |

Cons: Only VGA and DVI port
Pros: Low PriceGood Quality for this price (not professional) Comment:
This product seem to be great. Only have it for one day but the picture is good enough for any office work and games. Would recommend this for low budget that want a big screen. |
Got this monitor for my parents on a sale and I was really surprised with it. Seriously considered taking it for myself and giving them my Asus ve247h. The LG monitor is much slimmer than mine and looks slicker. Overall very nice monitor and will buy again.
