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

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 -...Read more

One must be mindful of the fact that the M237WD-PM is a dual-use monitor: computer and HDTV. It appears to me that even "professional" reviewers on the Internet forget that very important fact and are, as a consequence, at once, inappropriately critical of some of the monitor's features and performance while expecting the monitor to perform in a manner beyond the scope of its design. The second important fact that appears to elude reviewers is that, at 23 inches, the monitor is a so-called kitchen/bedroom or personal monitor.

Take for instance a critique here that notes the protruding connector at the base of the screen, which renders an unattractive image when the monitor is hung on a wall. Who hangs a computer monitor on a wall? If one desires a 23-inch HDTV - to hang on a wall - I would suggest a dedicated unit, which is likely to be less expensive and have fewer internal components/circuits subject to failure.

Just bought this set at amazon.
Wow I'm impressed! Very crisp image, clear menus, lots of inputs, just enough sound quality and great looks.

Works wonderful with my netbook using the PC connection. Full 1920x1080 instantly!
Worked well too using a DVI-D to HDMI adaptor as a second monitor for my desktop computer. It has the DVI-D input but I currently don't have the cable.

Image is outstanding... Deep blacks and intense whites. It's on par to my 32" XBR6 Sony LCD. I'm very happy to have chosen this set instead a plain LCD monitor I wanted. It worth the extra $100.

As a TV using cable input, digital channels look great and regular channels look very good.

Still need to check a Full HDMI video source (not a PC).
