LG W2286L 22-Inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor (Gloss Black)

Comment: This LED monitor is good for those people who like matte displays (I like glossy displays since they are brighter and crisper). I would rate it as okey monitor - I wasn't that excited like some other users. Just a good LED monitor for the money.

Comment: Excellent value, recommend using the HDMI inputs to maximize resolution quality. Using with a Gateway Win 7, Intel Core i5 and Nvidia 512MB Graphics card.

Comment: It does look nice. That's why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. I took it out of the box, plugged it into my laptop, and it was running fine for about 10min. Then it started turning off and turing on repeatedly. I searched online for a fix, but couldn't find anything. I tried running it connected to my desktop, my work desktop, and multiple different outlets, and still the same thing.

I called LG support and they told me that, after hearing everything I tried, that they needed me to send my monitor back to them to be serviced. Considering I purchased it brand new, and didn't want to spend money on shipping just to get a refurbished monitor, I decided to return it. Going to get the Samsung SyncMaster PX2370. It's their newest LED monitor and doesn't come out until April, but I'm thinking it'll be worth the wait.

Comment: I upgraded from my 22" LG to this new LED Backlight monitor. I can say that it was worth every penny that I paid for this unit. The base installed in one minute. Not very detailed instructions. Hooked it up to my computer & W7 Pro X64 identified it immediately. The install CD is not for W7 so you have to go to LG support site it locate the driver. The CD manual wants to use adobe reader as I could not save the file. I use another PDF reader so I had to download it also from their support site & print it. This is a true green monitor for power usage 23 watts whlie having a 2ms response time. It really is bright great contrast & no dead pixels. Tonight, I will play with the adjustments, however, I am amased how sharp the monitor compared to my old LG monitor.

I thought that the outer package would have had more brown paper or peanuts in the box. I was scared it would be damaged because you never know how it was handled during shipping.

Amazon was the only vendor that I could locate this unit for sale. Buy it Now if you are considering an upgrade as you will not be sorry! It makes me want to upgrade my LCD LG TV to a LG LED Backlight TV.

Comment: I really like the brightness & clarity of this display. This is obviously because it is LED but also because of the 2ms refresh rate (no flicker). It is physically attractive even before it is turned on. My only complaint is that it does attract dust because of the glossy black finish. Excellent product!
