LG 575LE

LG 575LE The LG is quite a large display, just shy of 5kg. The display panel is quite thick and the front of the panel sports a larger than normal bezel. The build quality of the display panel is reasonably good but the stand could have offered a little more support for the panel. We found there was a lot of play between the panel and the stand.

The LG features soft touch buttons, which are a bonus as they will let you adjust the display much faster. However, the LG is only an analogue display. It doesn't have built in speakers or any audio connectors either.

The image quality was quite good. Text especially appeared nice and sharp but there were some interference patterns that we could only get rid of by manually tweaking the display. The auto adjustment in this case didn't provide us the best picture. Also like many of the other displays, there were some vertical distortions present in some of our tests.
