LG Flatron L2010PLG Flatron L2010P

The LG is a seriously sexy piece of kit that we defy anyone not to drool over. The sleek modern styling with a slim silver bezel almost looks as if the picture is floating in air. This unit has a swivel feature that rotates the display panel from landscape to portrait view. Unfortunately there are no S-video or composite video inputs.

The stand and base for this unit has a good range of movement for both swivel and tilt, and also has a telescopic action to assist with the screen swivel. This could be handy for users to raise the display, even in landscape mode, to their preferred height--certainly looks classier than the old telephone book routine. The image quality, particularly brightness, was not up to the same level as the higher end products we looked at, in fact even with the brightness set to 100 percent, it still needed to go further to be configured correctly. The playback of fast moving images was excellent.

    Samsung SyncMaster 213T - Widescreen? - I was looking for a widescreen monitor about that size. I'm just glad I didn't order one based on your review for on the Samsung website it is quoted as being 4:3 aspect ratio.
    Very poor review
