    Great monitor, clear graphics display.

    Im running 2 computers in my room one running DVI and the other D-SUB, and i love the feature to be able to switch between the 2 displays!

    Life is not good with LG R Moore -- 05/04/06

    My experience with LG monitors is not a positive one. The 19" monitor I bought lasted 2 weeks and turned up its toes and it has been with the service agent for 3 weeks with no end in sight. LGE Australia have been of no assistance whatsoever with getting me a solution. Most of the time they will not respond to queries posted on their website and do not seem to care about any inconvenience I might have to suffer. I would not recommend their products to anyone. They may be OK if they do not break down but if they do, you are most certainly on your own.

    Horrible monitor. Corporate setting. All cubicles have these monitors. At least 10 burned out this year.

    Don't Buy them.

    yeah, same with mine at home, just burned out one evening, useless product.

    I bought my HP 1955 with the xw4300 workstation back in 2005 and it hasn't given me a bit of trouble. Truly reliable, no dead pixels, works flawlessly.

    Contrast that with -- In '07 I bought a Polaroid FLM-1911 Monitor/TV so I could watch football (American style!) while working but also use the monitor as an extension for presentation in my office. It's already dead. TV (via cable) stopped working, DVD output only works on HDTV now, and VGA flickers with a pinkish hue.

    I'll take HP quality over Polaroid any day.
