This is one of the three more style-orientated LCD monitors submitted for this review. It has a black bezel with a hint of silver frame around the edge, a gloss white back, and a chrome mirror ring for a base.
There are no speakers on this monitor and the 12-volt power is delivered through a brick-type AC adaptor. The power, DVI, and D-Sub video inputs are all located at the rear of the base and not on the monitor itself which means neat cable routing can be achieved.
The menu system is very good but it takes some getting used to -- the touch sensitive buttons lend themselves to getting inadvertently knocked, particularly the large power one -- on several occasions we accidentally turned the monitor off when trying to adjust and tune the settings. Display Mate tests were good across the board, contrast, colours, and yellow included. Graphics and text are both very crisp and clear.
Video Playback and 3DMark were crystal clear with very minimal tearing and great contrast ratio and therefore field of depth.
Priced at AU$999 this model is obviously relying on its stylish design over everything else -- the LG has definitely had a lot of design put into it and is certainly innovative. The performance is also very good, however, at this price there are a few better options in this review. If one can swallow the price then the LG provides the best compromise of style versus function and performance.
