LG Challenges Apple LED Cinema Display Comments

I hope have a zero dead pixel policy .. led pixel can be death? Forgive my ignorance...

Looks stunning with the LED lighting LG could be onto a winner. Would like to see a bigger screen size though 26"...30"

LED should bring in a new dawn of screen sizes for PC, with 30" being the starting point (2 of them preferably).

I bought a pair of these at Fry's yesterday (where they can't keep them in stock) for me and my wife. I have astigmatism, which has made text on every LCD screen (except the Apple iMac 24, which is an LG.Phillips H-IPS) look blurry and ghosty.

But with this model, LG's breathed some new life into an old technology. Backlighting a TN panel made images and text look 80-85% as good as the Apple, without calibration. For photographic work, it's still got all the problems of any TN panel. But my wife does graphic design work, and she's very happy with it. I bet if we had a colorimeter, we could get better results. Her Hulu TV also looks a damned sight better.

The cons are the ergonomics -- no height, rotation, or pivot adjustments, no apparent way to receive firmware updates, crappy installation documentation that you need a magnifying glass for.

But if you don't want to shell out $500 of an H-IPS (cheapest price of a 24-in H-IPS Phillips monitor I found), this unit, at $350, is a great value.
