I got the LG IPS23 1900x1024 , very nice, and i am mostly impressed with IPS angle viewability. price was right too. Had the best color out of EVERY Led monitor in the whole store. but still the old cold cathode monitors had more "colors" because of the backlight. But the selection of old Cold cathodes was terrible.
Minor cons:
Nothing being perfect, it has a bit of that X darkness comming out of the corners at severe angles (angles non-ips wont do at all) . It is LED, and although the Red on IPS is the best Red , it is not at all the same as a cold cathode and certannly not like a CRT. So minor, but there.
Structure:
It was cool, and uses way less power, had a good "base". I couldnt believe the cruddy bases put on most of the monitors in there, a good cough and they would fall over
many of the bases were already broken. It does the Profile rotation stuff, and the base allows for height adjustments.
Goofey stuff:
Any of that Auto contrast, auto brightness junk that has been seen in other monitors, can apparently be turned off, because it has not gone goofy on me since adjusting it the way i want. In monitor menu controls still not really intuitive, but it was a big improvement over some other controls i have used.
It did not have an Auto backlight thing, for adjusting to room conditions. Fine with me.
it was cheap, whats cheap, err, i paid some $700+ years ago for my dell so cheap is relative, i think the lg was less than $250usd after taxes.
These Newer non-Ips LCD pannels that are LED light that are cheap, every one of them in the store had terrible reds , and horrible colors comparably , If i was given one I would sell it. For gaming, i would not care at all, but for working specifically with photo and video they would drive me crasy.
But remember that I have seen, and still have a CRT, so I am still ticked off that the NEW stuff , the better stuff , went backwards a bit in color in general, to get where they are.
