LG Flatron W2261V
Company: LG

Pros: What is packed into this monitor cost over $8,000 five years ago and the quality was nowhere as good. For $399 this is one of the best monitors we have seen for a long time.

Cons: This monitor would have been better if it had a USB can play audio or video files (from external drives).

"$399 1080p LG Monitor Ideal For Movies"

By David Richards | Published:2009-07-23

As televisions become more sophisticated, monitors are inheriting their technological wonders. Before you read this review, I want you to bear in mind that this is a brand new wide screen LG monitor which is only $399. This you will soon realise is a bargain price for a very impressive screen.

Right now, the notebook and netbook market is taking off and many buyers are turning to an attached monitor as a means to play games and watch movies. With this in mind, LG has released a neat 21.5" wide screen monitor that has HDMI 1080p capability and a genuine 20,000:1 contrast ratio (gray to gray).

Out of the box, the new LG W2261V is easy on the eyes with a dark blackish frame that has a hint of red, similar to the LG Scarlet series LCD TV. Set this monitor to the native resolution of 1920 X 1080 and you will soon realise that this display screen is a tad impressive - and that's before we ran a full HD Movie.

This is a monitor that delivers versatility at an attractive price. The 21.5-inch display delivers full HD functionality via a digital fine contrast ratio LG engine which was developed by LG display. With a fast 2ms response time and a native 300cd/m2 brightness, the W2261V is powered by LG's F-Engine chipset and there's a separate F-Engine control to suit your viewing application.
