Review on LG E2742V 27" Full HD Widescreen Monitor, 1920X1080P, 60Hz, Wide Screen by Nuwsti Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stunning clarity, colour, detail and value for money

I've had this monitor since November 2012 when I bought it from Best Buy for a Black Friday sale. This is the main screen in my dual monitor setup (the other monitor is a great HP2009m) and I love it. I use it extensively for graphics editing and for that purpose it's just a dream come true. I haven't had a single issue with it and the only real downside I can think of is the lack of a DisplayPort connection when using it with a 3 monitor gaming setup using AMD Eyefinity technology. You can still use the monitor in such a display, but you'll need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (around $15) to make it backward compatible with your graphics card's DisplayPort. It doesn't matter much since I'm not a gamer, but I can bet this monitor would be awesome in this setup.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Bad contrast
