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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent value for money LCD screen

I suppose this screen has some issues that people with a more discerning eye than me will criticize, but that's a big and big deal for me. I previously bought an Asus monitor that had a very strange issue where there was side to side movement, either on the screen or when you were physically moving in a constant direction in your seat. This monitor costs $40 less, has decent color and clarity, and even has a better menu system (although I haven't found a menu system on any monitor that I would call 'good' yet). Important Details: It's $140. , it's not IPS (which is good if you want to play games), it's LED, it's thin and looks cool. When I played Wow and Fallout: New Vegas on it, I found the monitor more than adequate. I reckon you could shell out another $150 to get a much better monitor, but for the price I don't see how you can beat it. The only downside I have is the lack of an HDMI or display port, but these are relatively trivial considering there's no on-screen audio output. I give 4 out of 5 for value, the screen itself looks solid. although the base is a bit cheap.

Pros
  • The high brightness ensures that the images remain clear even in bright environments.
Cons
  • Limited Customer Support
