Hi all
Just thought I'd drop by and give me opinion of the new 22" LG I've purchased.
Overall its great. The high contrast ratio and the low response time is great and I couldn't ask for more when it comes to a monitor.
However there are a few issues I've had with this particular unit.
First and foremost was the lack of uniform digital connection that is available with this monitor. I was left with a 0-pin DVI connection for digital while my video card supports up to 4 pin. I had purchased a DVI with the 4 pin DVI because I thought they were uniform, unfortunately this is not the case and I must find myself a digital cable that is compatible with the connection that is supported on this monitor.
Besides this I find my eVGA 8800gtx KO ACS3 struggling with supreme commander in dual monitor set up. I am running 1680x1050 on my main (22" and 1048x960 on 2nd) and it lags with the radar on the other monitor. Not sure if this is optimized or just pushing this card to the limits. Makes me wonder if I should buy another 8800 to supplement it.
I couldn't be happier with this monitor. Side by side I can totally tell the difference between a 3 year old monitor and a new series with a high contrast ratio and a low response time. Definately one of the best monitors i've purchased.
Only thing I have an issue is with the bleeding at the left/right and top/bottom of the monitor. things such as lighter areas in those respective areas make me wonder if this is a bad unit and should replace or if this is normal. It doesn't affect me in game or in AutoCAD/CS2 so not sure if its worth the bother.
