<< is this LG model good? >>
From the specs, it doesn't appear as good as the Acer FP855 from E-Cost for $899 (after a $100 rebate).
LG 880LC:
Brightness = 200 cd/m2(200 nits, typical)
Contrast Ratio = 250:1 (typical)
Maximum Resolution = 1280 x 1024 @ 75 HZ
Acer FP855:
Contrast Ratio = 300:1
Brightness = 235 cd/m²
