LG 24" MVA Panel Monitor. Thoughts?

[Ornery Platypus]

LG M2452D-PU 24" MVA Panel for 199.99.

Cannot find a review on this monitor. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Intended use would be gaming, "productivity" (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), web time wasting. No watching/editing movies. Picture editing restricted to getting my Walmart 4x6's jussst rigght.

Thanks

Not bad. I wish it matched my Soyo's 1920x1200 res, but its the best non-TN panel for this price I've seen other than the 23" AOC IPS panel that Anand reviewed a few months back.

Odd that it's called a monitor, yet has a tv tuner, 2 hdmi, and no dvi.

AFAIK the MVA panels have slower response time than both IPS and TN panels, so there would be more lag when gaming.

Response time is a very subjective thing. I have never noticed any playing games on my Soyo panel, but I simply cannot stand the poor color repro and bad viewing angles of a TN panel, so while I agree that a younger set of eyes may pick up lag, the MVA panel benefits outweigh the TN panel for what I play.

No TN panel will ever be worthwhile for me after using an MVA or PVA panel. I just find it odd I can't find any reviews on the OP's panel.

I personally like MVA panels for general use, I hope our Soyo 24" keeps hanging in there for a few more years. We have a LG 32" TV with an MVA panel and it too has a great image. I hate it that the trend is going towords 1080 panels instead of 1200.
