LG L246W

Hey guys,

I work at Best Buy and just saw an LG L246W come off the truck. Since I work back in the computers dept, I got to set it up (on a crappy analog connection with a picture slideshow.) I havn't got a chance to run any movies or games on it, but I wanted to know if anyone has heard anythign about this monitor. I has an HDMI connection which is nice, but no DVI connection. Instead, they give you an HDMI to DVI cable. I guess that's fine, but having both would be nice. Then it comes with 1 component and the typical VGA. If anyone knows anythign further about this monitor, let me know. I'm very interested in purchasing one.

Cheers
 
Weird. The specifications for the L2000CE say it's a TN panel. The LG website also says the L2000C is an MVA panel.

I'm so confused.

NewEgg also has a new LG monitor, which I think is an IPS panel:

The LG L2000C was an IPS panel, and this is the newer replacement. Not a bad price for IPS, especially if you prefer large pixel sizes.
Click to expand...

Fake contrast ratio (advertising dynamic ratio) usually implies it is a TN panel... and for that price, it most likely is, take a look how much real 20" (1600x120)0 S-IPS panel costs.

IMO it looks like inflated marketing, S-IPS doesn't usually have viewing angle of 170/170, but 178/178...
 
I just printed a sign for this beast, and the retail price is $699. So it's slightly more expensive than the Gateway. All the best buy spec sheets say this has DVI AND HDMI, unfortunatly this monitor ONLY has HDMI and uses a DVI to HDMI adapter. The screen still looks beautiful. I will let you guys know if I test any video on it. It has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and 8ms response time.

We also just recieved a Westinghouse 24" (L2410NM) and an ACER 24" (X241WSD). They are price at $649 and $639 respectively. The Westinghouse does have HDMI, but again, no DVI port. The Acer has the traditional analog and DVI.

All three equiped with HDCP. The Westy has 700:1 and 5ms, and the Acer has 800:1 with 6ms.

All three should be available in US best buy stores.

 
Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but just today I bought an LG L246W display. I've been putting it through its paces for the last couple of hours. I must say this is the nicest looking display I've ever owned. Sharper and brighter than any Dell, Apple or Viewsonic display I've ever had connected to this computer. Spot-on colors, razor-sharp text (even with ClearType), great contrast and no ghosting that I could detect so far.

My one and only complaint is that the unit only has two USB ports on its hub; the Dell I was using up until today had four ports. But this is a pretty much a non-issue, and I knew it only had two before I bought it.

Anyway, if you're looking for a 24" display, do yourself a favor and check this unit out.
 
I recently had the misfortune of playing with this monitor (the LG245WP).


Yes, misfortune.

Copied from my review on Newegg.

Pros: None
Cons: It's so bright it hurts me eyes. When I try to turn the brightness down (below 58) the darker colors on my desktop begin to merge into a solid black blob (BAD!). The OSD buttons are a literal pain to use (and I thought my 230W monitor's buttons were a nuisance....) Black level was AWFUL, horrible, disgusting AND nauseating. This was when I had the brightness turned down to zero. 6 bad pixels (2 stuck white, and some misc stuck colors).
