Monitor Roundup: 23-26 Inches : LG Flatron W2353V-PF
5. LG Flatron W2353V-PF
Gaming
The W2353V manages rapid movements well. It will therefore be as good with games as your office documents. With an average display delay of under 1 image, there are no concerns when it comes to multi-player online or LAN play. Your performance may be compromised, but not by the screen!
LG’s offering in the 23-inch Full HD segment: the W2353V. A 2 ms screen with a design not dissimilar to the Samsung T series. A glossy black bezel underlain with a transparent plastic band. There are three video connections: VGA, DVI and HDMI. No speakers, but LG has placed a headphones out for sound from the HDMI connection. There is minimum base mobility; i.e. you can only tilt the panel. This is only enough for two stars for handling.
Colors
Nothing major when you turn it on but the sensor does highlight some problems with brightness of grey levels as well as a blue and red tinge. Nothing very alarming or disturbing however. The average difference between the colors requested by the graphics card and those displayed by the monitor, or the DeltaE, is only 3.2. Anything under 3 and only the very practiced eye can tell the difference. Setting the colors in sRGB rather than 6500K improves results even more and gives a deltaE of 2.8.
Contrast levels are also above average at over 830 : 1 (average is around 750 : 1. The colors are faithful enough then to allow you to use the screen for amateur photo work. Pros will prefer a monitor with a VA/PVA panel giving better color homogeneity.
Films
LG doesn’t do any better than other manufacturers in this area. Not the worst flickering we’ve seen but very visible all the same. Upscaling from SD sources leaves something to be desired. As usual then, you’ll have to have the right source and reader to optimise video results.

If you’re not looking for a screen you can adjust in height and use for photo work, the W2353V is made for you.

I just bought a Samsung T26HD Monitor & 1080p HD TV combo from Sam's club for $350. So far I love it. Better overall than the 28" Viewsonic I replaced.
What kind of article is this? Almost all the monitors got 4-star rating, STAR RATINGS? Little uniformity to the way the LCDs are described and "benchmarked".
Not up to par with normal THG's articles.
can anyone explain to my this flickering issue? is it only an issue on 1080p lcd monitor?
look here for better deals and better displays http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 20x%201080
I don't understand the need for such a big variety in size. It just seems like there should only be 20, 24 and 30. Are people really that picky about these things?

Why would ANYBODY but an apple monitor?

For the name.
Personally, I was looking forward to seeing the Samsung F2380, but apparently all of the worthy monitors got left out.
None of these impressed me at all. Though I use a pair of 24" Samsungs at home along with a pair of 17" Samsungs, I still prefer the 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 200 I took to work, especially for gaming. No LCD that I have seen has been able to compare to it yet in my opinion.

It's not a THG article, it's a Digital Versus article that was republished here. I assume there is a partnership happening.
I am sorry if I am keeping asking this: are there true 24 bit LCD (8 bits / color) monitor in this review? I want to buy real 24 bit LCD, not some 18 bit interpolation
. I don't want to be cheated. If the vendor sold a 18 bit LCD with 18 bit color information that would be fine. But they sell 18 bit as 24 bit, that would be wrong. From google I find out that TN panel is out of option. All TN Panel is 18 bit interpolation. thx.
I want a big one for Christmas.
What about the Samsung SyncMaster 2343BW?
***** monitor.
Why? It's a 2048x1152 23" monitor for about $190...
Wao.... this quite a good review. After reading it there is S-IPS panel and PVA. I just don't certain if they are true 24 bit, since today many value IPS and VA is show up.
If there is no color problem, then this is another major problem:
RESOLUTION. Since 17" hi end laptop till 103" world largest Plasma why the are all at 1900 x 1200? Only few of them really make few megapixel resolution. If 1400 is for 19", 22 is 1080p, then 24 should be 2500 x 1600. More thant 24" res should be more than 2500. It also good to anticipate the coming of 4k movie. Or if you are a photographer with 24 megapixel jpg / raw. There also halbingter of what super hi end camera that has 50 Megapixel.
Please I hope OLED will fix 2 major LCD problem :
1. color interpolation
2. resolution beyond 1080p HD.
Why weren't any Dell monitors included in this review? I have been using the 2407WFP for about three years now. Solid monitor. The 2408's are out now. This is one of the best monitors on the market regardless of price. Why wasn't it included in this review? INCOMPLETE!!!
My thoughts exactly, no Dell, even after my extensive research, I always bump into a 2408WFP and the recently released U2410, which the later is REALLY amazing bar the 6ms gtg response (even on the 2408WFP) which I am debating if that is really an improvement over my 8ms gtg 2007WFP response rate wise?
Couldn't figure out how to edit the previous post, but I meant to say 8ms vs 6ms gtg in a gaming environment, is it a big improvement?

To be honest you must have been one of the lucky ones with your dell. From my research the Dells tend to be a hit and miss as to good vs. bad ones. I tend to pay more attention to User reviews rather than Editor Reviews as nowadays Editors tend to be biased and or just like to cut corners and give everyone 4 stars lol. This is purely slacking in ones job duties. I would like to note however that I believe the manufactures no matter which brand would be held accountable to the advertised specs on hardware. Monitor manufacture. Tend to be the worse culprit when it comes to overstated performance.
Page one.
A typo that's still a word. Funny stuff.
Sorry for double post:
What's this about a mouse and keyboard included with the Apple display? Their webpage doesn't say anything about that. If they were included, then when combined with passable speakers, webcam and mic, the total asking price starts to sound slightly less ridiculous (remember what the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard cost).
8ms vs 6ms gtg in a gaming environment, is it a big improvement?
That's a 33% improvement mate.
