 The LG W2453V 24-inch monitor is a part of the LG 53 series. It has a UCC Optimized Picture Window which is designed to provide uniform brightness across the entire screen and features a 16:9 aspect ratio screen which creates a clear image and eliminates image stretching. The series uses the unique f-ENGINE, a chip that enhances the color and brightness of the picture, manipulating them independently. The LG W2453V has a glossy black cabinet, easy to use touch panel controls, and an intelligent sensor that automatically adjusts the image based on the content and the room-lighting conditions. It has a 2 ms response time, a 1080p resolution, the HDMI input and the 50,000:1 Digital Fine Contrast (DFC) ratio that all work together to make a monitor that is great for graphic or video editing. Overall, the 24-inch monitor would fit in well in a home or work office.

I purchased the monitor for use with my Xbox 360 and it was so impressive I decided to purchase a second one and now use them as dual monitors for my desktop. I replaced two 19 inch Samsung monitors which are excellent and I had no issue with and continue to have no issue with. I just couldn't resist the price which gives this LCD a good value and of course the size increase.

If anyone is looking for a new monitor this is an excellent choice and it will not disappoint anyone who buys one.

as with most or all screens, it is difficult to set options with the little buttons (in this case static buttons), leds, and sparse on-screen icons. wouldn't it be great if screen settings could be set via a form driven by sw on the host computer?

Touch Sensitive controls are easy to use and add to this displays overall style. I went from a 2053BW from Samsung to this and there is NO bleeding whatsoever compared to the Samsungs in the same line. Very Imprressed!!!

I just bought this monitor from Best Buy here in Canada for $269 CAN funds. Unbelievable deal. I had a 22 inch which I am passing down to my son because I just could not miss out on this good a deal. I was just checking it out earlier in the week for $339 but was on the fence.
I noticed later on in the day that Futureshop has this on for that price, and the price was not advertised for Best Buy, but I am guessing they matched the price as they do own Futureshop here now I am pretty sure.

For $269 CAN definatly a great buy. Been playing Wolfenstein and a crysis and it looks stunning on this big monitor.
