For watching movies less suitable ...

One could summarize the.

22 ", Full HD, IPS panel for about 105 euros - a few years ago unimaginable and still a reasonable price.

Where was saved?

Right away the very limited number of inputs is striking - no DVI!

Then the pedestal. Very primitive constructed, but served its purpose.

Height adjustment can not be expected in this price range. The foot is in my opinion, however, unnecessarily high. Who position is too high, which should be the case especially in carriers of progressive lenses, has yet to take into account the 30-50 euros for an adjustable VESA mount (75 x 75 mm).

The picture is sharp, the colors are fine.

The viewing angle stability is only moderately compared to higher-priced IPS displays, but still ok. Compared to my old HP-TN monitor the image in any way is better, there the perspective was severely restricted and the brightness distribution is very uneven, the middle of a lot brighter than the rest. When LG has not these problems, especially not perceptible drop in brightness at the edges.

To points deductions lead mainly mentioned in other reviews halos. For me, these are mainly the left top and sides available and not to be overlooked when watching movies in dark scenes !!! Therefore, only 3 points, because that should no longer be in 2015! Also I find in movies the black level is not very convincing, in a slightly darkened room you can see quite clearly that black is displayed as dark gray.

If you get along without height adjustment, the LG therefore is more suitable as an office monitor (very sharp writing, but should be placed at 125% in System Preferences) and for games (no streaks).

Attention Mac users: Due to the comical rendering of fonts in OS X and because there is no cross-program setting of font sizes (except via interpolation), the LG is absolutely not suited to the Mac for writing and office work! Fonts are rendered too small depending on the software and to see them in general still blurred and uneven thickness of. Tested with Apple Mac mini (Late 2014).

Edit 7.5.15:

. Now that I've also 23 tested a (more expensive) Dell "I raise the rating to 4 stars halos on the edge, the Dell also, albeit much less pronounced, watching movies is far better though. The LG has the much more brilliant colors! Because it can not affect the Dell also the color saturation, the LG has with normal use as a monitor on the PC a more beautiful picture. As a measure to serve me here the Retina displays of Apple MacBooks, since the LG is of the color brilliance ago much closer off.
