If only he would just quietly!

First: I had previously only private CRTs, laptop and netbook apart times. At work I have to do every day but with different monitors, some well above my price category. I inform good and see a lot before buying - or keep a little longer than 14 days)

The LG W2453TQ-PF I ordered because it had good reviews in image quality and speed.

The sensor keys ...
are a gimmick that at the store or at the fair is to generate attention. In everyday life, they only interfere. One does not turn often to the settings? Maybe. But what I then tens of modes? But I can use the LG software? Sure, that is not even bad. But in full-screen applications I do not come off. The worst part: I accidentally turned off on several occasions with the index finger knuckle the monitor when I wanted to stop what. Does not cost 10 seconds, leaving a design but curse!

The overall design ...
is chic, almost playful. The tinted acrylic glass bar at the bottom with the red momentum looks appealing. Each edge is curved. But everywhere is piano lacquer! Everywhere. My Benq 2420HDBL is behind matt, front (frame) and shiny at the bottom there's a matte surface that interrupts the Geglänze. Shine as a highlight. Here at LG just ists manufacture only cheaper, scheints.
In short: if you want a monitor that visually what makes her, the LG is a good choice. It falls on. But subtly different. And I think, especially if you have multiple monitors, which should be rather simple. If only because you want to be as narrow as possible frame.

The Image ...
can not judge you. I have now compared the two monitors, and find the Benq makes natural colors. But something is highly subjective - is definitely the image of LG not bad. "Tame" colors you can always just suffers the contrast then stop something. The LG W1453TQ-PF makes colors one else knows more of glossy displays - Or OLED smartphones like the Galaxy from Samsung.

Streaks ...
forming the TFT also. It is given with 2 ms (gray-to-gray), and was probably measured about 16 ms (worst case value). Nevertheless, one sees ghosting during fast movements. I was able to triple an object in a game by Hinundherwackeln with the mouse. BenQ has stated 5ms, is probably measured with 22ms, which is one third more. He will also show the object four times.
Now some will say "something does not make man" and they are right. I just wanted to compare the monitors, and discovers that ghosting is not gone. For writing acts when scrolling depending on the speed "frayed" at the bottom of the LG - probably a downside of the stronger overdrive technology. Games you can on both monitors. And Schlieren free to anyone.

Equipment and software ...
VGA and DVI cable (30cm Felt short, definitely shorter than usual), power cable. Manual, driver CD. The latter includes "forte manager" software, with which you can adjust the mouse brightness, color, mode, etc. Not perfect, especially in the operation, and if you read then "LG Software India" is a quite clear. But it's there, and it helps. The monitor has a brightness sensor automatically adjusts a pleasant brightness. About 50% is so painful in dark rooms. Has the Dark room now but large windows, and it is only in degree night ... you get the idea, quite a lot of sense something.

The big but:
He hums. I was really happy, no dead pixels, so the film from and adjust. It was music. After instructions on Chip.de brightness and contrast adjusted. The next day I make the PC on and think "what is buzzing because here, damn because vibbiert again something, I hate it when that happens!" - But I realized that the sound is coming from the monitor. It is not cheep, but still bad. You have to say, I NEN PC with ner relatively loud cooling water and 6 hard drives in it. But I respect "quiet" and therefore the monitor was just as disturbing as the rest of the computer. The noise starts at 92% brightness and is identical between 91% and the lowest level. Therefore, the beautiful brightness sensor is useless as long as no music or the like running. Therefore, I always daytime wore the brightness to 93% and night music. Here you have to use the touch stuff. No condition.
The buzzing is less than hours, but does not disappear. Now this can only relate to think a friend has a completely different TFT, which is however only the first two minutes audible. _Meiner_ But _mich_ has so annoyed that I now spend a little more money and guarantees soundless LED technology to buy.

Other reviews ...
say, the monitor will not come back from standby. That's what I can not see, the problem is solved well in current stocks. But what struck me: My graphics card is at boot time only on a port of something. Does not depend of the monitor to this port, it goes into standby and remain there until you "wake" him by hand. The problem is the Benq however. There is talk also occasionally flicker and jitter. In the first few minutes I no longer have something experienced, on the second day already.

One conclusion:
Exactly the property that can not be improved by adjusting, and can not also test the electrical shop, strikes here. There, all monitors are turned on screaming bright, and too loud ists also. Who eventual hum no matter who is happy here for little money. Who needs silently, should look further.
