This 17" widescreen from LG has got stunning looks. The front part of its bezel and the support stand sport an engraved striped design. It performed well in our DisplayMate benchmark showing errors only in color regeneration tests, which is common in LCD monitors. Watching videos on the monitor was also a joy thanks to its 5000: 1 dynamic contrast ratio. It supports a maximum resolution of 1440x 900, and being a wide screen makes it easy to work on multiple windows simultaneously.

Even though it has 8 ms response time, it didn't show any ghosting or streaking during high-definition video playback. The monitor can be tilted but there is no provision for height or swivel adjustment. Its menu and control keys are present at the bezel's bottom and are a little hard to press. Another interesting feature is that whenever the scene modes are changed from normal to text or movie, the adjustment is first displayed on the right half of the screen.
