Sounds too good to be true. From the LG site:
>> Ideal as Public Information and Home Display : The large screen, coupled with ultra high brightness and multimedia speakers, makes it well-suited for home entertainment and for presentations for large groups of people <<
So, by implication it's not suitable for single-user PC use then?
Aside from response time issue, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tell the difference between specification of LCD monitors and TVs, but always the marketing information points to one use or the other.
I have a 20.1" Dell 2001FP running 1600x1200 native resolution, which I use solely for PC desktop apps and games.
For me, a true "multi-purpose" screen should work as:
- PC "desktop" monitor, viewed close up (~0.5m).
- Gaming display (PC and consoles), viewed at 1m-2m.
- TV/Cinema display, both HDTV and non-HDTV resolutions, viewed at 2m-4m.
So, my ideal product would be:
- 1600x1200 native resolution. I don't need any more than this for desktop use, and any higher would be difficult for any graphics card to drive at native resolution.
- About 30" diagonal. In my environment, this is large enough for good movie viewing, but small enough for ergonomic desktop use.
- No noticable ghosting (my 16ms 2001FP is fine in this respect).
- Good picture with common inputs (1600x1200 PC, both HDTV resolutions, games consoles, and non-HDTV signals).
By far PC desktop use is the most important, as I need to spend many hours a day working at 1600x1200 without eyestrain.
So, my next buy is likely to be one that's aimed at PC users, but also works well for HDTV/TV/DVD signals.
