Plenty of chatter on the board for ViewSonic, but not a peep about any LG units. Is there something I'm missing?

So is there a story behind this monitor, or is it just too new for a good review?

Thanks,

I just picked up the LG from Best Buy. It's already gone at the store I purchased it at, as it apparently is a BB exclusive for now. I've never heard of such an arrangment for an LCD, anyone with more info? I also have a NEC 90GX2, but I prefer this LG. For lots of text work, it's much better than the Opticlear (the review on here is right on the NEC--too bright for document work).

I think the lack of reviews is because it's so new, and so hard to find right now. I called my BB, and they had 3. I arrived 30 minutes later and there were only 2. Now, they're listed online as sold out for that store.

Yes, I was pretty floored that there was no DVI cable included becuse I know the LG L1950B comes with one, and it's a lesser model in LG's line. I ordered one though for just $10 online.

I haven't watched a film on it, so I'll have to see if I have any issues with the black levels.
