LG L1970HR LCD Flatron monitor review

by Mark Shapiro

Looking to make your video look good? Check out this great new LCD monitor from LG.

Great for gamers - great for video - excellent for almost anything you can throw at it. Its 2ms refresh rate is incredible and made my videos look good without any lag or trails. Very impressive. You don't need motion to appreciate its advantages - the LG monitor made my digital photos jump out of the screen and scream to be seen.

It was very easy to set up and didn't need any tweaking to get the colors looking very good. You can't raise or lower the height but you can change the screen angle somewhat.

Model : L1970HR
 19" (19.0" VIS) Active Matrix TFT LCD Monitor
 Highlights : Introducing the new L1970HR LCD Flatron monitor from LG; the slimmest flatscreen in its class. Its f-ENGINE technology features the first LCD picture-enhancing chip to provide not only astounding color, but superb contrast and image quality.
