I bought this Monitor, took it home, and set it up. I used the HDMI to HDMI cable. The Monitor wouldn't come out of Power Save mode. At least I originally thought that was the problem. (Explanation later). I took it back, and exchanged it for another one. The second Monitor seemed like the HDMI connector on the Monitor was loose, or just didn't seem to fit right. So I exchanged it for a third and final Monitor. The connections were good on this Monitor. I went ahead and waited to see if the Monitor would ever come out of Power Saving mode, and show the screen. It does come out of Power Saving mode, but it doesn't happen until Windows desktop has just started to load up. BTW, if I use the DVI-D to DVI-D cable, the Power Saving mode is not a problem. It let's me see the boot up screens. With the HDMI cable, if I ever need to press F8 or something, I would just have to guess the right time to press it on bootup or restart. I went into the Nvidia Control Panel and made any changes to any settings that pertains to the HDMI connection. Now to the subject of LG Tech. Support! I can say with all honesty that they are the worst, and the most unknowledgeable people I have ever talked to. They could not help me with any of my problems. They just made things worse, and I had to undo their mistakes. They did try though, LOL! I would like to mention that I got alot of my answers to my problems here in the Evga Forums. Either in posts or by PM's. I was able to solve the rest. I tested the Monitor with DVD movies and a few games. I have to say the movies and games look stunning, very crisp, and just beautiful to look at. No ghosting, lag, or dead pixels. the size of the Monitor is perfect. 30" would have been too big, and 24" too small. I do have a large desk, and it can fit up to 30 inches, but 27 is just perfect. Besides, I don't want to spend a fortune on those 30 inchers. The default brightness setting on this Monitor is 100%. It lit up the whole room. It felt like the Sun had dropped from the sky and landed right in front of me. I set the brightness to 60%, and that is just fine. The touch controls are not a problem. Just set it, and forget it! When done with the touch control, I just needed to wipe off the fingerprints.
 
Pros:
-No dead pixels, lag, or ghosting
-It's absolutely beautiful visually
-Monitors outer frame and stand are very shiny, and look really nice
-The stand itself is solid and sturdy
 
Cons:
-Terrible Technical Support
-Takes longer for the Monitor to come out of Power Save mode when an HDMI cable is used, when comp is turned on or restarted
-Easily collects dust and fingerprints on the outer frame and stand (I bought an LCD cleaner kit that comes with the solution spray, and soft cloth, which works great to clean off the dust and fingerprints)
 
Conclusion:
Overall I am very impressed with this Monitor, even though it has a couple minor flaws, as mentioned. I plan on keeping this Monitor, and hope it lasts for years to come. I also hope that LG will hire people who have some knowledge about the products that they are supporting.
 
* I would like to thank the following Evga Forum members for all their great help in getting my Monitor set up, in posts and/or PM's:  Jeong and Brad_Hawthorne
 
 

About time you posted something! Glad to hear you like it. On a side note, their level 1 support isn't the greatest which I certainly concur w/. But their RMA service is pretty decent considering the refurbished ones they send out aren't half ass bad and you won't pay a penny for the whole process which will relieve stress of some people. Enjoy.

Strange..

LG tech support is generally very satisfying, goes something like this:

"Try turning it upside down and shaking it."
"Nothing? Ok, bring it in and we'll get you a new one right away."

They know the quality (or lack of) their products.

dude not cool and very UNTRUE

my lg tv is very HIGH quality

my LG BLU RAY PLAYER is very HIGH quality

my lg Dare phone is very good quality (the only issue is speaker phone sucks but most phones have that issue)

LG is a pretty special situation. Basically, they're the main suppliers of panels for other non-production brands. Apple and Dell are two very good examples. This is obviously testiment to the high levels of quality LG are capable of producing. However, we've got to ask ourselves the question: what makes the price and specs differ so much from LG branded displays and the rebranded versions? The answer is a much lower bar in terms of quality control. The quality control process is much cheaper and the testing is simplified, thus ensuring less workhours on the final product and therefor a lower retail price.
 
Now this doesn't really hurt the consumer, seeing how this is all part of LGs retail sections plan. They've already calculated that replacing X percent of supplied monitors is cheaper than altering the quality control process (at a panel stage, meaning factory testing, not designflaws).
 
Finally what this means is, my friend who works in retail (electronics, large multinational company) ends up with a bunch of LG TVs and monitors that they've replaced (the LG directive is to replace everything that's taken back that's not dead pixels or something obvious enough to fix in less than a minute). This is an added perk for my friend and his co-workers who are free to purchase these faulty monitors at a heavily discounted price after a report has been submitted.
 
I don't hate on LG, quite the opposite - i'm not lying when i say they make the best retail panels in the world - i'm just saying, walk into any store that retails LG and ask to see the backroom and you'll know what i mean. Buying LG is like buying anything that's "too cheap for those specs", you might end up having to take it back, but eventually you'll get the product you've payed for.

ok input but what do you say about the high priced LG monitor/tvs?

like mine for example mine cost 800 bucks (now 600) for a 32" tv 120 true motion 2.7ms  70k and S-IPS

perhaps on certain things like monitors without the tv tuners they may but mine cost an arm and a leg so i expect alot outt of it

Of course. I was referring my entire posting to the fact that OP had to go through three displays to find one that's working.

Great review.  I have two of these monitors, they were part of my home theater set-up.  I had a 1920x1200 but because HDMI is 1920x1080 I had to "downgrade" my resolution LOL. I had a 24" Septer or somthing like that.. it was fine, but these LG's are great.  Very crisp. HDMI support and 1920x1080 was a big plus for me.  

I run all of my Home theater equipment (xbox 360, PS3, LAN pc, HTPC, Gaming PC, Cable Box) all through a HDMI matrix that allowes me to put any image on any screen.  My two LG's, a Sony projector, and a Integra receiver are the sellections of screens.  

One thing thats also quite nice about these screens, I dont know if its a normal thing for a HDMI screen, but there is a headphone jack on the back witch allows my to have sound on my Klipsh Pro Media 2.1's at the LG's by the keyboards and mice. This allows me to get sound from not only the computers but also get sound from the PS3, 360, and cable box at the desk.

I chose these screens against the competition because of my personal trust in LG's better products, the Specs, reviews, and the fact that the amount of "frame" from the LCD to the end of the monitor was less than the competition's, making these screens more suitable for duel use in the future.  

Its been maybe 6 months, give or take, sence I've had these monitors and Im sad to announce that I may have seen a dead pixel on one of them today.  Ill didnt get time to investigate because I was playing Crysis at the time, but I may investigate tomorow. 

Heres a HORRIBLE picture (thanks iPhone, not) of what it looks like.  Ill do a proper picture session/review later 




Xray:  That HDMI lagg you see is rather normal Ive found.  If you restart the computer from inside the OS you will get to see the BIOS, witch means overclocking sessions are just as painless as they would be on a DVI connection.

Just a side note, you do realize that HD is broadcast, by definition and regulation, in 24 Hearz.  Its the response time that matters, not the refresh rate.  Good example - I have a Sharp Aquis from about 2004, its like a 17 in SD TV.  It runs at 60 heartz and will ghost so badly you WILL get a headache.
