Description:
The LG L1942P-BF is a 19 in, flat panel computer monitor.
Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $240.
This display features a 1280x1024 native resolution.
Weighs 7.7 lbs.
Pros:
Its wide viewing angle (176 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time.
Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons:
Has only 1280x1024 resolution.
This is not out of line with the product's price, but is lower than the average monitor on the market today.
Suitability:
Made for those who want a spacious screen that will not hog their entire desk.
The 2 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.
Value:
In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this monitor has great features for the money.
In fact, you would typically pay about 30% more to get a flat panel monitor with roughly the same viewable size.
Suggestions:
(1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation.
(2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
