New Update

This plug-n-play 17" flat-screen monitor gets full marks

for its gorgeous, aesthetic looks, and attractive metallic color. Its flat

picture tube with 0.24-mm Slot pitch leaves a crystal clear image on the screen,

sharp enough to be viewed from fairly oblique angles. It can handle resolutions

up to 1,280x1,024 as long as your graphics card supports them.

The monitor has a viewable area of 16" diagonal. Its OSD

(on-screen display) can be viewed in six languages: English, Spanish, German,

Italian, French, and Portuguese. It comes with 36 display modes, 11 of which are

factory-preset, popular video modes.

The monitor settings can be adjusted through its OSD. It

provides moiré correction to enhance focus. The screen shape can be corrected

by balancing options like pincushion, trapezoid, parallelogram, tilt, corner

top, and corner bottom. The color adjustment option has two preset colors–6,500

k and 9,300 k. If the color appears uneven, you can adjust the overall purity

level by using the Purity option. When it gets blurry or brightened, you have an

option to change the video level from 0.7 V to 1 V and improve the image. Plus,

it supports all the regular functions like brightness, contrast, size, shape,

position, and degauss functions.

The Flatron also comes with a pretty good built-in audio

system, which doesn’t distort sound even at higher volumes. The Control Panel

let’s you adjust volume, bass, treble, balance, recording, and has another

button to mute the sound. It also has a built-in microphone and two jacks for an

extra microphone and headphone.

The Flatron employs a W-ARAS (Wide Anti-Reflective

Anti-static) anti-glare treatment, which LG claims reduces light reflection and

transmission rates to the lowest. We tested the monitor with the Nokia monitor

test. This test subjects the monitors to extreme conditions, which may not be

used in day-to-day functions. The overall test results were good with sharp and

well-focused images, and there was no moiré even at higher resolutions.

However, we did notice a slight horizontal misconvergence between red-blue

patterns at resolutions higher than 800x600, in the lower right-hand corner of

the screen. Also, in the screen regulation test the screen-size expands, when it

turns completely black from white. If the screen regulation is good, this

expansion should be minimal.

Overall, a good monitor to own and use, if you can afford it.
