Advantages: 22", Widescreen, good looking, excellent image quality, good moving image Disadvantages: No height adjustment, erm... it wasn't free?
...came across a range of LG widescreen TFT monitors on eBuyer that looked suitable. The L226WTQ-SF stood out due to its 3000:1 contrast ratio (the ratio of the brightest and darkest images a display can reproduce), but that wasn't the only good feature. The specs quoted a 2 ms response time (the amount of time the display takes to change from transparent to opaque), which was important to me, though unimportant if all you do is office work and surf ... ...up was a breeze.

Advantages: Great quality, fast pixel reframe Disadvantages: No DVI cable included, no UBS ports
...buy a DVI cable as LG only supply you with an analogue cable.
One really cool function is the EZ Zooming button which allows you to change resolution instantaneoulsy. It works perfectly and is a fine feature to a great monitor. The image performance is spectacular! The monitor had no trouble displaying small fonts, and colors were vivid and uniform across the scale with no evidence of tinting, overall providing a sharp and bright picture perfect ... ...and the moving images were fantastic. Frame rate did not slow down (thanks to my great graphics card) and each unit and structure was detailed and realistic in motion. Gameplay was smooth and the sound was perfect accenting the gameplay images.
A great gaming and work monitor with superb picture quality. ...
