LG Electronics Monitor 22MR410-B, 22 Inch, Full HD 1080p, 100Hz, 5ms GtG, VA Panel, AMD FreeSync, Smart Energy Saving, Anti-Glare, HDMI, Matte Black

I wanted a second monitor to mount above my main one, for my sim racing. This monitor will be used to display timing information, and to show snooker on TV when I'm not racing. When first out of the box, I was disappointed - the picture was lacking in sharpness, brightness or contrast, so my first feeling was that I might be sending it back. I mean, I know you get what you pay for, and this one is not too expensive, but still it needed to look better than this. I tried connecting via HDMI and D-Sub, with no difference in the quality. I also had not found any way to change the contrast or brightness, but I might have missed that in the instructions. Eventually, just as I was deciding this was as good as it gets, I pressed the only button on the back, thinking it would switch it off, and it brought up the settings option. Duh. After switching off the energy saving, and raising the 'super resolution', the picture was instantly transformed into a very good picture. And when connected to HDMI, the refresh rate can be changed in 'Advanced display settings' in Windows, and now, it looks good at 60, 75 or 100Hz. OK, I understand the aim for energy conservation, but at the same time, LG almost lost my faith, as the quality of picture is just too washed out when you first look at the default picture. I used my plug in wattage monitor to see that, on high resolution and with energy saving turned off, this monitor is using less than 14 Watts while the snooker is on TV, which is very good indeed. Compared to my 15yr old 19 inch monitor, which weighed over 8Kg and used 35W, this 21.5 inch LG is just 2Kg in weight and uses less than 14W, so with just a couple of setting changes, I'm now glad I bought it. Only one other complaint: - there are never any wall mount screws provided - you could at least tell me what diameter screw and what the max safe length should be. (It needs four M4 screws about 10mm length for anyone that wants to know). But in the end it's worth 5 stars for value and quality, once it's set up to your liking.

bought for my son for christmas for his gaming , its perfect , lovely clear and good price . great function , easy to install and use

As described and delivered promptly

Not that "cheap and cheerful" is a bad thing here - it's just that the stand has one tilt mode (up & down) and no indicator LEDs. So, basic and functional. That's not a problem either - just an indication of where monitor tech has moved to, where a capable HD 22" monitor is priced at almost a throwaway price (£59.00 at the time of ordering). It looks fine with an HD input and showing good color rendition (in "Photo" mode), decent contrast and brightness pretty much out-of-the-box.

Great screen for the price. Nice and clear and the stand is very stable. Not played with any settings, looks fine for my use straight out of the box. . Only regret is that I didn't buy larger.

Does what it says, set up time under 5min. Happy with the product

a bit grainy - bought for extra work screen but is just too low quality picture. Colours feel a little washed out and dull - No height adjust or speakers. You get what you pay for and this is just on the lower end. Now looking for a QHD monitor to replace as it annoys both me and my partner

This is a great size screen for working on PC , nice colours and very clear a perfect screen

Very good quality Lg monitor money well spent, unfortunately know built-in speaker. Recommend
