Introduction

LG’s latest 22-inch monitor positively swaggers with a very high dynamic contrast of 10.000:1 and a fast response time of 2 ms. This, coupled with the elegant piano lacquer design, means that the monitor clearly appeals to users on the gaming and entertainment sectors.

In addition, LG is advertising the model as having a 39 percent larger colour space as compared with conventional LCD monitors, which is made possible thanks to a special backlight. Thus, the NTSC colour space is covered up to 100 percent.

Our detailed review will show what the new 22-inch gem is capable of and for whom the LG L227WT is suitable. The graphics cards we used were an Nvidia GeForce 6600GT and an XFX GeForce 8800GTS Extreme.

Scope of supply

The package contains the DVI, power and D-Sub cables, two CDs, the base (made up of three parts), a microfibre cloth, a Getting Started Guide in English, the guarantee card and of course the monitor itself.

This is how you save on transport costs: the box of the LG L227WT is little bigger than the monitor itself, …
