LG W2353V-PF

LG insists its W2353V-PF is based on a true eight-bit TN panel, a feature that would make it unique in this roundup, so we were surprised at how poorly the display performed with several of our DisplayMate benchmarks. We were also irritated by the...

Two-millisecond gray-to-gray response time

Inconsistent color uniformity; peak whites appeared with pinkish tinge; no digital video cable included

The monitor had trouble with our other grayscale tests, as well, with peak white exhibiting a pinkish tinge. We noted a similar shift toward pink in facial skin tones when we studied high-res digital photographs of faces. And we encountered...

LG Flatron W2053TQ

The LG Flatron W2053TQ can be found priced from $150 to $180. The monitor includes a couple of useful eco-friendly options, and it has decent movie and game performance. Its matte screen also allows dark details to be seen more easily than the HP 2009m...

The LG Flatron W2053TQ's eco-friendly options lower energy costs, and it has decent movie and game performance.

The LG Flatron W2053TQ'sOSD is too difficult to navigate and the buttons are too sensitive. Also, the only ergonomic option is screen tilt.

The LG Flatron W2053TQ has useful power consumption options, but a badly designed onscreen display.

Review: LG Electronics W2353V-PF LCD

This well-rounded display showed nice image quality in our tests, and includes a handy auto-adjust button that controls brightness in dim conditions.

The display includes an AutoBright function and a sensor that can detect ambient light and adjust the screen brightness accordingly. Using the control worked fairly well, though in some circumstances (such as a room that was just somewhat dim) it was...

LG W2353V

Great for movie viewing, this 23-inch screen is packed with features. We just wish it were adjustable and didn't cost so much.

Great features for movie viewing; nice design; easy-to-use onscreen display

Has trouble displaying reds: no adjustability; high price for its size class

We were a little thrown off by this screen’s trouble displaying reds, and we would have appreciated USB ports and some speakers, but for an LCD that packs this many extras and makes movie viewing so pleasurable, it’s not a bad performer. We just wish...

Consumer review by: pd55 (cnet.com)

"I'd recommend this screen for the aversge user."

This is overall a good monitor and the default setting are good enough for the average user.

The default set up is sufficient enough to where you do not have to play with the settings. The colour is great and text displays perfectly.

The On screen controls are hard to use and it is not as intuituive as it could be. If you could use the keyboard arrow keys it would have made a big differance.

"A Terrible Deal"

I have had countless problems with this monitor going into analog power saving mode on it's own. It won't change back to normal so you have a black screen and you can't even use your computer. Just use this link....

It Looks Nice

Analog Power saving mode says it all

Works great.

i'd buy 2 more for eye-infinity if could.

Looks good and paid only $200 for it from tiger direct new. Hdmi + 2ms response was much haves for me and this monitor has yet to let me down

None to say really. The touch sensitive buttons can take a lil bit to get used to but work fine for me

Product Specifications

The W53 SMART monitor series with cutting-edge SMART technologies that offer top picture quality while greatly reducing eyestrain during extended use.Another of the W53 series' SMART features is cinema mode, which eliminates distractions when watching online videos. This unique setting blacks out everything except for the video clip, focusing the viewer's attention on the desired content and not on distracting ads. Continuing the working smart and reducing eyestrain theme, these monitors also include a timer that reminds users to take a break from their work at predetermined intervals. Reminders can easily be set to once per hour or at specific times through the same easy-to-use interface that controls the monitor's settings.Helping further eliminate distractions, a proximity sensor under the W53's bezel detects when a hand approaches the screen and activates lights that make buttons easy to find when they are needed. When not in use, the lights disappear, giving the monitor a sleeker, cleaner look.
