Conclusion
|
On paper, the LG Flatron IPS237L looks to be full of good ideas, but this monitor proved rather less convincing in practice. That said, it would still be suitable for non-gamers or anyone who's not bothered about 100% accurate colours. Plus, screen viewing angles are nice and wide, and MHL support is a rare feature in the current monitor market ... if that's something you'll find use for. |
Despite a rather disappointing contrast ratio (which is a common problem for IPS displays), the Asus PA246Q is an excellent monitor. It combines a great design, accurate colour reproduction, wide viewing angles and a fast enough display for gaming. Better still, it sells at a very accessible price for a monitor aimed at professional users. |
