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.
The Iiyama ProLite XB2776QS just managed to scrape its way to a five-star score! It has a great set of hardware features, colour fidelity is excellent and contrast is above average. However, there's still some room for improvement, as the screen response time is a bit too low for gamers.
The LG Flatron E2351VQ is a 23" Full HD monitor with good contrast, a nice design and a reasonable price tag. Unfortunately, the disappointing overdrive mode stops this display delivering the kind of responsiveness you'd expect from a real "2 ms" panel. It therefore can't hope for higher than a three-star score in our review.
