After reading some of the reviews, I thought that this has got to be the most mediocre product in the world. So I almost talked myself out of this purchase. Yet the price point was so compelling that I figured, what the heck? Amazon has a great electronics return policy.
Some reviewers have commented on problems connecting their PC and having the image be truncated at the borders. After experiencing this problem myself, I did the unthinkable and read the manual, which is included on a CD accompanying the monitor. It makes it clear that the HDMI is for devices that produce video output only. Now you might say, this is a dealbreaker, and you’d be wrong, especially considering the nominal use to connect a PC and perhaps 1-2 other HDMI devices. There is a DVI input, specifically aimed at handling output from a PC. A simple HDMI to DVI cable (available on here or cheaply at a, which has an HDMI port, place like MonoPrice) will do the trick. I already had the HDMI to DVI adapter sitting here at home.
So I am now able to connect both my Zotac MAG barebone system (it has an HDMI port) and my MacBook Pro (it has an included mini-DVI to DVI adapter) to this display. I’m particularly impressed with the video quality, not to mention the ability to switch easily between the PC and Satellite TV or DVD player.
There’s no doubt that this might not be the absolute best HDTV monitor available in terms of picture quality. But it’s certainly one of the best in its class. I basically was looking for a sub-$400 monitor to replace my computer monitor upstairs and actually constrained my search to this price range ($300-$400).
So this might be one of those times where it pays to read the manual. I know that notion is falling a bit out of fashion these days. My review is probably closer to 4 stars but there are some particularly negative reviews here that need to be averaged out.

Well I actually wanted just the monitor, model W2357v, and instead of Amazon for $[...], Frys sells it for $[...]. However, when I got there, Frys only had an open box V model left, and they reduced it to $300. I am not one to buy open box electronics, because they are usually someone elses headaches. So instead, I went with the LG M2762D-PF 27″ HDTV. The only difference is the monitor has a slightly faster screen response time than the TV. My Computer is a built buy me, AMD Athalon 6000 2 core processor with liquid quiet cool, Asus motherboard with 8 gig of pc 6700 DDR II, and an NVIDA 8500GT Graphics card, HD. I came home, removed my old relic and connected this LG through the DVI hookup video card to monitor. I turned it on and set the input to DVI and booted the computer to Windows 7 64 Bit. Shazam. Right out of the box it was stunning with no adjustments. The sound is not bad either, so I used a Y cable to tie the LG Monitor sound to my Bose Companion 3 Speakers. I could have left it alone, but you know how we guys are. I set all the monitor settings at 60, because the gamma was a little too bright, and then I went to my NVIDA control panel and made my final adjustments. This product is well worth the money, and I would buy it again. For those that say the text is not clear on this monitor, they must be using inferior video card, or inferior cables. DO NOT BY THIS MONITOR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO CARD THAT SUPPORTS 1920 X 1080 RESOLUTION! It would be an injustice! By the way, one other thing I forgot; on the initial boot, my 8500GT Video Card automatically set the resolution to 1920 x 1080. Text, videos and everything else is sharp and crystal clear on this monitor. Now I know what I’ll get my daughter for Christmas. I highly recommend this machine, for the fact that I bought the first LG 60 inch 1080P Plasma and it is now over 4 years old without a glitch. LG is top notch, and has excellent quality control. They let very few bad ones get away!

I’m using this on my PC along with an ATI HD4650 video card. This looks AMAZING in 1080p on my PC. If you’re planning on using this for a 1080p monitor you will NOT be disappointed.
Another reviewer complained about text and pixel pitch- He couldn’t be more wrong. If you plan to use this for your PC monitor you need to make sure your video card supports 1080p resolution!!!!
I’ve also got this connected to a Comcast HD Cable box- also looks great and works well.
The built in speakers are pretty much junk- other than that, this is a great buy!

Love this TV. The HD channels really pop off the screen. Easy to set up and use. Only con is sound. For such rich visuals, it’s pretty poor audio. THe only way to hook up sound is to use the optical audio out into a receiver, then out to speakers. I’m on it.
