Best bang for buck monitor out there. I calibrated mine because I need really accurate results; excellent image quality, colour depth (the calibration log showed it surpassed sRGB) and smooth, silky text. I use mine with a MacMini and I am extremely pleased with the image quality.
The speakers are not great, probably ok for podcast listening but I kind of expected this.
So the monitor is great, which is just what I was looking for... but the ergo stand; oh man! This is something I didn't know I needed. It makes the monitor even better in looks and versatility.
Simple, slick and modern, great image quality and colour rendition at a reasonable price. The monitor is replacing a 24" Eizo that lasted 10 years (still works but needs calibrating more often these days), I'll be happy if this LG lasts at least half that.
