LG Flatron 2320A 23" LCD Media Station Reviewed

Posted by timothy on Friday September 17, 2004 @02:11PM from the please-send-me-one dept.

Julio writes "TechSpot has taken an in-depth look at LG's Flatron 2320A 23" LCD, you should know however that calling this a monitor would be an understatement, this is a multi-media workstation. The package consists of a 23" widescreen LCD color monitor, and a multi-media station that lets you connect its beautiful flat screen to your PC and a number of devices at the same time (X-Box, etc.). Feel yourself warned though, luxury does come at a cost."

The review sucked and is not worth reading. This guy is obviously trying to just make money off of advertising to a slashdot-sized audience. Do a whois on techspot.com..

You would think the guy would be smarter than to choose the handle "Julio" before pulling this.
a $50 LCD would be more impressive by h00manist · 2004-09-17 14:20 · Score: 5, Insightful

it's an awesome monitor. some people will buy it.

having moved to brazil, the perspective for everything changed.

i see from here a vast need for lower costing, not higher featured, everything.

YMMV, my 2 cents, etc

For 800$... by Phosphor3k · 2004-09-17 14:32 · Score: 5, Insightful

You can get a 20" dell 2100FP that has 4 inputs with one button switching between them(1 DVI, 1 VGA, 1 s-video and 1 composite) AND it supports PIP. Seems like a better price/performance ratio to me. Though that thing that Julio is pimping is widescreen, still doesnt seem worth it.

It's not the refresh rate, it's the pixel response time. Some LCDs are really bad for gaming (look at older laptops for good examples), while some are great. Look for ones with a rating of 20ms or lower and you should not see any blurring.

Btw, most LCDs do run at "60Hz", but not every pixel needs to be toggled every cycle, so it's not exactly the best way to measure them. Other than ms, I'm not sure what they use now. Maybe we should have some sort of "number of pixel changes per second per pixel" or something. ;)

Unlike Brazil where you could use a normal monitor that already costs less than $50 the lack of desk space in Africa makes a sub $10 LCD a necessity

For 3 inches less you can get one with a computer inside, and you save ~$500: iMac

....did this POS qualify for an article? I've seen more informative, less self-serving tripe lining the cat litter pan. I've submitted better to /. only to have it rejected and pop up 2 days later when someone else submitted it. Excuse me?
