Following last month's launch of a 19-inch 10,000:1 Digital Fine Contrast ratio display, LG has announced the launch of the W2252TQ 22-inch Widescreen monitor with the same contrast ratio.
Like its smaller brother, the display is "powered by LG's picture enhancing Chipset, F-Engine," and LG claims the latest display has the "best image definition and colour reproduction available today."

Tell ya what! Everybody pool their money and buy me one of these bad boys that way I'll be able to write a good review for you all ;-) .
I'll even let you come over and watch it with me!
Lol. I like all the LG electronics I have bought but it has to be 1080P for me too so when they have this on 24" then I will consider buying depending on the power consumption.

No it's not, but then, it's not really intended for HD content. (No HDMI input, not even S-Video). It's basically just a PC monitor (no tuner). The response time is awfully good though; at 2ms that beats even some real HD monitors.
The LG website suggests a MSRP of $369.99, but I can get it here in Canada for $299.99 at 'The Source By Circuit City' (the replacement store for the USA's 'Radio Shack'), although I'd have to cough up another $52 for a DVI cable to hook it up to my PC.
... you'll see on the bottom right-hand-side of the page, a pic of the PC connection cable, the "Dynex 6.6' Digital Interface Cable DX-DVI2M", for a whopping $51.99!
It's amazing to me, DVDBack23, how retailers can get away with these prices. It's the same with HDMI cables for HD TVs/Monitors.
I bought a 'Belkin' brand HDMI 1.3 (1080P) cable for $24.97 at a local Walmart, and yet you can easily pay $140 for a 'Monster' brand cable of the very same specs. (Both have gold-plated contacts).
I think that's why it's important to keep informed about what's out there, and why sites like this one here, are an excellent front-line defence against consumer rip-offs.
(BTW Andre, thank you for the many news items you bring our way!) :)
