Yet, the LG seemed to have more natural colors. It has the performance, features, and the looks to make it well worth its price.The 23 Samsung that Best Buy also offers has a brighter display. If price is a concern, however, you can't go wrong with the E2350V. If you're looking for an LED monitor, go with the PX2370 because of its superior performance. The E2350V also has unique features like an ambient light sensor and a headphone jack. That's $20 less than the XL2370 and $30 less than the PX2370.The Flatron E2350V's panel depth measures 0.65 inch, which is slightly more than the XL2370's considerably thin 0.6-inch depth. Both monitors have similarly thin profiles, with virtually the same physical dimensions however, with its transparent neck and edges the XL2370 has an aesthetic flare the E2350V can't match. Lastly, the design/features.The 23-inch LG Flatron E2350V looks like it was modeled directly after the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370. Brightness wasnt a big selling point for me, even though the LG does brighten up quite well itself.
![]() ![]() The OSD also includes controls for color temperature-including individual RGB controls-gamma control, a volume control for the headphone jack, and an ambient light feature called Auto Bright that adjusts the display's brightness depending on the amount of ambient light in the room. LG also includes a Black Level control-which includes two settings: low and bright-that affords the E2350V a lower black level than most monitors have. With each new menu screen, the buttons alter their function, acting instead as the "up," "down," or "previous menu" buttons, making navigating the menu a simple endeavor.Pressing the Menu button allows you to navigate through Brightness, Contrast, and Sharpness controls. However, the E2350V and the PX2370 allowed virtually the same amount of light through their respective screens in our dark-screen test. Thanks to its black-level control feature, the LG Flatron E2350V demonstrated a low black level in our grayscale tests lower even than the PX2370. The display posted a composite score of 94 on CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based performance tests, just below the XL2370's 96, and the PX2370's 97. This continues the trend of more and more monitor vendors moving toward 16:9 from 16:10 because high-definition content-in particular 1080p movies-can fit onto a 1,920x1,080-pixel screen in full-screen mode without stretching the image.We tested the LG Flatron E2350V with its DVI connection. Each preset provides a preview of its settings, by dividing the screen in half: on the left is what it's currently set to, and on the right is what it could look like with the preset.The LG Flatron E2350V's 16:9 aspect ratio supports a "Full HD" native resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels. The road edge on the right side is marked by a1" on DVD and a number of 1080p movie files from Microsoft's WMV HD Showcase. However, thanks to its low black level, the Flatron E2350V had a much higher tested contrast ratio of 1,355:1, compared with the 1,008:1 and 948:1 of the XL2370 and PX2370, respectively.We used the LG Flatron E2350V's movie preset to check out "Kill Bill: Vol. Overall, the two monitors performed similarly in DisplayMate, with the PX2370 getting a slight edge, especially in color tests.The LG Flatron E2350V achieved a brightness score of 197 candelas per square meter (cd/M2), much lower than the XL2370's 344 cd/M2 and still lower than the PX2370's 246 cd/M2. ![]() Based on our formula, the LG Flatron E2350V would cost $8.57 per year to run, compared with the PX2370's $7.65 and the XL2370's $9.96 per year. Standby power is where these contests are won, however, and the E2350V's standby power was a fairly high 1.07 watts, compared with the XL2370's even higher 1.42 watts and the PX2370's very low 0.27 watt. With a calibrated center brightness of 200 cd/m2, the E2350V draws about 24.2 watts the PX2370 draws 20 watts, and the XL2370 draws 21 watts. The LG Flatron E2350V uses a TN panel, and when it is viewed from the sides or below, we perceived the screen to darken about 6 inches off from center.In our power consumption tests, the LG Flatron E2350V had an on/default power draw of 26.3 watts only slightly more than the PX2370's 25.01 and 5 watts lower than the XL2370's 30.09 watts. Most monitors use TN panels, which get overly bright or overly dark in parts of the screen when viewed from nonoptimal angles. Depending on its panel type, picture quality at nonoptimal angles varies.
