Hey, Aleks, today I saw the second Philips of your list and the blue glowing around the monitor is not something I like too much. maybe it's cool while your are not using a monitor, but....
That is all i can say.

I like non IPS LG screens too, had a 22" 1680 x 1050 for 3 years. That comes at a good price too.

Only thing I hate is the color calibration I have to change and brightness :P

Aleksander · Jan 25, 2013, 05:59 PM

I changed port from VGA to HDMI port and now I don't get the screen showing it all .
What am I doing wrong?

I get some black parts of the screen, like it can support more resolution than that.
