Hi there,
With regards to the LG monitor. This is a model we sold in my workplace before, and afraid to say that it's native resolution is 1280 X 768 or 1280 X 720, im not 100% on this, but sure that is correct. Also, the model we had suffered really bad with image retention on the screen with an AOL Broadband screen saver that ran on it. (I know that sounds crazy, A screen saver causing image retention, but thats 100% fact).
However, other than that, it has all the connections under the sun, and also looks wise is very pleasing on the eye. And for £250?
I'd defo go for it. At that price, it can't be bad!
Hope this info helps.
Regards
Mick
