The LG L226WTQ comes in two colours, silver and black. The bezel around the LCD panel is matte silver; with the back of the unit and base stand are in a glossy black finish. It looks quite attractive and fits well with other silver/black PC accessories. The monitor features a set of 6 buttons, one on the right of the monitor to power on/off and 5 others which are, EZ Zooming, Menu, f-Engine, Source and Auto/Set. Using EZ Zoom allows you to change the resolution and the source button lets you change the monitor input and the f-Engine button allows you to choose from a variety of preset image modes. This monitor seems to be perfect for gamers, mainly due to the very fast 2 ms pixel response time. There is no ghosting apparent during gaming. And this is one of the most important aspects of the LG L226WTQ monitor as many other models LCDs still display some level of ghosting during fast scenes. Both DVI and 15 pin D-Sub connections are provided, and any type of graphics card is compatible. If you have a Blu-ray or HD DVD player you can view HDCP content over the DVI connection. The LCD panel is supported by a stand which enables altering of the vertical tilt of the monitor to your convenience. A small clip is attached to the back of the stand allowing any power/signal cables to be clipped. With a resolution of 1680x1050 overall images and text appear crisp and vibrant. If you have a powerful graphics card and do plenty of gaming then this LG L226WTQ is exactly what you need. It is quite hard to find fault with this monitor as the image quality is superb and the general agreement among users is tremendously positive. No comparison with other monitors.
