So, the LG DM2350D is a decent PC monitor and a tolerable TV so long as you factor in the Freeview HD issue. Our testing went smoothly, but in our experience, you're at the mercy of PC video card hardware and software vagaries if you roll with HDMI. It's quite common to suffer from scanning problems when controlling a monitor from a PC via HDMI. However, for PCs, DVI and DisplayPort are preferable. For the most part, these are well catered for, with a pair of HDMI ports, VGA, SCART and component connections. The final PC-specific 2D image issue involves video inputs. But it's a little disappointing in the context of LG's claims of increased brightness in 3D mode. It's not actually an issue when viewing in conventional 3D mode. Overall brightness is another weak point. If you want really broad viewing angles and accurate colours for video editing, you'd better look elsewhere. Still, there's no escaping the LG DM2350D's fundamental TNness. Like most TN screens, pixel response is excellent, too, making this screen a great choice for keen gamers. The result is richer, more saturated colours than you get with a TN panel powered by an old school CCFL lamp. Part of the explanation is the use of an LED backlight. That said, TN technology is always improving, and LG's latest effort is one of the better TN screens we've seen. It's the cheapest of the commonly used LCD panel technologies, and it typically translates into narrower viewing angles, reduced contrast and less accurate colours than more expensive alternatives such as IPS and VA panels. At this price point – and bearing in mind the built-in tuner and 3D support - it's no surprise to find that the underlying technology is TN. It's a 23-inch panel with a Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel grid. As a monitor for a desktop or portable PC, the LG DM2350D is pretty much par for the course.
