General Comments
I bought this monitor about five months ago for home use, for mostly high resolution graphics and hardcore gaming. At First I was quite impressed with the perfectly flat display of the screen and the unbelievably crisp picture, until it died on me after only two days. The picture for no reason went out of focus and the display area went askewed so bad that I was unable to even read text on the screen. After LG replaced the monitor, the USB HUB on the back of the second monitor did not work and yet again I had to get it replaced. The third one I received worked great, with absolutely no problems for about four months until the picture started to jitter and go fuzzy on the sides and corners of the screen.
Today is the day that I got my forth one replaced by LG, and again I instantly had problems with it as well. First off, the monitor that they sent me was not even the same model, but one that they thought was an equivalent, which it almost is, except for the fact that the USB HUB on the back only has two ports instead of four, but thats not the part that annoys me. The fact that the model they sent me(which happens to be the Flatron F900B) is even worse then the one I sent to them for replacement is what puzzles me. The major and most significant problems with this model are that it will not display most resolutions properly, and the ones it does display the jittering is almost unbearable.
So, what I am basicly trying to say is, make sure you know what your getting before you buy this product. I am not saying this is a terrible monitor, for the time I had it while it was working properly, it was the most crisp monitor I have ever owned. The only thing that I find hard to deal with is the constant need to replace it. Mabye some day before my warranty expires they will give me a model that will last, but only time will tell...
P.S.
If Anyone else has this kind of problem with these line of LG monitors, please e-mail me, I share your pain
