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 e-mail: Rydum@shaw.ca

I recently bought the BRAND NEW LG F900B Flatron monitor, which I learnt the only reason they call it a flatron is that's the state of your wallet after buying one.
I plugged it in, and for 15 minutes it was the most brilliant monitor I have ever seen. Clear picture, vibrant colors and 19" of sheer bliss...untill it started to pack up....yip...15 minutes later.
I made like a camera that kept fading in and out, zooming in, losing focus and such. I had to take it back, only to wait 2 more days to get another one, of which I have a sickening feeling it's going to do the same thing.
LG should stick to making washing machines because their PC Technology would make a Die-Hard Flintstones fan laugh out load.sdanimel. on 19th Jul 2003
I know exacly what you mean. I have LG 995 (not the plus version but it's almost the same) and it STINKS. very poor contrast of text (the white is grey and the black text is also a bit darker grey) no matter how you tweak the settings. A noticable moire and blairness. so it's flat, so what? my table is also perfectly flat and I'm not using it as my screen.

To the person who did the review on the 995 FT plus. You have a problem with your videocard or something, because I'm enjoying my 995 FT for over a year now. No problems what-so-ever.
And the monitor that they sent you, the F900B is the replacement model for the 995 FT. Rydum, you are a moron...you bought a quality monitor, now all you need to do is buy quality videocards.

I've encountered none of the problems that you mention and I really like that monitor a lot. It was the only flat CRT at the time that didn't have these terrible stabilizer lines. There are a couple of issues that I do find irritating (well, slightly): 1. Colors could be more vibrant. 2. Even after thoroughly tweaking the "Purity" settings, reds are not evenly spread across the corners. This is not enough of a problem to make me carry such a heavy monitor to LG's service, so I guess I shouldn't complain... Other than these two, it was a good choice. Prog.
