LG E2370v Review

Back in December, we reviewed LG’s E2350v—a serviceable display that featured a two-way stand and an energy-efficient design but had poor-quality black reproduction and a frustrating menu experience—so it was with a skeptical eye that we tackled its big brother, the E2370v. An IPS display with a slim, brushed-aluminum bezel, the E2370v is nothing like its little brother. At 23 inches and running a standard resolution of 1920x1080, the E2370v also features LED backlighting, two HDMI inputs, one DVI and one VGA input, and a remote. That’s right—a remote. Used to control brightness, volume, inputs, aspect ratio, picture-in-picture, Thru Mode (to optimize reaction time of video content while gaming), and more, the remote is a nice touch. While some reviewers have said the stand feels cheap and wobbly, we didn’t experience any troubles with it while testing, although we were disappointed in its range of movement: The E2370v tilts back a bit but does not swivel left to right, adjust for height, or go into portrait mode (Why? Why, cruel world?!). It also lacks a DisplayPort and USB input. Fortunately, its performance far makes up for any lacking features—from start to finish, the E2370v offered a superb image in both clarity and color.
