LG IPS235V

LG IPS235V

When I reviewed the LG IPS236V last year I gave it high marks for its overall performance and for being one of the first truly affordable IPS monitors to hit the shelves. LG's newest model, the LG IPS235V ($239.99 list), is also a good performer, and it's reasonably priced. Like its predecessor, the IPS235V offers three video inputs, and unlike the earlier model, it delivers a relatively blur-free gaming experience. That said there are similarly priced IPS monitors out there that deliver similar image quality but give you much more in terms of features. The IPS235V has a somewhat different look than its older sibling. The clear trim and glossy black bezels and cabinet have been replaced by thin (0.65 inch) black bezels sporting a textured finish, while the cabinet is done up in a matte black finish with a small strip of glossy black plastic around its outer edge. There's a silver LG logo in the center of the bottom bezel and an IPS LED logo to its left. A Flatron IPS235 badge is affixed to the left side of the upper bezel and there are six function buttons and a power switch mounted beneath the lower right edge of the cabinet.
