LG Electronics has cranked a hybrid display (that can play role of computer monitor and TV) with support for HDMI and 1080p. It's fully compatible with Vista and offers splendid specs. The 22-inch display boost "Slim & Light Design" and features 1680x1050 resolution, 300cd/m2 brightness, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time, and USB input interface for multi-screen.

LG is the best when it comes to electronics. your monitors are the cutting edge in the world of computers.
gillian, what RUBBISH are you on about? cutting edge? please see dell monitors, they have HDMI and rotate etc. also they display FULL HD (1080P) not 1680 X 1050 like this one!
Obviously 1080p resolution would be scaled down to fit and match the available pixels. The same thing goes for every modern 720p HDTV with support for 1080i. True, 1080 will not look as good as true 1080 sets, but at least this things scales it while preserving the progressive scan rate. That's the impressive part!
Dell does not do HDMI, they are backing DisplayPort
When is this model (LG M228WA) available in the USA. How much is it? and where can i get one?
2ms response time : That's not what one can read in the official home page of LG; It's written 5ms. The difference between the M228WA and the L228WA is not clear when we talk about spcefication: It's rather similar. Aren't we facing some new fashion? Can't we get better with some top rank hardware?

What rubbish are _you_ on about? Sure some Dells monitors will do FULL HD (1080P) but there are plenty that will not. You're saying the Dell are better than LG based on the fact that some of Dell's monitors are better than this particular LG monitor. if you can't make sensible comparisons between products and brand then shut the hell up.
Everyone just calm the hell down.
Have a nice day!

LG M228WA has no HDMI input. The model which has HDMI input is LG 22LS4R, its specs is exactly as same as M228WA, but i think i will only be found in some countries.
Yup, the M228WA has a DVI-D input with HDCP support, so it can get 1080p signal, which then has to be scaled down.
please,
How much it cost:

Im from Macedonia, Skopje
the lg is the shit i tried it out in pcworld fkin lush as fuck it supports 720p with vga input and i tried with my hd ready xbox 360 better than u expect buy one now from pcworld pick it up if u can so u can take it back if faulty ;)
You're all homosexuals, LG monitors are solid.
does not support hmdi only dvi but you can buy a cable for 5 pounds on ebay "hdmi to dvi". just want to ask, is this monitor has 720i,720p or 1080p, 1080i ? which is better 1680 X 1050 or lesser?thanks
Simply the Best !!!!!!!!!
Just to point out that this will not work well with a PS3 or an XBOx360. Monitor are cr**p at scaling dow. I opted out for a TV with a proper 720p (or 1080i) mode and then use that as well on the PC in its' native mode. Works pretty well.

There are 480p native projectors that support 1080p input. This monitor is 1680x1050, everyone do the math.
