3 stars barely

The mage quality is superb, and the HDMI-to-HDMI connection frees up my Thunderbolt port for other uses. However, this item has two serious design flaws, in my opinion. The plastic stand is far too flimsy to support a 22" wide monitor. In particular, the plastic neck flexes whenever the platform moves, such as when on rests his hand on the desk to type or move the mouse. Doing so makes the monitor bob from side to side. Very annoying! This can be alleviated by jury-rigging upright braces on each side to prop up the monitor, but how this issue escaped LG's designers is a mystery. Another flaw is where the controls are placed, which is along the monitor's bottom edge. This makes them unhandy to adjust, as opposed to controls along the side. Apparently esthetics took priority over convenience in deciding where to position them.Read full review
