At the first view the design of this LG monitor is interesting and quite successful, but seems to not offer more than the concurrence. In fact, its foot is basic and you will not be able to adjust the height of the monitor as you wish. The format of the monitor is thin and very light, but this is now a common feature for almost monitors powered by LED as source of light.
The new LG-PN E2360V computer monitor has a interesting design design, but its performance, without being bad, is not impressive comparing with the competition from the market. The expectations before test
If you look on the market, you will see a lot of LED monitors available. However, some models seems to have a lot of success and many others have disappointed the users. Apparently, the LED backlight is supposed to improve the contrast ratio, uniformity of brightness and consumption of the display but this is not always the case. The producer claims that the monitor-PN E2360V have static contrast ratio of 1000:1 with a brightness of 250 cd / m², and a response time of 5 ms. The dimensions are good and the panel has only 12.5 mm thick. However, we tested this model and we can say this is one of the good surprises from the beginning of the year.
The reality
Weak response time
Even the producer claims that the speed of display is good, LG-PN E2360V is not really made for gaming. Our measurements revealed that the LCD’s LCD panel are on average 16.5 ms for a round trip between white and black, a huge value comparing with what the producer said. Other monitors are much faster in this area, and the best value is around 4 ms in our performed tests. In this case, a response high time leave an afterimage behind moving objects, causing a small blur to the eye of the user. This a bad thing and a problem for of fast video games (shooting games, racing cars, and other similar movements). If you try to play you will feel a visual discomfort.
Anyway, strictly for multimedia, this monitor has a complete connectivity formats: VGA port, DVI-D and HDMI with audio input and output jack 3.5 mm, for headphones connectivity. A bad point is the missing of integrated speakers into the monitor frame.

Medium color quality
If you look at the quality of the image, the LED backlight of the display seems to offers what he said . However, the brightness is relatively good with good uniformity, and blacks are deep and correct. If you use the default settings, the contrast ratio is about 1197:1 and the brightness is about 239 cd / m².
Anyway, the measurement performed after the calibration shows different and better values: about 114 cd / m² brightness and a decreased contrast ratio, even it still remains higher than 1000:1 according to measurements. This is a good value ! The gamma scale is good in both cases, very close to a value of about 2.2. However, the display is not excellent in terms of rendering gray and color fidelity. In fact the results are medium, even after calibration with our special probe.
Not so eco friendly
We must be correct and we said that this monitor with LED offers good maximum brightness of 238 cd / m² (this is the average value of nine measurement points on the display). You must know that its backlight seems to be more heat than the other LED monitors, made by concurrence or not. This warmth is not affecting the display itself. Anyway, the power consumption of this model is also higher than average: 28.7 W in operation, while the monitors Iiyama E2473HDS and Hanns.G HL245DBB are able to offer superior brightness (243 cd / m²) at lower values of consumption respectively 23.6 and 20.7 W in our tests.
The test and review conclusions
After this test we can said that the LG-PN E2360V is able to rank in the top of the LED displays with medium performance. This value is acceptable just for a model which costs less than 200 euros. The monitor is too slow for gamers, but the image quality is good if you need to use it in conventional office and for multimedia tasks. Anyway, we think that the users will prefer his brother LG IPS236V, powered by an IPS panel with impressive performance,. However, this will cost you more money comparing with the model tested today.
