Introducing the new 80 series LCD Flatron monitor from LG; the slimmest flatscreen in its class. Its f-ENGINE technology features the first LCD picture-enhancing chip to provide.
The Flatron 1980Q combines style and quality. With a resolution of 1280 x 2024 pixels and a contrast of 500:1, you will get unrivalled image quality. The mirror and Pivot Forte functions are unique characteristics of this model which includes a DVI input for high definition peripherals. The 8 ms waiting time makes it highly adpatable for professional and leisure applications.
Review By Epinions
L1980q’s strong point is its low response time (8ms) but it also has more nice features. It has a very flexible stand. Actually it can bend over backwards, making it useful for shopping counters or conference tables, but I doubt I will ever use this feature, unless the wall facing me is interest in watching a DVD sometime. The screen can also be rotated to a portrait or landscape view. Of course there is an automated function that switches the display accordingly, or else it wouldn’t be too useful.

Review By Techtree
This monitor supports an interesting feature called Auto Pivot. This isn’t the first time we are seeing something like this but the way it’s implemented in this model is quite interesting. Generally in monitors supporting similar feature, the screen can be tilted sideways and the matter on the screen adjusts accordingly. LG seems to have taken this a step further. This screen can flip backwards by almost 180 degrees and the matter on screen does a 180 degrees somersault too. So you wish to show something to the person sitting behind your monitor, just flip it over and the monitor adjusts automatically. Neat, isn’t it? However you will need this software called LG Forte Manager installed on your PC which is bundled along with the monitor or can also be downloaded from the LG website. The Auto Pivot feature can also be disabled from the software.

Review By Hardware
The LG’s other specifications are middle-of-the-road rather than best-of-breed: Its pixel pitch is average at 0.294mm, but it’s not hard to find flat screens that best its rated contrast ratio of 500:1 and 250 nits of brightness. Resolution is the usual 1,280 by 1,024 pixels, at either the usual 60Hz or a higher refresh rate of 75Hz; to our eyes, the latter helped deliver a crisp, rock-solid image if not a particularly bright one (perhaps a factor for gamers seeking enemies lurking in shadow). Both analog VGA and digital DVI-D interfaces are built in.
