I bought this a few weeks ago, and so far it's met all of my expectations.First of all -- things that I had trouble finding out in advance: There is a headphone jack on the side, which can be used as an analog audio out (I'm pretty sure it came with a cable even -- 3.5mm to audio RCA connector) -- in addition to the optical digital audio out which is on the back. I haven't tested this yet, so I couldn't say if there is an actual difference in sound quality between either of the sources. I also don't know if it can output sound through both at the same time.Also, although the stand and "frame" are glossy, the actual screen has a matte anti-glare coating which I find works very well.As a TV: It looks great! I have it hooked up through component cables to my comcast dvr .. no issues at all. Plugged it in, and it just worked. The default display setting for some reason was the "vivid" color profile.. I played around with settings a bit, but I decided I like the vivid profile the best anyway.One feature that I really like is that it can be set to adjust the aspect ratio automatically based on the programming. So when I switch to non-HD channels the aspect automatically adjusts, so I don't have to see any stretched faces. I don't have to ever press the aspect button to change it. Of course if you prefer to set it manually, it lets you do that too.As a computer monitor: I'm currently using DVI. It looked great when I first plugged it in. Some of this might be my video card, but it automatically selected the best resolution, etc. It was possibly a little too blue-ish for my taste (probably only because I have it right next to a gateway lcd which is a little brighter and has more "warm" tones, which I prefer -- if the second monitor wasn't sitting right next to it, I think I'd have gotten used to it immediately). I adjusted the display settings, which helped a bit, and then adjusted the video card settings which helped a lot more. The second I told windows to use my video card color/video settings rather than windows, it looks PERFECT. I also adjusted the gamma on the monitor, I like my display to be very bright.I can't comment on the sound (my dvr and computer's audio goes directly to my receiver), or the remote (I use a logitech harmony, it was very easy to set up). I also can't comment on the built in hdtv tuner, I never hooked up an antenna or cable line directly to the tv, and it won't pick up any channels without one or the other.The only con that I can think of right now is the fact that there are no dedicated buttons for changing the input mode. You have to scroll through them -- although with the exception of the TV input (coaxial) it will not select sources that are not plugged in, which is nice. I would have liked if it wouldn't select "TV" unless I had something plugged in to that input, but it's not that big of a deal.Oddly, even though there aren't any dedicated input buttons, my harmony remote was still somehow able to get it to switch directly to component from any other input.. This did not work with any of the other input sources though, just component. Maybe there is a hidden functionality in there somewhere, though.. I might look into it one day.Oh, it also takes a little longer than I would like to "wake up" but I am very impatient in general, this might not bother most people.Anyway, I think this is a great monitor and a great tv, and I am VERY happy with my purchase! I just wish I'd been able to afford the 27" instead!EDIT 11/08/11:I still am loving this monitor. Since my original review, I've added a PS3 to my setup using the HDMI connector, and used the optical digital audio out on the monitor to my receiver -- sound and video are both perfect.Also, in addition to getting my harmony remote to select component input without cycling through, it was also able to directly select the A/V input (I believe that's composite).. although, I currently have nothing plugged into that one. Still, might be important information for other people. I have yet to figure out any way to get the monitor to directly select any input other than component and A/V. If I could I would upgrade my rating, since the time it takes to cycle through inputs is the only thing keeping me from considering this a 5 star monitor.

It's rare when you make a purchase of a quality product, at a great price, free shipping, smooth delivery! But it happened as advertised! Good work.

I bought this specifically to have the combined function of T.V. and monitor. It seems great as a television, and pretty darned good as a monitor. I have a few similar sized Dell monitors (which are dedicated monitors) and the appearance of text on the Dell monitors is slightly better than on the LG. But the screen still looks great and is very livable. I'm very happy with it.
