Verdict

Pros: Landscape or portrait operation; stylish

Cons: Swivel can be awkward, fiddly controls

A recent addition to LG's popular Flatron range, the ultra-slim L1980u has something of a twist. The 19in TFT screen can pivot around for landscape or portrait operation, allowing users to select the best way to view their applications.

If nothing else this model is certainly stylish, and the thin but surprisingly strong circular base allows for both analogue VGA and DVI connections.

An adjustable arm supports the 12ms panel, but annoyingly, it's rather short. This makes turning the display more difficult than it should be and it's easy to accidentally hit the power switch when you do. The other controls can also be fiddly.

In tests picture quality was up to the usual LG standards with sharp images, solid colours and crisp text. However, the bottom of the picture was noticeably brighter than the top.
