The 20.1in Flatron L2013P is the latest in LG’s huge range of TFTs. The models vary from home LCD TV products to budget and high-end office, up to leading-edge designer models.
The 13 series, of which the L2013P is the largest member, fits in towards the cheaper end of its Premium and Style range. Offering an ultra-narrow bezel, a swivel, pivot and tilt screen, along with a height-adjustable stand, this TCO-03-certified monitor delivers all the ergonomic features required of the modern office.
Its stylish yet unobtrusive appearance would also look very good in the home, although it does not come with a USB hub or speakers.
It’s good to see that style continues through to the on-screen menus, which are simple to use and easy on the eye.
To keep meddling fingers away from your carefully calibrated settings, you can optionally lock out all control adjustments. Curiously, even without this lock in place, colour adjustments usually available in both analogue and digital modes remain locked out when using the DVI connection.
LG’s dedicated Light View button offers quick access to preset settings for various different image types under day and night conditions.
Its 1,600 x 1,200 pixel resolution and 178º viewing angles are combined with a 16ms response time, which is more than adequate for all but hardcore gamers. Both analogue and DVI cables are included.
Our tests revealed impressive image quality. With its smooth gradations and rich colours, the L2013P joins good performance with style and just the right level of features for anyone who finds that a resolution 1,280 x 1,024 is simply not enough.
