<p>With the way the trends are going these days, it's hardly surprising to see another glossy piano black product hitting the market. The fact that it's coming from LG also doesn't leave one with much surprise either, as the Korean manufacturer is well known for its glossy mobile phone motifs.</p>
<p>We haven't really seen much action with LG monitors on our site; as far as we know, it's been eons since we last reviewed an LG monitor while our HWM print publication have reviewed them on a more routine basis. Of course, we've to admit that we took a long hiatus in the monitor space for our online publication, but we're in the midst of turning that around this year. So today, we take a look at the LG Flatron W2252TQ, a 22-inch widescreen that comes with a 2ms response time and an added twist of a 10,000:1 Dynamic Fine Contrast (LG's version of dynamic contrast ratio).</p>
