LG Electronics Flatron L172WT Review
- LG's HDTV-ready LCD gives you three ways to view more than one video feed. Picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture are common in this class of monitor, but picture-on-picture is rarely offered. With PBP, both images are cropped and shown side by side. With POP, one small and one large image window show at the usual proportions. A TV tuner is built in, and a remote control is included. SRS WOW sound makes music sound far better than the usual monitor speakers do.
