Appearance and Layout

The LG L226WTQ comes in two colours, however this evaluation covers the silver model (but a black monitor is also available). The bezel around the LCD panel is matte silver, with the rear of the unit and base stand appearing in a glossy black finish. The overall effect is quite attractive and fits in well with other silver/black PC accessories.


The monitor features a set of 6 buttons, one on the right of the monitor to power on/off and 5 others labelled: EZ Zooming, Menu, f-Engine, Source and Auto/Set. EZ Zoom is a function which allows you to change the resolution on the fly, the source button lets you change the monitor input and the f-Engine button allows you to choose from a variety of preset image modes (which alter the monitor settings) depending on the type of content you are viewing (text, movie or normal).


The LCD panel is supported by stand which allows you to alter the vertical tilt of the monitor to suit, however no height adjustment is included. A small clip is attached to the back of the stand allowing any power/signal cables to be neatly channelled out of the way.
