It is my first IPS monitor.

What is IPS? I heard a lot of times on hardware forum.

IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology enhances the performance of liquid crystal displays. Response times are shortened, color reproduction is improved, and users can now view the screen at virtually any angle.

What is LED Backlighting? It is also my first LED Monitor.

LG’s LED backlighitng delivers exceptional brightness and amazing image clarity. You’ll see richer colors and deeper blacks too, and LEDs offer greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD monitors.

It took me $148.99 plus Eco fee $9.00, and Tax $18.96. Total is $176.95.

I have two monitor. The other one is Acer X223w. So, I downloaded and installed LG Dual Smart Solution software to config my two monitors.
