I have had the pleasure of holding on to the LG E2360 for so long that I sometimes forget that I have to return it soon!

Work and life have been keeping me from playing games on the PC to really test out the monitor but I’ve been spending a lot of time (as usual…) on the PC and my eyes really love to work on the newer LG E2360 compared to the LG W2486 who is sitting on the side as my secondary monitor.
My usual habit is to utilize both screens so that I can see more at once but over the last few weeks, I find myself using only the LG E2360 and sometimes even forgetting to turn on the other monitor. To explain this break of habit, I guess it’s due to the colours and the overall better display quality.
If only I can hold it on to it longer to play some games that will shine with the specs!

The folks of LG has once again sent over a monitor for my grimy hands to play with and this time, it’s the E60 series.


I was hoping that it will be a monitor with an even larger screen estate because the previous one they sent to me was the LG W2486 and has a 24″ widescreen; which I had eventually purchased and it has been my primary monitor with a dual monitor set-up at home.
The slight disappointment with the smaller screen estate of the LG E2360 was quickly overwhelmed when I unboxed it and realized it was so thin and light compared to the now bulky looking LG W2486!

Fresh out of the box.

E2360 on the left. W2486 on the right.

Just look how thin LG makes their monitors in just a year apart.

Buttons on the underside of the E2360. I much prefer the touch sensitive "buttons" of the W2486.

Ports on the E2360.

It is definitely not weightless but it is definitely EXTREMELY light for it's size.
I quickly moved my old Samsung monitor to the shelves; demoted the 24″ LG W2486 as my secondary monitor and assigned the sleek looking LG E2360 as my primary monitor. Pardon my messy desk but I have to show how it barely accommodates the 2 huge LG widescreen monitors.

Yes.... I need to clear my desk....
First impressions upon using the LG E2360? Colours were impressive and the contrast of images and video on the screen were even better than the already impressive LG W2486. The other specifications are impressive too!
