Summary: Beautiful Monitor
Comment: The monitor is beautiful. Sharp, vivid, rich images. We looked at many excellent monitors, but fell in love with this one.
Another reason I like this is because I have another LG monitor, that, about 2 years into the 3 year manufacturer warranty, it just went bad. All that I needed to do was to call up LG, and they sent me a new one (an upgraded model), and then I sent the old one back in a box in which LG paid for the shipping. You couldn't ask for better customer service!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: No complaints!
Comment: Takes a lot of adjustments to get the display the way you really want it. Ex: brightness, contrast, etc. Other than that, I'm really really happy with it. No complaints so far.

Summary: Crisp, sleek, bright, beautiful
Comment: The LG "flatron w2252tq" is a brilliant 22'' monitor. The digital DVI connection is as good as an HD connection. The simple tilt base works great for adjusting the monitor, and the base seems very stable. The black plastic glossy finish around the edges of the case look nice. The blacks are deep and the colors bright, and there is little to no bleeding of light around the edges. I tweaked the contrast and brightness settings because the default was too bright, and I wish this had an HDMI input for the future when I have HDMI outputs on my home theater, because it truly is that great of a monitor.
Highly recommended, worked perfectly first night out of the box and I've now been using it for 3 weeks straight. Those complaining below of "grainy" images need to realize the resolution their PCs are set to, and how older, low-res pictures will look grainy and stretched on a monitor this large and clear.
Got a sale at Best Buy for $219, so check the ads.

Summary: Cannot get the color right, and grainy display
Comment: Good: no dead pixels
Bad:
* the same resolution (1680 x 1050) is shared by 19", 20" and 22" LCD panel. You can imagine the grainy display for your photos. Dot Pitch of 0.282 mm is really stretching the limit. To get some sense of the dot pitch: I have a 15" LCD with pitch size 0.25 mm, and a 17" LCD of size 0.264 mm. So don't be fooled by the size of LCD monitors!!
* Another big problem: some areas are always biased to red, especially for some human faces in photos. Tweak any configuration will not result in a satisfactory result. So bring your favorite family photos when testing your next monitor purchase. Human eyes are very sensitive to colors of faces and cannot be easily fooled.
Totally disappointed with 22", I am returning it and get a 19" on which I can at least enjoy my photos.
------update after one week's research------------
It is sad to know that almost all 22" LCD monitors use TN (twisted nematic) panels. These are only capable of 6-bit color and 262,144 colors. The acclaimed 16.7 million colors are approximated. If you see a monitor advertised with 2 or 5 ms response time, 90% chances are it is based on TN panel.
There are two other better choices, depending on your requirements to color accuracy and response time: S-IPS (super in-plane switching) and S-PVA (super patterned vertical alignment).
Some third-party reviewers confirmed my complain: trustedreviews dot com says "some serious image quality issues. Unfortunately, there's more bad news to come, with the W2252TQ clearly struggling in our DisplayMate tests. Viewing angles are particularly poor due to severe colour and contrast shift. It also failed to distinguish subtle colour gradients, and produced really pronounced banding in both colour and greyscale. There's colour contamination over blacks and whites, and a noticeable amount of backlight bleed from both the top and bottom of the display"
Further information for people who want to be informed consumers.
google "anandtech the LCD thread" to find more in-depth discussion and recommendation for you monitor purchase.
check tftcentral dot co dot uk for the panels used by major monitors.
Bottom line: You get what you pay. There is a reason for the high cost (~$400) of Dell UltraSharp 2007FP or HP LP2065, even they are *only * 20"!

Summary: LG W2252TQ review
Comment: This monitor is worth every sent. Works perfect right out the box, had to buy the DVI cables separate though. The color are great and I play pc games and there is no screen lag or ghosting. LG has made a good product.
