To help illustrate the viewing angle performance of the monitor we took a video of the Lagom text test, a mixed desktop background and dark desktop background from a variety of viewing angles.

The final part of this section looks at the Lagom contrast tests, highlighting even small weaknesses in contrast performance. Looking at a broader range of pixel transitions, as we do shortly, you can actually see a significant improvement over the ‘Off’ setting. One of the HDMI inputs supports MHL, which means you can use it to charge your smartphone while watching content from it (presuming your smartphone supports this). Control and set-up of the monitor is achieved via a row of physical push-buttons which access a very large on-screen menu which stretches along the bottom of the screen.This monitor doesn’t actually have any real ‘presets’ to speak of, which we don’t feel is necessarily a bad thing. The slightly grainy look at the high-end prevented lights looking ‘pure’ but there was plenty of brightness.

The bottom left was the worst offender here but there was nothing particularly bothersome, which is good.

Audio can be outputted from a smartphone (via MHL) or any other device via HDMI, DisplayPort or the audio input on the monitor.
