LG 25SR50F-W MyView Smart Monitor 25in - Compact Smart Display

Our review of the LG 25in MyView Smart Monitor finds it best suited for home office users, students and anyone who wants a tidy secondary display with smart streaming built in; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true 25in IPS Full HD panel with webOS streaming and built-in cloud app access, so you can work and watch without a PC. Setup is straightforward, the 3-side virtually frameless design fits small desks, and the monitor's ability to connect to a laptop or console via multiple ports while also running streaming apps makes it a versatile everyday screen.

Key Features

• IPS Full HD Display: The 1920x1080 IPS panel delivers consistent color and wide viewing angles for reliable image quality across common work and media tasks.
• webOS23 Built-in: Built-in webOS gives instant access to popular streaming apps and over 300 free channels so media playback is ready without a PC.
• Multi Ports: Two HDMI ports and two USB ports allow connecting a laptop, desktop or gaming console without constant cable swapping.
• Built-in Speakers: Dual speakers provide usable audio for video calls and casual media playback so an external speaker is not always required.
• Apple AirPlay 2 & HomeKit: AirPlay 2 compatibility makes it easy to mirror or cast from iOS and MacOS devices without extra hardware.
• Simple Design: The slim, three-side virtually frameless bezel and tilt-adjustable stand keep the monitor compact and visually unobtrusive on a desk.

Who It's For

The LG MyView Smart Monitor is ideal for remote workers, college students and casual gamers who need a compact yet capable 25in display that can double as a standalone streaming device. It is particularly useful for people who want to run cloud office services or stream directly from apps using webOS without maintaining a dedicated PC all the time.

Those who need professional-level color calibration for print work, multi-monitor 4K workflows, or very powerful built-in audio should look elsewhere; this monitor aims for everyday productivity and media rather than studio-grade color accuracy or high-end sound.
