LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics has introduced three
new series of uniquely styled LCD monitors, three "Super Multi Blue"
Blu-ray Disc Rewriters and a new super slim optical drive as part of its
expanded 2008 information technology (IT) product portfolio. The products
are on display at the 2008 International CES(R) (Booth #8214, Central Hall,
Las Vegas Convention Center).
ADVANCED LCD MONITORS
LG Electronics' flagship LCD monitors, the W52 series, combine
cutting-edge performance with stylish designs that integrate into any home
office or high-end professional setting. The series' 19-, 20-, 22-, and
24-inch monitors feature a high-gloss, piano black cabinet with a curved
bezel accent. Digital Fine Contrast Technology boosts the contrast ratio to
10,000:1, one of the highest available today.
The 19-, 20- and 22-inch models' ultra-fast 2ms response time delivers
sharp, crisp images with reduced motion artifacts. LG's "ez Zooming"
technology helps users quickly change the image size and resolution with
the click of a button, an ideal tool for smaller fonts or images that need
to be magnified.
All LG monitors use the proprietary f-ENGINE picture-enhancing chip for
desktop monitors. LG's f-ENGINE enhances brightness and color independently
of each other, which makes these units perfect for gaming, and graphic or
video intensive projects. Additional monitors include:
-- W00 Series (W3000, W2600) - Features support for "Full HD" 1080p
resolution and incorporates LG's slim and narrow design. The unit has
a 2ms response time, high resolutions (2,560 x 1,600 resolution,
W3000; 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, W2600), and a 10,000:1 contrast
ratio. It is available in 26- and 30-inch models.
-- L7W Series (L227WT) - The L7W series utilizes a design that is perfect
for a home office or professional setting. The unit also incorporates
an anti-glare screen which minimizes glare often caused by fluorescent
or harsh lighting. It has 2ms response time, 10,000:1 contrast ratio,
300cd/m2 brightness, 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and a wide viewing
angle of 170 x 170 degrees. It is available in a 22-inch model.
