Samsung has introduced a new monitor that doubles as a TV on Wednesday with the 27-inch SyncMaster P2770HD. The display is Samsung's largest with an HDTV tuner built-in and can natively display 1080p video. The integrated picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture features let users compute while watching TV.
Samsung on Tuesday in Korea announced the upcoming release of two SyncMaster 80 Series LCD monitors, with the 20-inch F2080 and 23-inch F2380. Each sports what Samsung claims is the world's highest dynamic contrast ratio for a conventionally-lit computer display, at 150,000:1. Otherwise, they share the same 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles and 100 percent coverage of the sRGB color space, rendering them ideal for certain image editing work.
Samsung in its home market of Korea unveiled the SyncMaster 70 Series of LCD monitors, made up of 20- and 23-inch models. Each is made with an emphasis on environmental friendliness, and are said to use up one third less energy than Samsung's regular LCD panels of the same size. Featuring the company's Touch of Color design, the only hard specs known at this time include a dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and a 2ms panel response time.
