Samsung Introduces New Slim Touch of Color LCD Monitors
Samsung 70 Series Design-forward, Eco-Friendly, Monitors Offer HD Quality for Entertainment and Productivity
Samsung Electronics America, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, the number one worldwide brand of LCD display products, today announced the release of its 70 Series Monitors: the P2070, P2370 and P2370HD. These slim LCD monitors, with screen depths of 30 mm (1.18 inches) for the P2070 and P2370 and 65.5mm (2.58 inches) for the P2370HD and Touch of Color (ToC(TM)) design, are the latest release of Samsung’s high performance displays.
“The 70 Series offers our customers a sophisticated-looking LCD monitor with the performance capability of our televisions,” said J.H. Kim, President of Samsung Electronics America’s Information Technology Division. “The 70 Series is the new standard as more people upgrade their monitors for additional uses, like watching television programs and playing video games.”
The 70 Series Monitors are ideal for office applications and entertainment with its dynamic contrast ratio (50,000:1) for deep, rich colors, while the 2ms (GTG) video response time minimizes blurring for watching sports and fast-moving gameplay. The crystal-like bezel frame with ToC(TM) reduces the reflection of light and glare. The glossy stand offers a polished design, while the clear, crystal-like acrylic neck gives the illusion the monitor is floating.
Samsung’s Startlight Touch Controls integrate the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel for a seamless look and feel, eliminating obtrusive buttons on the front or sides on the panel. Gently touching any of the buttons illuminates the controls which automatically disappear after a set period of time, minimizing distractions.
The P2370 offers full HD 1080p resolution (1920×1080) for optimized viewing of HD content. For full HDTV capability, the P2370HD builds on the 1080p capabilities of the P2370 with the addition of a HDTV tuner, integrated speakers with SRS TruSurround HD(r) and remote control. In addition, the P2370HD also has HDMI and component inputs for additional connections such as Blu-Ray, set-top boxes and game consoles providing users with a display that is ready for work and play.
“The 70 Series is a great monitor for someone looking a full range of color, sharpness and response. It also has an added benefit for those concerned about the environment. We were sensitive to the impact computers monitors have on the environment and have developed a manufacturing process for the 70 Series that would minimize this,” said Tony Yu, Display Product Manager of Samsung Electronics America’s Information Technology Division.
The 70 Series offers a suite of eco-conscious features including reduced energy consumption, requiring about a third less power to operate compared to typical monitors of similar size. The ToC manufacturing process eliminates harmful paints and sprays, increasing the monitors’ recyclability. The slim footprint also dramatically reduces transportation costs and requirements for a smaller carbon footprint.

Nice one. Is this model available in india?
Wow, I have been struggling with what aspect ratio to go with and your post has convinced me to the clear choice. With that said, is there any monitors you recommend for a $300 price range?
Dude you are great .so i am also going for 16.10 ratio lcd monitor ,jai ho 16:10
What is the use? These monitors are 16:9 display ratio hence 1920×1080 resolution which is also known as 1080P (This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total.) which is similar to TV sets but not the 16:10 display ratio required of computer monitors which give WUXGA 16:10 ratio and hence a 1920×1200 pixels (2,304,000 pixels) resolution. Hence, 16:10 has greater resolution than 16:9.
Obviously the 16:10 sets are better than 16:9 sets because they give greater resolution as well as that a 16:10 monitor can act in 16:9 mode also known as 1080P mode where as a 16:9 monitor cannot function as a 16:10 display device.
Also, 16:9 is useless for most games as almost all games function in 16:10 mode. If the game resolution is WUXGA i.e. or 1920×1200 or greater then the 16:9 ie 1080P monitors are useless. If the game resolution is lower than WUXGA such as in WSXGA+, which is 1680×1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels, or 30.61% fewer than the WUXGA) then the 16:9 i.e. 1080P sets could be used by downsizing to the lowere resolution.
However, this is not aesthetically pleasing; in fact one of the reasons a 16:10 ratio was used for computer display devices instead of the 16:9 ratio or 4:3 ratio of earlier TV displays is because the 16:10 is more aesthetically pleasing due to the fact it is a “Golden Rectangle” – For those who don’t know – A Golden Rectangle is one whose side lengths are in the Golden Ratio, 1: phi, (one-to-phi), that is, 1 : {1 + sqrt{5}}/{2} or approximately 1:1.618.
This follows what is also behind the Fibonacci series. It is also found in Nature where most organic matter seem to replicate the Golden Ratio – This is why it was also initially called the Divina Proportione by Luca Pacioli’s Divina Proportione in 1509. Leonardo da Vinci also used this ratio in many of his works including the Mona Lisa but most famously in The Vitruvian Man.
The Golden Ratio also has been used in the construction of some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. All this tells us how the Golden Ratio is aesthetically pleasing and in turn the Golden Rectangle is aesthetically pleasing and hence 16:10 is aesthetically pleasing.
This is why the 16:10 ratio was adopted for computer monitors. In fact most of the standard widescreen resolutions use this ratio; such as –
Wide XGA (WXGA is most commonly used to refer to a resolution of 1280×800 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10),
WSXGA and WXGA+ (WSXGA and WXGA+ can be thought of as enhanced versions of WXGA with more pixels, or as widescreen variants of SXGA. The aspect ratios of each are 16:10 (widescreen).),
WSXGA+ (WSXGA+ stands for Widescreen Super eXtended Graphics Array Plus and is a computer display standard. The resolution is 1680×1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels) and has a 16:10 aspect ratio.),
WUXGA (WUXGA stands for Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array and is a display resolution of 1920×1200 pixels (2,304,000 pixels) with a 16:10 screen aspect ratio.),
WQXGA (WQXGA (Wide Quad eXtended Graphics Array) is a display resolution of 2560×1600 pixels with a 16:10 aspect ratio.),
WQUXGA (WQUXGA (Wide Quad Ultra Extended Graphics Array) describes a display standard that can support a resolution up to 3840 x 2400 pixels, assuming a 16:10 aspect ratio.)
As can be seen from above 16:10 is a far superior display resolution ratio than 16:9 both for its wide use in the computer industry as well as because it is much more aesthetically pleasing.
We can keep adding to this like the fact that 16:10 has more vertical space while having the same horizontal space as 16:9. Since most games, applications, websites, documents, etc use vertical space equally or more so than horizontal space hence even here 16:10 score over 16:9 monitors.
The reason for having a 16:9 monitor in the market is not for customer benefit and to display 1080P HD content because a 16:10 monitor can do this albeit in a letter boxed mode displaying the full 1080P HD content just like a 16:9 display device but with black lines on the top and bottom to make up for the additional space. The 16:10 scores additional brownie points because this extra space can be used to display user controls without interfering with the Full HD content. Examples could be the TaskBar, Volume and User Controls etc. The 16:9 devices cannot do this and any user control with overlap and block the Full HD content when it is being used. This may not be much of a problem now in TVs except in Computer Monitors but in the future as more and more TV content also becomes interactive the 16:9 ratio will become redundant and the benefits of the 16:10 will only become more obvious.
No the reason for manufacturers pushing 16:9 monitors into the market is not because of superiority or customer benefit but rather because:
1. Most customers are uninformed about resolution sizes and given the mass presence of “Full HD 1080P” ads, assume that Full HD give you the Full Plate Image and one can’t do better.
This obviously is wrong and shows only the average customer’s ignorance and stupidity. Full HD is just a marketing term for non tech savvy people; there are far greater and superior resolutions than Full HD including the 16:10 ratio WUXGA with a display resolution of 1920×1200 pixels (2,304,000 pixels) being the closes to Full HD. There are of course even better resolution as stated earlier including spectacular next gen resolutions such as 2K and 4K digital formats which are to succeed and replace the 1080P format pretty soon.
2. An even more important reason is that making 16:9 monitors is cheaper for the manufacturers as they can use the same panels used for (LCD) TV displays; hence keep the volume numbers high and the costs down. However, they don’t pass on this entire cost benefit to the user and we can see this in the only slight price differences between 16:9 and 16:10 displays.
We also need to remember that 16:10 displays also cost more for the manufacturer as they are made in smaller volumes specifically for the computer monitor market and are too hi-tech for the regular LCD TV market. The problem mainly being that TV (i.e. signals and inputs) is still relatively analog where as these resolutions are digital. It does not make sense pushing a higher end 16:10 ratio monitor when a 16:9 monitor will be sufficient of the TV market.
Yet in spite of this the cost difference between a 16:10 and a 16:9 monitor is minimal and you get a better deal and value for money on a 16:10 monitor.
We can keep writing about the benefits of 16:10 over 16:9 here but I think this will do for now.
Thanks
