LG Intros New PC Monitors with IPS Panel, MHL Connectivity
LG Display introduced the IPS7 series of premium desktop PC monitors. The series was given a worldwide launch. The monitors embed IPS LED-backlit LCD panels, with MHL (mobile high-definition link) feature, letting you plug it to smartphones, tablets, and cameras.
The IPS7 series make use of LG's Cinema Screen design, a USP of which is extremely thin bezels around the panel. In this case, as low as 1.2 mm-thin. LG is one of the most popular in-plane switching (IPS) LCD panel makers, and is quick to deploy its IP in these monitors, which results in horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178°. The panel is LED-illuminated, and that helps reduce its thickness (exterior) to 14.1 mm.
The IPS7 series from LG is being launched with two models, the 23-inch IPS237L, and the 27-inch IPS277L. Both models feature 1920 x 1080 pixels native resolution, 5 ms response time, mega contrast-ratio, and 250 cd/m² brightness. Its feature-set includes hardware colour-calibration, an aggressive power-saving mode, and 6-axis control. Apart from MHL, the display supports standard HDMI using an adapter cable.
Commenting on the launch, J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the IT Business Unit of the LG Home Entertainment Company, said "by combining CINEMA SCREEN Design and MHL functionality with the industry's leading IPS technology, the IPS7 series is able to offer stunning design and performance," adding "with the rapid growth in the number of mobile smart devices such as smartphones and tablets, the availability of content has greatly expanded. LG's IPS7 expands the user experience, enabling viewers to take full advantage of this content-rich environment."
Since this is a worldwide launch, LG did not reveal pricing, as it varies greatly between markets.
