Samsung Launches the Super-Thin LED P2370L Monitor
Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, the number one monitor brand in the world, announced today the addition of a super-thin LED monitor to its "Touch of Color" (ToC) family - the P2370L. This new high-end, model has a Light Emitting Diode Back Light Unit (LED BLU), instead of the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) found in standard LCD displays, and reproduces more vibrant color and higher contrast ratios than other monitors. With its sophistication-meets-high technology form factor, the P2370L display will ship in late first quarter with an MSRP of $399.
The monitor's ToC design technology has an ultra-thin wrapper of just 16.5mm (0.65-inches) and is a great fit for any home or office environment, helping to maximize desktop real estate and minimize its physical and carbon footprint reduced. Key eco-friendly benefits of the P2370L model include LED fluorescent lamps that do not contain harmful elements such as mercury or lead, consumption of 30% less energy and a longer life than a standard CCFL backlit unit. In addition, the ToC manufacturing process eliminates harmful paints and sprays to enhance the recyclability of the entire monitor.
"As one would expect from Samsung, the P2370L represents the pinnacle of premium display craftsmanship as a high-end monitor that is sophisticated in not only appearance, but in the quality and performance it offers and in how it impacts the environment," said R.A Atanus, Vice President of Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics' Information Technology Division. "This monitor is truly a leadership product that will further solidify Samsung's position as the foremost authority in the design, engineering and performance of displays worldwide."
The P2370L uses white LEDs and has a ultra-high contrast ratio of 2M:1. The monitor also has an ultra fast 2ms (GTG) video response time and offers a 1080p full-HD experience.
The P2370L display's transparent, crystal-like, bezel frame has blue gradation that gives it a glass-like appearance, and helps to reduce the reflection of light to decrease glare. The model also has a unique glass stand neck that gives the illusion that the monitor is floating. It is also equipped with Samsung's dual-injection technology that lends it a smooth, finished appearance without any screws or joints.
The P2370L is designed so that there are no obtrusive buttons on the front or sides on the panel. Instead, each display features Samsung's unique Startlight Touch Controls which integrate the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel for a seamless look and feel.

By the way they didn't mention how what size of it ?
Looks to me it gonna be 26inch or something close.
Well probably not, LEDs are getting better and better all the time. I'm sure they used muuuuuch better quality ones that are on Christmas lights :p
That contrast ratio number is good for marketing, but does it produce black if you reduce the brightness to a level that doesn't make your eyes pop?
Which is the minimum resolution for 1080p, and should serve fine dot pitch.
WOW!! this is AMAZING news...
I am so very happy that Samsung has been so hard at work combating the ridiculous THICKNESS of my current screen (almost 4.3cm)..
It REALLY is about time everybody stopped working on storage, processors, ram bandwidth, and graphic performance and every other silly waste of time that used to preoccupy so much of our global research resource in years gone buy, and finally focused on the critically vital THICKNESS of our monitors...
This massive attention currently being devoted to THICKNESS of monitors is sure to help revolutionize global problems like sickness, famine, & unplayable framerates... Just think of how much more work all of those scientific researchers will be able to do with that extra 1.Xcm of space they will gain when they replace their current LCD's & TFT's...
It really is a miracle that big corps are finally focusing on such important issues...
White LED averages at 91-94, with some nearing 100, but that's as high as they'll go.
They keep reinventing the circle as far as I'm concerned until this is accomplished.
monitors at CES because I worked that show, and my reaction was: great, more
ways that TV can take over our lives. What about some better content?
Fortunately other companies are improving the computer components all the time.
And I have a Samsung HD in my computer.
LCD's lack the contrast ratio...and it is very noticable to me especially a movie with night scenes. SO bring em on i say, and they are reasonably priced too.
I can go on into a huge VSYNC display explanation but I think 120hz refresh will solve most of the issues. I don't want screen tear anymore in windows either.
While in windows anyone can see tearing if you have an LCD, All you have to do is drag a window around and watch left window edge. You will see an effect such as:

I am actually curious as to how a PC would look like on a TV with 120hz refresh and if it actually works...
