Samsung Develops Three New Notebook LCDs

malware · Oct 17, 2007

Samsung Electronics has developed three new LCDs for notebook PCs - two offering a true 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for viewing movies, TV shows and new-age gaming, while the third featuring active White-LED (light-emitting diode) backlighting that boosts picture clarity and reduces power consumption. The new 16:9 aspect-ratio displays - 16-inch (1366x768 HD resolution) and 18.4-inch (1920x1080 full-HD resolution) - feature an 800:1 contrast ratio, 8ms response time and 262,144 colors. In addition to its 16:9 aspect ratio notebook displays, Samsung has completed development of a 15.4-inch LCD with an active, White-LED backlight. The new 15.4-inch (1440x900 WXGA resolution) display operates on 40 percent less power than a typical LED backlight and covers a dynamic contrast ratio of 10000:1. Samsung will unveil its latest LCD models, which it expects will garner considerable interest in the high-end notebook PC market, at FPD International being held in Yokohama, Japan, October 24-26. Mass production is scheduled to commence in the first half of next year for the 16:9 displays and in the second half of 2008 for the White-LED backlit panel.

I dont buy a laptop for watching movies. I have a large screen TV for that. I can understand some people like widescreen displays on their main PC's (with at least 21" or more) so they have a SECOND option for watching movies on their PC. But a widescreen laptop? I think its a very narrow consumer segment that would choose a laptop due to widescreen feature. I could be wrong though... you can never predict the response of dis-similar minded people :roll:

I buy laptops for productivity software and email when on the road. Someone please invent a 12" screen WITHOUT reflections and WITH high resolution for better font rendering. A superbright screen for being able to read when outside (or at least, when on the train) would be nice. In fact, I might even prefer a "highscreen" since reading .docs and PDFs is normally very difficult (or needs a lot of scrolling) on a laptop. So, yes, maybe a widescreen but in PORTRAIT format. Good for PDFs. Good for email inboxes. ;p

Wait, am I reading this right? 262,144 colors? That's horrid.

Mom?

Seriously -- I'm still waiting on my laptop with a built-in OLED. Give me a 3mm thick screen any day.

Not quite though they are very similar technologies that are both more expensive than the normal technologies being used. Samsung has been using it in a few of its DLP HDTVS for a while now (at least since Spring 2007 but maybe even earlier).

LED is a more advanced technology than OLED is though even LED still has some work to do to bring prices down further :laugh:
