LG launches 10,000:1 PC monitor in UK

3 March 2008 15:57 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 7 comments

LG has announced the world's first 10,000:1 Digital Fine Contrast ratio (DFC) PC monitor is now available in the UK. The monitor, dubbed the L197WH allegedly has the "greatest clarity available on a PC monitor today".

According to LG, the 19-inch full Widescreen monitor is powered by the "F-Engine", LG's picture enhancing Chipset. There is however, one small catch. The monitor is only set to 10,000:1 contrast ratio when the monitor is set to Movie Mode, "a pre-configured setting of the F-Engine."

"Ghosting, blurring and tearing are virtually removed as a result of the monitor's 2m/s grey-to-grey response time. In addition, the L197WH includes a dual hinge, height adjustment and a tilt design", adds LG.

No word on street price or availability but we will keep you updated.

Yea, this looks like a kick ass LCD monitor. *Quote:* "Ghosting, blurring and tearing are virtually removed as a result of the monitor's 2m/s grey-to-grey response time. In addition, the L197WH includes a dual hinge, height adjustment and a tilt design" Now that's what I'm talking about! Excellent for watching fast-action movies. Look at it bend!!

Dunno yet, I haven't found anything hinting a price. I bet it's going to be pretty pricey, wouldn't you imagine? "look honey, it said goodswipe! oh wow, that's amazing." [ + quote]

I think a lot of people are going to be getting cramped up by leaning on their desk to look down on their monitor. ;-) Hopefully you can leave it set to movie mode the whole time it is on. Gotta have a steep pricetag though. [ + quote]

If the screen is pre-locked in its settings then it is not exactly user friendly. [ + quote]
