Samsung Intros 50 And 30 Series LED LCD Monitors

In need of a new monitor? Samsung has you covered. The company has just announced an expansion in the Touch of Color line with the 30 and 50 Series LED-backlit LCD monitors, though right now there are just two main models being revealed in those lines. The BX2350 and BX2335 are both refined and revamped compared to last year's ToC displays, offering even sleeker lines and chrome accents.


Also, these new panels are environmentally friendly, with the LED-backlit design cutting down on toxic chemicals and using around 40% less energy than conventional LCDs. Furthermore, the company's ToC technology doesn't use paints, sprays or glues, ensuring they contain no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making recycling simpler and safer. Samsung's Magic Eco feature allows users to adjust a monitor's brightness based on different energy consumption levels with four preset energy-saving options to choose from: 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and Power-Saving Off. Additionally, the 50 and 30 series monitors meet international energy standards including Energy Star 5.0 and China's Energy Level 1 grade (50 series), proving themselves eco-friendly products.


These also share some pretty interesting and rare features. One of those is the company's proprietary Magic Angle feature to reduce eye strain and ensure that images are centered when viewed from any angle, which eliminates distortion and provides the best viewing angle whether standing, sitting, or even lying down. Also, the Magic Return feature automatically moves content from a screen that is abruptly turned off to the screen that is still on, enabling content to be accessed even if one of the monitors gets disconnected, or shuts off. Most of the hard specifications aren't being announced yet, but we are told that these will have Full HD resolutions (1080p), a 2ms response time and a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Pricing is still TBD.

Samsung Electronics Improves Viewing Experience with New Eco-Friendly LED Monitors

Samsung announces the Q-Series range of notebooks, the ultimate blend of style, power and mobility

Seoul (Korea Newswire) July 6, 2010 -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the number one worldwide brand for display products, is continuing to evolve LED monitor technology by offering environmentally-friendly monitors with better viewing angles and eye-catching designs with the release of its 50 and 30 series LED monitors.

Before developing its latest LED monitors, Samsung consumers identified three key areas that would benefit consumer needs – eco-friendliness, design and viewing experience. Samsung addressed these mandates in the following ways:

- Eco-friendly LED backlight: The 50 and 30 series LED monitors highlight Samsung's commitment to putting the PlanetFirst™. Unlike conventional monitors, LED-backlit displays contain few or no environmentally hazardous substances, such as mercury or lead, and use about 40 percent less energy. Samsung's Touch of Color (ToC) technology doesn't use paints, sprays or glues, ensuring they contain no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making recycling simpler and safer.

Samsung's Magic Eco feature allows users to adjust a monitor's brightness based on different energy consumption levels with four preset energy-saving options to choose from: 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and Power-Saving Off. Additionally, the 50 and 30 series monitors meet international energy standards including Energy Star 5.0 and China's Energy Level 1 grade (50 series), proving themselves eco-friendly products.

- Sleek and slim design: Both the 50 and 30 series introducenew, sleek designs that set them apart from previous design trends. Both have adopted Samsung's trademark ToC technology, reducing monitor thickness dramatically. The 50 series employs a Charcoal gray ToC design, a stand with a chrome finish and a delicate wave back-pattern. The 30 series differentiates itself with its Mystic Brown ToC design, a color not commonly found in conventional monitors, which is reminiscent of rich, handcrafted chocolate. These products truly deliver on Samsung's design philosophy that consumer electronics should resemble pieces of art that help tie a room together.

- The most comfortable viewing experience: Samsung's new 50 and 30 series LED monitors support Samsung's proprietary Magic Angle feature to reduce eye strain and ensure that images are centered when viewed from any angle. This eliminates distortion and provides the best viewing angle whether standing, sitting, or even lying down. Consumers can also enjoy vivid, dynamic images thanks to the Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio, ultra-fast response time of 2ms, FHD resolution, and a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Also unique to the 50 series is a new feature called Magic Return. When users are working with two monitors, Magic Return automatically moves content from a screen that is abruptly turned off to the screen that is still on, enabling content to be accessed even if one of the monitors gets disconnected, or shuts off.

"Samsung's 50 and 30 LED monitors illustrate our commitment to releasing top-of-the-line products that are environmentally-friendly and address the needs of consumers," said Jin-hwan Kim, Vice President, Visual Display Business, Samsung Electronics. "Through our continuous monitor innovations, we expect the 50 and 30 series of LED monitors will strengthen our leadership in the global LED monitor market."
