Flatscreens are getting flatter all the time and the latest treatment for unnecessary millimeters is LED backlighting. Samsung is one of the leading LCD TV makers when it comes to using LED, but it has also used it with PC monitors and especially the Samsung XL2370 monitor. Using LED technology Samsung has managed to slim down the monitor quite a lot and it calls it “finger-slim”, something we first heard when it showed the L2370L monitor in May, then mistaken for an OLED monitor.
Samsung XL2370 has similar specifications with 1920×1080 pixel resolution and 2ms response time (GtG), but the already impressive contrast ratio has been improved to phenomenal 5,000,000:1. Dynamic of course, but still a number to respect.
The new slim monitor consumes 40% less power than equivalent LCD monitors and the finger thin monitor is around 1.5-2.0 cm (3/5-4/5″).
There is no price for Samsung XL2370 available, but it should appear in Europe in August.
