LG announces new ultra-slim LED-backlit monitors

LG has introduced a new batch of EX-series, ultra-slim LCD monitors. The displays boast LED backlighting, a 5ms response time, a 1,500,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and judging by a feature sticker, they should offer HDMI connectivity as well.


LED technology is said to bring up to 40% energy savings, so it's likely that the new EX monitors have an edge on power efficiency -- but the real selling point of these displays is their super thin bezel. They reportedly measure a mere 17.5mm (a little over half an inch) thick, and listed models include the 20-inch EX205, 21.5-inch EX225, and 23-inch EX235 -- perfect for standard desktop use.

LG's new EX entries will probably arrive in Korea before eventually making their way overseas, but there's no official word on price or availability.

I'm a big fan of LG stuff. Have an LG HDTV, Blu-Ray and two LG DVD burners in my PC. All look and work beautifully.

Will definitely be keeping an eye out for these monitors when they show up in the states.

We need monitor technology to go the other way! Reduce outer edge bezels! No seamless monitors unless you want to buy that huge 3 monitor monstrosity at CES!
