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

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 introduce new, 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.

Mr. SangSuk Roh, President of Samsung Levant said: “The production of this type of screens comes in line with Samsung’s efforts to provide its customers with options through innovative, quality and environment-friendly products that reflects Samsung’s excel in performance and uniqueness.”


“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.”

SAMSUNG EXTENDS POPULAR DUAL LCD CAMERA FAMILY WITH TWO NEW MODELS

Latest Samsung 2Veiw Digital Cameras Make it Even Easier for Photographers to Picture Themselves in the Fun

Samsung Digital Imaging Company Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, extended its renowned 2View family of digital cameras with the introduction of two new models, the PL150 and PL100, which will make it even easier for consumers to capture their most precious memories with family and friends, both from behind and in front of the camera. The two models of the dual LCD camera are available in the region markets.
Mr. SangSuk Roh, President of Samsung Levant said: “Samsung proves everyday that it’s a leading company in innovative technologies, and this new achievement is considered a qualitative leap in cameras technologies. We promise our customers that we will continue to amaze them with more developed and advanced products.”

“The introduction of the Samsung 2View camera in 2009 was one of the most successful digital camera introductions in Samsung’s history,” said Mr SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. “The ST550 and the ST500 broke new ground and surpassed industry expectations thanks to a combination of technologies that directly addressed how families and consumers take pictures today. We’re proud to add to the momentum generated by the launch of these cameras by extending the 2View family with the PL150 and PL100 that will bring new features to the table and be available at a competitive price to accommodate a wide range of budgets.”

Enhancements have been made to some of Samsung 2View’s most celebrated features on the PL150 and PL100, including updates to the cameras’ children Mode and Self-Timer. In addition to playing a fun animation on the front LCD screen, the PL150’s and PL100’s Child Mode will also play a musical tune to better help capture a child’s attention in order to snap the perfect picture (additional animations are available for download at http://www.samsung.com/).

The self‑timer function of the original 2View cameras perfected the group shot because it displayed a preview of the image and a visual countdown timer in the front LCD screen, giving everyone in front of the camera an indication of exactly when the photo would be taken.

The new Samsung 2View PL150 and PL100 come fully equipped with a true colour-filtered 12.2 mega-pixel CCD, providing sharp and detailed images. Whether taking pictures indoors or out, shooting a landscape or friends around a table, the PL150’s 5x optical zoom, 27mm-wide angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance.

Smart Auto (Still & Movie) analyzes key elements of the composition of the image such as color, brightness, motion and subject and then selects the appropriate scene mode which will produce the best results possible. Similar to the way the technology analyses the composition of an image when capturing digital stills, the technology will do the same for video, automatically choosing between one of four pre-programmed settings and selecting that which will yield the best footage with proper exposure and color balance.

The PL150 and PL100 also feature Samsung’s Perfect Portrait System – a series of automatic technologies which take the guess work out of shooting beautiful portraits.
