Samsung on Thursday introduced four new lines of LED displays meant for business use. They include the 200-, 450-, 650- and 850-series, with the 850 getting Plane Line Switching panel technology for what Samsung says is the most accurate color reproduction. These monitors are meant for graphic or video editing applications.
All four series, however, share Samsung’s Multi-domain Vertical Alignment (MVA) panel that has a 178-degree viewing angle. The 200-series monitors are meant for small and medium businesses on a budget and sport a thin bezel and matte display. Like the rest, a cable management system is in place. These ship in June in either 19-inch, 1440×900 or 21.5-inch, 1920×1080 sizes and resolutions.
The 450s include five different models and screen sizes with each getting height-adjustable stands and a pivot. They all have matte displays and Samsung’s MagicAngle tech that ensures the full contrast and color depth are seen no matter the angle an image is viewed from. Available sizes and resolutions include 19-inch/1,280×1,024, 19-inch/1440×900, 21.5-inch/1920×1,080, 22-inch/1680×1050, 24-inch/1920×1080 and 24-inch/1920×1200.
The 650s get an LED backlight and an ambient light sensor that helps save energy. It gets a DisplayPort connector as well. They ship later, in July, and can be had in 21.5-inch/1920×1080, 24-inch/1920×1080 and 27-inch/1920×1080 sizes.
The 850-series screens are meant for business professionals and thus have 100-percent sRGB color support and ultra-high definition resolution. They also get Proximity and Ambient Light sensors to save energy use. They have a Picture by Picture feature that lets users view two video sources at the same time. The only two sizes available here include a 24-inch/1920×1080 and 27-inch/2560×1440 display. They ship in July.
Prices for these monitors will be revealed at a later date.
