Samsung Raises the Bar with HDTV Monitors in Touch of Color

July 28, 2008--Samsung Electronics America Inc. announced today the addition of HDTV monitors to its recently launched family of “Touch of Color” (ToC) desktop monitors. The new HDTV monitors T220HD, T240HD, and T260HD deliver a perfect combination of technology and style. Using Samsung’s dual-injection technology, these feature-packed HDTV monitors have a transparent plastic bezel with rich ruby red coloring giving it a glass appearance while delivering crystal clear high definition images.

The new ToC HDTV monitors provide HDTV content through a built-in digital ATSC/QAM tuner providing versatility for any home or office space. For eye-popping colors and the clearest images, the new HDTV monitors offer front and rear HDMI connections. Complimented by a 5ms video response time, the T240HD and T260HD offer a 1080p full-HD experience. The crystal like bezel frame reduces the reflection of light, reducing glare while sitting on a swiveling stand to provide for optimum screen positioning. Enhanced picture quality features include a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1, 16:10 aspect ratio and connections for multiple device peripherals including gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and digital cameras.

ToC HDTV monitors use approximately half the normal wattage of other monitors by reducing the number of backlight lamps and moving them only to the edges. Samsung’s brightness enhanced film is used to make up for the reduced number of backlights focusing the light and increasing overall monitor efficiency and reducing power consumption.

Sound functionality is provided by Dolby Digital Surround (3Wx2Ch) speakers and optical digital sound (5.1 channel) outputs for ease in connectivity and enhancing television and computing experiences.

“Samsung understands the various needs of our customers and we continue to deliver a comprehensive line of high quality desktop HDTV monitors without skimping on the essentials of quality, design and reliability,” said Christopher Franey, Vice President of Commercial Sales & Marketing, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. “The new touch of color, HDTV monitors reinforce Samsung’s commitment to its customers by providing intelligent desktop HDTV monitors that help customers enjoy multiple functionality with artistic design, complimenting any home or office.”

These high-end contemporary monitors are available for the following prices:

• HDTV Monitor T220 HD: $429
  
• HDTV Monitor T240 HD: $549
• HDTV Monitor T260 HD: $599
