SAMSUNG INTRODUCES NEW 24-INCH TFT-LCD MONITOR
AT 2007 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW
New Commercial Monitor Designed For a Range Of Professional Applications,
Including Desktop Publishing, CAD And Graphic Design
LAS VEGAS - January 8, 2007 - Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of professional LCD and plasma display products, continues expansion of its award-winning line of SyncMaster displays with the introduction of the 245T, a high-performance 24-inch LCD monitor at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. A selection of Samsung's monitor portfolio, including the 245T, will be on display in the Samsung booth, #11033, in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center January 8-10.

The 245T monitor has a 24-inch, 16:10 wide-screen format, with a 178/178-degree viewing angle. The viewing angle is achieved via Samsung's proprietary Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA), the latest technology advancement in liquid crystal cell structure, for an improved user viewing experience. The 245T monitor's ultra-wide viewing area can support a range of multi-window applications, thereby helping to improve work efficiency and reducing the need for two monitors.

Furthermore, the 245T model features a high 1920 x 1200 resolution, allowing the monitor to deliver clearer and more precise images. The 245T monitor's image quality is also enhanced by Samsung's MagicContrast which offers a super high contrast ratio and an extra-wide viewing angle that's ideal for providing detailed onscreen images. With the 3000:1 super-high dynamic contrast ratio, it's easy to read or view content on the monitor's screen. The 245T model also comes equipped with MagicSpeed, which gives users an ultra-fast 6ms response time (gray to gray), making the monitor ideal for computer gaming and multimedia-driven applications such as motion or streaming video. A faster response time provides better performance of motion video, and produces smoother edges, clearer images and a more natural image response.

These features make the 245T monitor an ideal choice for a range of high-end commercial applications that require clear and precise images, such as CAD/CAM fine-detailed drawings, web and graphic design and desktop publishing.

Sleek and stylish, the 245T monitor is priced at an MSRP of $799.99, and is available in an attractive black cabinet. Furthermore, the model is HDTV-Ready, and capable of supporting High Definition resolutions including 1080i/p.

"Samsung is constantly striving to meet the demanding needs of professional users who require vivid and precise graphic quality and performance," said Andrew Weis, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Display Products, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. "By combining superior image technology with a wide-screen and feature-rich design, Samsung has delivered an outstanding solution for even the most high-end professional applications."

Featuring an 80mm height adjustable stand with flexible tilt and swivel capabilities, as well as five USB 2.0 ports (one up, four down), Samsung designed the 245T monitor to create a convenient, comfortable and highly-customizable user experience. The 245T model is further equipped with wall-mounting capabilities, offering professional users enhanced flexibility.

To aid in reduced power consumption, the 245T monitor employs Samsung's Digital Power Management Signaling (DPMS) mode to automatically assess whether the monitor is in use and switches it to stand-by mode, which uses less than two watts of power.

All Samsung displays are backed by a three-year limited warranty on labor and parts, including the backlight, as well as toll-free technical support for the life of the display.

The SynchMaster 245T monitor will be available in March through Samsung resellers and distribution channels, which can be located by calling 1-800-SAMSUNG or by visiting www.samsung.com. Samsung Power Partners receive special promotions, lead referrals, training and technical support, as well as collateral and marketing materials.
