LG has announced the world’s first 10,000:1 Digital Fine Contrast ratio (DFC) PC monitor is now available in the UK. The monitor, dubbed the L197WH allegedly has the “greatest clarity available on a PC monitor today”.
According to LG, the 19-inch full Widescreen monitor is powered by the “F-Engine”, LG’s picture enhancing Chipset. There is however, one small catch. The monitor is only set to 10,000:1 contrast ratio when the monitor is set to Movie Mode, “a pre-configured setting of the F-Engine.”
“Ghosting, blurring and tearing are virtually removed as a result of the monitor’s 2m/s grey-to-grey response time. In addition, the L197WH includes a dual hinge, height adjustment and a tilt design”, adds LG.
No word on street price or availability but we will keep you updated.
