User-Friendly Series Offer High Contrast Ratios for a Crystal-Clear, Life-Like User Experience
LG Electronics today announced the nationwide availability of three new series of LCD monitors designed to deliver an enhanced gaming, graphics or multimedia experience. Previewed in January at the 2008 International CES, LG’s three new lines of elegantly designed LCD monitors (the W52, W00 and L7W series) are available at Best Buy, Circuit City, and other leading electronics retailers across the United States.
LG’s distinctive technologies such as contrast ratios of 10,000:1 Digital Fine Contrast Technology produce a crystal-clear image that is more color-correct and lifelike, for an optimal viewing experience. The W52 and W00 series also offer “ez Zooming” technology, allowing users to quickly change the image size and resolution with the click of a button, an ideal tool for smaller fonts or images that need to be magnified.
“LG Electronics appeals to the consumer by merging superior technologies and contrast ratios with stunning design,” said Marc Sorkin, senior marketing manager for IT products, LG Electronics USA, Inc. “LG’s new monitors have taken cues from our trend-setting line of LG HDTVs and, as a result, look terrific in the home or office.”
W52 Series — Design that Packs a Punch
LG’s flagship W52 series LCD monitors, ranging in class sizes from 19- to 24-inches, were developed for those seeking sophisticated style and user-friendly technologies.

All LG monitors use the proprietary f-ENGINE picture-enhancing chip for desktop monitors. LG’s f-ENGINE enhances brightness and color independently of each other, which makes these units perfect for gaming, and graphic or video intensive projects. The W52 series starts with a retail price of $229.95 for the 19-inch (18.9-inch diagonal) model $279.95 for the 20-inch (20.1-inch diagonal) model, $319.95 for the 22-inch (22.0-inch diagonal) model and $499.95 for the 24-inch (24.0-inch diagonal) model.
