'EMOTIONAL'SERIES LCD MOINOTR. LG Electronics unveiled its latest innovative LCD monitor, the 'Emotional'series, at the CeBIT exhibition held in Hanover, Germany. The 'Emotional'series was conceived with the concept of creating a premium design series, setting an example for its next-generation monitors.
LG's LCD monitors have continuously gained well-deserved brand recognition through the premium designs of the "LX40"series. The 'Emotional'series goes one step further, presenting not only visual beauty, but also emotional sensation for the user.
The 'Emotional'series offers the world's most innovative contrast ratio of 1600:1, lightening fast response-time of 4ms, crisp and clear image via f-engine, and an ultra slim depth of 18mm.
But that's not what really matters. The 'Emotional'series seek to provide relief and composure from everyday hassle of long hours of computer use, and also sensitivity deriving from its simple and elegant outline. The effort and craftsmanship committed makes the 'Emotional'series a masterpiece worthy of possession.
The 'Emotional'series provides 3 stand types with a black and white color selection and a luxurious glossy finishing for the final touch to allow consumers to choose the style of their desire.
All in all, the 'Emotional'series is not simply a monitor. It is an evolutionary user-friendly concept that enables emotional communication between user and product.
LG's goal is to become the number one in the global display market by achieving USD 10 billion in sales by 2010. To achieve this goal, LG will focus on securing our leadership in technology and new standards. nw
