Samsung Adds Slim Touch of Color LCD Monitors

Samsung Electronics announced the release of its 70 Series Monitors. The three new monitors (models P2070, P2370, and P2370HD) offer a dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 for deep, rich colors. To minimize blurring during fast-action game play, the monitors feature a 2ms (GTG) video response time.

The P2070 and P2370 have slim screen depths of 30 mm (1.18 inches). The P2370HD is slightly thicker at 65.5mm (2.58 inches). For a clean look, Samsung has integrated the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel.

The P2370 offers full HD 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080). The P2370HD offers the same capabilities as the P2370 with the addition of a HDTV tuner, integrated speakers with SRS TruSurround HD, and a remote control. The P2370HD also offers HDMI and component inputs for additional connections.

The 70 Series are also eco-friendly, requiring about a third less power to operate in comparison to monitors of a similar size. All three new monitors are currently available through Samsung resellers and distribution channels. The full press release for the monitors is below.

Samsung 70 Series Design-forward, Eco-Friendly, Monitors Offer HD Quality for Entertainment and Productivity

Samsung Electronics America, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, the number one worldwide brand of LCD display products, today announced the release of its 70 Series Monitors: the P2070, P2370 and P2370HD. These slim LCD monitors, with screen depths of 30 mm (1.18 inches) for the P2070 and P2370 and 65.5mm (2.58 inches) for the P2370HD and Touch of Color (ToC) design, are the latest release of Samsung’s high performance displays.

“The 70 Series offers our customers a sophisticated-looking LCD monitor with the performance capability of our televisions,” said J.H. Kim, President of Samsung Electronics America’s Information Technology Division. “The 70 Series is the new standard as more people upgrade their monitors for additional uses, like watching television programs and playing video games.”

The 70 Series Monitors are ideal for office applications and entertainment with its dynamic contrast ratio (50,000:1) for deep, rich colors, while the 2ms (GTG) video response time minimizes blurring for watching sports and fast-moving gameplay. The crystal-like bezel frame with ToC reduces the reflection of light and glare. The glossy stand offers a polished design, while the clear, crystal-like acrylic neck gives the illusion the monitor is floating.


Samsung’s Startlight Touch Controls integrate the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel for a seamless look and feel, eliminating obtrusive buttons on the front or sides on the panel. Gently touching any of the buttons illuminates the controls which automatically disappear after a set period of time, minimizing distractions.

The P2370 offers full HD 1080p resolution (1920x1080) for optimized viewing of HD content. For full HDTV capability, the P2370HD builds on the 1080p capabilities of the P2370 with the addition of a HDTV tuner, integrated speakers with SRS TruSurround HD(r) and remote control. In addition, the P2370HD also has HDMI and component inputs for additional connections such as Blu-Ray, set-top boxes and game consoles providing users with a display that is ready for work and play.

“The 70 Series is a great monitor for someone looking a full range of color, sharpness and response. It also has an added benefit for those concerned about the environment. We were sensitive to the impact computers monitors have on the environment and have developed a manufacturing process for the 70 Series that would minimize this,” said Tony Yu, Display Product Manager of Samsung Electronics America’s Information Technology Division.

The 70 Series offers a suite of eco-conscious features including reduced energy consumption, requiring about a third less power to operate compared to typical monitors of similar size. The ToC manufacturing process eliminates harmful paints and sprays, increasing the monitors’ recyclability. The slim footprint also dramatically reduces transportation costs and requirements for a smaller carbon footprint.
