Samsung Introduces Three LCD Monitors




Optimized all-in-one communication platform

Samsung 963UW, 2263UW and 2463UW LCD monitors are certified for Microsoft Windows Vista Premium and optimized single platforms for streamlined communications on Microsoft’s Office Communicator 2007. Each monitor is equipped with a built-in 3.0M pixel high-resolution webcam for instant video chats, a dual-array microphone, and speakers, making the monitors an ideal choice for true-to-life web conferencing, which can reduce long-distance phone costs and the need for frequent business travel. With the new Samsung LCD monitors, users can interact with friends, families and colleagues around the world without needing to pick up a phone, put on a headset or lean into a microphone.


Samsung - ArcSoft jointly developed software for innovative communication
The three new monitors are compatible with various creative, interesting and easy-to-use applications that facilitate astonishingly user-friendly communication convergence:

WebCam Companion; This software allows users to enjoy all-in-one communication through unique features such as:
Video Chat -- the built-in 3.0 mega pixel webcam enables users to launch video chat directly;
Motion detection -- motion images can be recorded anytime during video chat by the motion detection function, which also enables the monitor to serve as a surveillance device;
Capture -- users can easily capture video or take snapshots through the webcam while there is also a customized short-cut button for photo-shooting and launching MSN Messenger directly;
Editing -- images can be trimmed and enhanced from video content and saved in web- and email-friendly formats for easy sharing.

Magic-iTM Effects; Extra dimensions such as visual effects, frames and themes can be added onto video chats. And special features such as automatic face tracking and video enhancement enrich video chat.

Media ImpressionTM; Media ImpressionTM provides a powerful media management solution with a simple, yet versatile, way of sharing, editing and managing media content by ratings, tagging and creating slide shows or movies. Fun and creative effects, such as creating slide shows or movies complete with soundtracks, are also available.



Unique design and unrivalled technology

The sleek, sophisticated exteriors of the new LCD display monitors are the perfect complement to the amazing images they produce. The soft curves of the high-gloss frames evoke the elegance of handcrafted crystal while the built-in speakers and touch-sensitive buttons add to the stylish and modern designs. The combination of these design elements helps to enhance whatever environment the monitors are placed within.


The new LCD monitors offer high resolution – 1440 x 990 for the 19-inch screen and 1680 x 1050 for the 22-inch and a high definition output of 1920 x 1200 for the 24-inch – giving users impressive image display. With a wide 170/160 viewing angle and 8,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the Samsung 963UW and 2263UW LCD monitors provide precise and clear image quality, and maximum versatility. The Samsung 2463UW LCD monitor provides even a higher dynamic contrast ration of 20,000:1 with a 160/160 viewing angle, ensuring brighter and clearer visibility with rich image detail. Additionally, these innovative displays feature Samsung’s MagicBright3 technology, as well as a 5ms fast response time, enhancing the total viewing experience and reducing blurring and ghosting when using multimedia applications.

Fully equipped with a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connection, the Samsung 2263UW and 2463UW LCD monitors become a centrepiece for all multimedia needs, connecting HD digital devices such as AC devices, game consoles, digital cameras and camcorders into the HDMI ports to deliver the ultimate home entertainment experience.

Environmentally-friendly and energy-saving features

The newly released monitors do not just reduce the burden of high electricity costs but are environmentally friendly products. Compared to existing models, the three new monitors reduce power consumption by more than 30 Watts during operation. The monitors are compliant with Energy Star, a joint program of the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Energy Department to promote energy efficiency. They also come with the Off Timer function (within 1 - 23hours), which can automatically turn off the monitor at a specified time set by users. This newly-introduced energy-saving function reduces power consumption and prolongs monitor lifetime.


Samsung monitor products improve the well-being of customers by complying with RoHS standards that restrict the use of hazardous substances. They can also be disposed of in an environmentally-safe manner. For extra peace of mind, the monitors also carry the Samsung ECO Mark, certifying that eco-friendly components and packing materials are used and the products promote power saving. Samsung also brings to the market products that conserve energy; monitors are automatically set to Digital Power Management Signaling (DPMS) mode to decrease power consumption to less than one watt under the PC power-saving mode.
