Samsung Releases Two New HDTV Ready LCD Monitors
Thu Oct 29, 2009 at 04:00 PM ETTags: Samsung, LCD (all tags)
Samsung announced the availability of a pair of HDTV ready monitors today, a 19” model with a 720p resolution and a 23” model with a full HD 1080p resolution.
With up to two HDMI inputs on the back and an integrated digital tuner, these monitors can be used for more than just the computer. Samsung’s Young Bae, director of Information Technology, says that these monitors were made especially for those with space restrictions. “With more users viewing HD broadcast, watching Blu-ray movies and playing video games on their monitors, the [19”] 933HD+ and [23”] 2333HD are space savers for those looking for a multi-purpose monitor to place in a tight space, like a studio apartment or dorm room.”
Both monitors come with built-in stereo speakers and component inputs. The 2333HD sports a pair of HDMI inputs while the 933HD+ only has one. They each feature a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and a 5 millisecond response time.
Available now online and in stores, the 933HD+ can be had for $249 and the 23” 2333HD for $329.

Vizio Brings LED Backlighting to Small Screen LCDs
Thu Oct 29, 2009 at 02:00 PM ETTags: Vizio, LCD (all tags)
A pair of backlit LCDs in 19” and 23” models will be hitting stores soon.
Let’s face it, small screen HDTVs don’t get a lot of love (unless they’re OLED anyway). They’re equipped with the absolute cheapest options available and marketed towards a user base that is looking for the cheapest possible way to get a small HD set. Anyone that wants a smaller set with big set features is out of luck. Vizio is banking on there being a lot of these people with the announcement of the VM190XVT and VM230XVT LED backlit LCD televisions.
Both of Vizio’s backlit LCDs feature a thin design, with a profile of less than an inch. Both offer contrast ratios of 20,000:1 and SRS TruVolume and TruSurround HD as well as a response time of only 5ms.
The primary difference between the two televisions is that, although it may be too small to be noticed anyway, the 19” VM190XVT is 720p, while its 23” bigger brother offers a full 1080p picture. Interestingly, according to Vizio’s site, the 19” model also lacks a remote.
The VM190XVT will run $349 when it is released, and the VM230XVT will sell for $399. No release date has yet been announced.
