LG Electronics has announced its new W53 SMART monitor series with what it says are "cutting-edge SMART technologies" that claim to offer top picture quality while greatly reducing eyestrain during extended use.With an "Auto Brightness" feature that means they automatically optimise their brightness and other picture settings based on the ambient light in the room and the content being viewed. The W53 series also has a proximity sensor under the bezel which detects when a hand approaches the screen and activates lights that make buttons easy to find when they are needed.There's also a "Cinema Mode", which blacks out everything except for the video clip, that LG says focuses the viewer's attention on the clip "and not on distracting ads".In addition, the monitors offer a timer function that reminds users to take a break from their work at predetermined intervals.
The W53 SMART monitors will be available in sizes from 18.5 to 27 inches with models 21.5 inches and up getting 1920 x 1080p full HD resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio.Other specs include a digital fine contrast ratio of up to 50,000:1 and a 2ms response time.Cinema Mode is the special feature of LG SMART W53 Monitor, which eliminates distractions when watching online videos. This unique setting blacks out everything except for the video clip, focusing the viewer’s attention on the desired content and not on distracting ads. Continuing the working smart and reducing eyestrain theme, these monitors also include a timer that reminds users to take a break from their work at predetermined intervals.
Reminders can easily be set to once per hour or at specific times through the same easy-to-use interface that controls the monitor’s settings.Helping further eliminate distractions, a proximity sensor under the W53’s bezel detects when a hand approaches the screen and activates lights that make buttons easy to find when they are needed. When not in use, the lights disappear, giving the monitor a sleeker, cleaner look.
