IPS-based displays were made famous by Apple. The viewing angle, as well as the production of crisp colors was one of the reasons the iPad was such a big success. And now LG wants to get in on the IPS goodness. The company has just announced four brand new desktop monitors, all of which are equipped with the display technology. Three of them are designed for the house, while one is meant for the “pro” market.

The IPS206T, IPS226V, and IPS236V models are the ones destined to find their place on someone’s desk, tucked nicely away in their home. LG is boasting that despite the remarkably thin size of the monitors, the color clarity and accuracy is top-notch. All of the displays feature a depth of just 0.76 inches, while the power consumption of the models has been dropped to only 27%. The IPS206T spans 20-inches, while the IPS226V is 21.5-inches. The IPS236V and IPS2321P are all set at 23-inches. All of the models feature LED-backlighting, too.

The IPS206T doesn’t feature 1080p HD resolution, but the other three do. The latter three also promote a response time of 6ms. Each of the displays feature a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, and a 250cd/m2 brightness. And with the IPS-based displays, you can expect the same 178-degree viewing angle. The three home models are all housed in a black plastic frame, and the stand itself is fixed. However, if you want to swivel, pivot, and tilt your display, than the IPS2321P Pro model will be your choice model. It also features built-in speakers. There isn’t any word on pricing or release date, but those details are supposed to break cover soon.

It’s becoming progressively easier to land LCD monitors with IPS panels (as opposed to the decidedly less stunning TN panels), but given that there’s rarely ever enough competition to truly push prices as far south as we consumers would like, we’re welcoming LG’s latest with wide open arms. The outfit has just issued a new foursome — the IPS2062T, IPS226V, IPS236V and IPS231P — of LED-backlit displays, with sizes running 20-, 21.5-, 23- and 23-inches in order of mention. The larger three offer 1,920 x 1,080 resolutions with a six millisecond response time, and the whole lot offers a deceiving 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 250 nits of brightness and 178-degree viewing angles. You’ll find plenty of glossy black to go around, but sadly you’ll find plenty of questions when it comes to pricing and release dates.

We already knew about Samsung’s grand plans for expanding its display production in 2011, but now we also have a number to give us a sense of scale: 30 million. That’s how many screens the new Mobile Display fab (set to go live in July) will be able to churn out in a month, a vastly superior rate than the current 3 million maximum. Lee Woo-Jong, the display business’ marketing VP, tells us its estimates for AMOLED market demand have been revised upwards to 700 million units in 2015, with the new facility obviously being the key cog in making that growth happen. Intriguingly, he also notes that Super AMOLED — one of the big attractions of the Galaxy S line of Samsung phones — is not exclusive to Samsung’s electronics arm, everyone can apparently use it. That directly contradicts what we heard from Sammy’s mobile reps, but then this is hardly the first time that one part of Samsung doesn’t know what the other is doing. Still, it’s nice to at least dream of a S-AMOLED HTC HD7, no?

Samsung Mobile Display promises 10x increase in production next year, end to AMOLED shortages originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:44:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
