IFA 2011: LG Brings Things Back to Normal With 23-Inch IPS Monitor

So many things have been shown at this year's IFA trade show, especially on the display market, that the new 3D monitor that LG put on display might be one of, if not the most normal of them all.

One of the things on display at LG's booth in Berlin, Germany, is the Cinema 3D D237IPS.

We actually have two fellow editors there, taking all pictures of many items, and this happened to be among them.

The name alone is enough to gleam the major elements that define the panel, namely the screen size (23 inches diagonal) and the IPS display.

For those that like numbers, the aspect ratio is of 16:9 and the native resolution is the expected 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD).

The rest of the figures are decent to impressive, though not unheard of on a market that is already close to reaching and even surpassing the Full HD standard as mainstream specification.

A dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 is paired with a brightness of 250 cd/m2 (100 cd/m2 in 3D) and a GTG response time of 5 ms.

Indeed, this item has support for the 3D mode, and even comes with 2D to 3D conversion, as well as Super Energy Saving and auto brightness control.

Finally, a VESA mount is included in the offer and, for connectivity, LG threw in D-sub, DVI-D, HDMI 1.4 and a headphone out.

Under normal circumstances, this product wouldn't get called in any way normal. The mere fact that it supports 3D would be enough to ensure that.

However, the simple fact is that this LG Cinema 3D D237IPS had the misfortune of being brought to the same show as Philips Gold and Platinum Edition Smart Led TVs and, more importantly, the 8K4K Sharp LCD that puts everything out there, and Full HD in general, to shame.

Those so inclined can look at the any of the products we got our hands on here.
