The W606 monitor from LG brings a contrast ratio of 10,000 to 1

High-fidelity movie fans surely know how difficult it is to watch the favorite movies on an average, low-definition computer monitor. Unless you are a DivX movie fan, you know that the picture quality is highly

affected by the monitor's low contrast ratio. The new monitors from LG come to fix the glitch and give watching movies on the good-old PC system a new sense.

The new W606 monitor from LG boasts an impressive 10,000:1 contrast ratio, and it comes with the highest specifications set for a Digital Fine Contrast (DFC) monitor manufactured by LG. The monitor comes to meet user's increased demand in web-to-tv services (also known as TV-over-IP).

The available details regarding LG's new offering are still scarce, but what we have seen speaks for itself.
"The monitor offers greater depth when viewing movies, making darks darker and whites whiter. The higher ratio offers greater image clarity and colur shading not previously experienced on a computer screen," claimed a LG spokesperson.

As far as we can tell, the new monitor offering from LG won't deliver 1080p high-definition yet, but it will probably boast a blaring 1680�1050 resolution, which should do the trick anyway. Moreover, it would be common-sense for a movie-ready LCD monitor to come with the high-definition HDMI connector to allow its interconnection to other home-theater high-definition video appliances.

If the new offering has not convinced you yet, you can opt-in for one of the other monitors released by LG this week. The new available models are the M1921A, M198WA, M208WA, M228WA & M228WD HD with screen sizes of between 19 and 22 inch. The M-Series monitors bring an unique multimedia experience given by a monitor and a HD-ready television comprised in a single casing.
