You've probably heard the legions of Vista users complaining about TFT LCD 22-inch monitors. Enough already! Samsung is now yelling that their 24-inch panels are the solution to making the freshly grown "Longhorn" embryo almost "desktop ubiquitous".

Apparently, the extra couple of inches will make room for a pair of A4 sheets. In addition, "industry experts" (more like Samsung PR specialists) said that the 24 inches will provide a better Windows Vista fit when it comes to the Vista right side bar and margins.

Given that a 22 inches LCD is not wide enough to support full-HD, it wouldn't be a waste on you if you happen to be a graphic designer that wear glasses or one of those that has the tendency to shrink and move toolbars areas in the left side corner of the screen, for instance. Samsung's new LCD supports WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200 LCD ) and its LED-blacklit has an industry-high color saturation level of 111% of the NTSC color gamut (compared to a saturation level of only 72% for conventional LCD panels), giving you the crisp colors that are prevalent in high-definition broadcasting.

The new monitor display also includes Samsung's highly successful S-PVA (Super Patterned-ITO Vertical Alignment) technology that provides a wide angle of 180 degrees, at the highest contrast ratio for LCD monitors today : "greater than 1000:1".

Note to the Greenpeace activists that use Vista: the new screen's blacklight is environmentally friendly due to the fact that the LED backlights don't use mercury. Satisfied?

The Samsung 24 Inch LED Backlit Monitor is actually around the corner, waiting to be released somewhere between the second quarter and third quarter of 2007. There's no word about the price though.
