14 DAY TRIAL // Since there really isn't much that one can customize in an all-in-one PC, beyond storage, memory and CPU anyway, LG decided to make its newest invention of this sort stand out through two display assets.
All-in-one systems still have that problem of costing a bit too much compared to regular desktops of similar prowess, but they are getting sold anyway.
Mostly, this is because they have definite advantages when it comes to space efficiency and, thus, appeal to business users and consumers that appreciate this advantage.
The newest such system from LG is one that, with a screen size of 23 inches, integrates both touch support and 3D capabilities.
A pair of polarized glasses will be needed to enjoy the 3D effect, but this condition is no different form the one posed by pretty much every other 3D panel out there, save the select few and still far from perfect eyewear-free models.
That said, the heart of the system is an Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 central processing unit, while an AMD Radeon HD 6650M graphics card can supplement the built-in Intel HD 3000 GPU.
Additionally, up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory are present, along with a hard disk drive of 750 GB (or less).
Furthermore, an ODD exists (DVD or Blu-ray), along with Bluetooth, WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB 3.0, HDMI and even WiDi (Intel Wireless Display) support.
Finally, the screen has the expected support for Full HD image quality (1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution) while Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit runs everything. Availability will arise in June.
“The combination of the newest Intel Core processor and the FPR display in the LG V300 is going to create a new level of performance and viewing experience in a PC,” said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the LG Electronics PC Business Unit.
“With millions of homes now using their PCs as entertainment hubs, marrying the best from the computing world with the best from the display world was the next natural step in the evolution of the PC.”
