Innovative 10-Point IPS Monitor Expands the Horizon of Touchscreen Technology
SEOUL,
Oct. 31, 2012 -– LG Electronics (LG) introduced its Touch 10 monitor
(model: ET83), optimized for use with Windows 8, which was launched by
Microsoft last week. Whereas conventional touchscreens enable two-finger
dragging, scrolling and pinching, LG’s 23-inch Touch 10 monitor allows
all ten fingers to be used simultaneously. The Touch 10 monitor is an
excellent choice for those looking to enjoy an enhanced touch computing
experience without having to upgrade their entire PC.
“This
is a compelling new product that re-imagines the touch experience and
shows that LG is an industry leader in developing the next generation of
touch monitor products,” said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and
Head of the IT Business Unit at the LG Home Entertainment Company.
“Smartphones and tablets have already proven that consumers are ready to
fully embrace touch features. Our 10-point touchscreen takes it one
step further by exponentially expanding the range of interactive
possibilities. We believe this technology will excite and inspire
software developers and users alike.”
For
tablet and smartphone owners, the Touch 10 monitor will feel like a huge
improvement in the intuitive user experience they’re familiar with.
Most touchscreens utilize a two-finger recognition system which allows
for basic manipulation of onscreen elements. LG’s Touch 10 monitor
affords users the ability to use all their fingers at the same time,
meaning they can perform a number of new actions, such as dragging and
rotating multiple items simultaneously. The highly responsive touch
screen also enables the user to take advantage of Windows 8 features,
including the on-screen keyboard. The Touch 10 monitor also supports a
capacitive stylus (purchased separately) should the user prefer a
pen-like interface.
It’s
great to see LG bringing touch to computing in innovative new ways,”
said John Case, Vice President WW OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corporation.
“Pairing LG’s Touch 10 monitor with a desktop or non-touch laptop will
help create amazing Windows 8 touch experiences for customers.”
The
impressive 23-inch monitor is great for musical applications featuring
virtual pianos, synthesizers and string instruments. A bigger display is
also makes watching movies, playing games and children’s educational
programs much more enjoyable. A range of touch-friendly apps is
available from the Windows Store. Moreover, from a consumer standpoint,
the monitor’s setup is refreshingly hassle-free; full touch
functionality is available as soon as the monitor is connected, and no
extra software is required.
To
ensure optimal picture quality, the monitor utilizes an advanced
In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel. IPS displays have inherent advantages
over conventional Twisted Nematic (TN) displays in terms of both color
and clarity. The range of colors displayed is both vibrant and
naturalistic, with good contrast and overall consistency. IPS technology
also provides a more comfortable viewing experience for the user,
reducing eye strain and thereby allowing extended periods of use.
The Touch 10 monitor will be available in Korea next month followed by markets in Europe and elsewhere.
