Here’s today’s latest ‘World’s best’ product: the Flatron L1982U 19in LCD. It has supposedly got the world’s highest contrast ratio of 3000:1 for an LCD computer display. It’s pretty slick looking with its piano-black finish and round, height-adjustable stand.
It boasts a 2ms response time, which is very good indeed, and should eliminate any ghosting you might find when watching sports or fast-moving parts in movies. An Auto Bright function lets the display adjust the brightness depending on the ambient light and it has a 170 degree viewing angle.
There is slide and tilt functionality and the monitor will correct whatever is on-screen automatically to suit the angle. The company said that the existing Red-Dot/IF Design award-winning models, LG L1900J and LG L1970HR, have also had their contrast boosted to 3000:1.
No price yet but you can be sure that those superior black levels will cost you.-Martin Lynch
