Innovative
10-Point IPS Monitor Expands the Horizon of Touchscreen Technology
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.
