LG develops ‘world’s first’ WiDi-enabled LCD panel for easy media streaming
Posted in: Today's ChiliIf you like to stream content but you already have too many set-top boxes in your house, LG wants to help. Having already committed to implementing 5G WiFi chips in its upcoming HDTVs earlier in the year, LG Display has developed a PC monitor that, it claims, is the first to integrate Intel’s Wireless Display (WiDi) tech directly into the LCD component. It’s not the biggest panel out there, at 23.8 inches, but it does mean you’ll be able to stream anything you like from your WiDi-enabled laptop without additional gear. And while the market for WiDi-enabled displays is pretty thin right now, LG has said it will offer up its integrated panel tech to OEMs and other monitor makers, suggesting that you’ll soon have a multiplicity of options for your streaming needs.

Samsung’s continuing the UHD TV march here at IFA with plenty of sets, but it’s also showing a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) 31.5-inch monitor that’s built to sit on your desktop. Crisp images deliver on the Ultra High Definition promise, but the colors are particularly vibrant, due in part to the LED panel’s ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors and pictures that can cram in 99 percent of Adobe’s RGB color spectrum. Because of that, the set easily distances itself from others that have flat, dull image reproduction. However, viewing angles leave something to be desired, as standing far off to the side clouds the monitor. Not only does this piece of kit churn out good imagery, but it easily tilts and pivots into a vertical position, to boot. When it comes to connectivity, the screen packs four USB ports and slots for HDMI, DVI-DL and DPX2. If you’re ready to hook up this display to your PC, there will be some waiting involved — no pricing or release details have been divulged. If you’d like to gawk at the firm’s hardware, look out below for our gallery.%Gallery-slideshow83282%
