SINGAPORE , 3 August 2007 – Samsung Electronics, the worldwide market leader in LCD displays, today unveiled the Samsung 226CW Widescreen LCD Monitor at the World Cyber Games in Singapore. The official monitor of the World Cyber Games 2007, the 226CW features 1680 x 1050 resolution which enables it to display colours close to vivid reality. Together with a 2 ms response time and 3,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the 226CW offers gamers the ultimate gaming experience.

“Our research has shown that image quality is the top attribute that is desired by every gamer and the Samsung 226CW Widescreen LCD Monitor has been developed with these gamers in mind,” said Mr. Ng Long Shyang, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Telecommunications and IT products. “Samsung is proud to be a worldwide sponsor of the World Cyber Games since 2000. We believe that this is a great platform to demonstrate our leadership and expertise in LCD monitors and showcase our top-class gaming equipment to international gamers who are technology opinion leaders.”

Part of Samsung’s Wide Colour Gamut series, the Samsung 226CW features 97 per cent of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) colour gamut for CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) displays. The 226CW’s upgraded CCFL colour display has been extended within the red and green spectrum to showcase deeper, more multi-dimensional pictures. This groundbreaking colour range is an 18 per cent improvement on the previous standard for LCD monitors.

With the 226CW, gaming enthusiasts can expect a theatre-quality visual experience combined with rich, clear images visible even during dark and dramatic game scenes. The 226CW’s widescreen and dynamic contrast ratio outlines every detail while its rapid response time, with Fast Image Processing, enables precision imaging with no ghosting whilst gaming or watching action movies.

“Competitive and casual gamers will be dazzled by the Samsung 226CW LCD Monitor and its exceptional image quality. PC games come to life on this incredible widescreen display with never-before-seen colours and razor sharp details,” said Mr Wilson Chia, one of Singapore’s top gamers and the Singapore champion for Dead or Alive 4 at the World Cyber Games 2006.

The 226CW LCD Monitor is also designed to fit seamlessly into any home or office environment. Its distinct glossy piano-black finish with curved edges and discreet blue LED power button ensure the user’s focus is on the widescreen display for an optimum viewing experience.

The Windows Vista Certified Samsung 226CW LCD Monitor comes with user-friendly features such as the proprietary MagicBright3 that enables easy optimisation across different modes – Internet, Game, Movie, Text, among others – with one click. The 226CW also complies with VESA standards and can be wall-mounted.

The Samsung 226CW Widescreen LCD Monitor is available at a recommended retail price of $660. The Wide Colour Gamut series includes a 19 inch model, the 931CW, available at a recommended retail price of $415.
