CeBIT 2007 - Samsung display LED backlit 30 incher
Saturday 17th March 2007, 06:47:00 PM, written by Rys
Samsung have their brand new SyncMaster XL30 on display here at CeBIT. A 30 inch, 2560x1600 PC display like many others on the market, this one differentiates itself by being the first to have an all LED backlight, rather than the multi-lamp solutions its competitors carry.
In theory, the result is a more even backlight setup, less light bleeding and thus a more uniform and higher quality display to look at. In practice it was hard to verify Samsung's claims under the harsh lights of their CeBIT stand, even with the monitor wearing a light-occluding collar.
The backlighting seemed even enough, although one-colour images weren't on rotation on the software driving it. However it did look much better in terms of backlight bleed than their older SyncMaster 305T. Like the 305T, though, it seems to just have one dual-link DVI input. We vehemently boo and hiss in Samsung's general direction for that.
