User-Friendly Series Offer High Contrast Ratios for a Crystal-Clear, Life-Like
User Experience

    ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics today
announced the nationwide availability of three new series of LCD monitors
designed to deliver an enhanced gaming, graphics or multimedia experience.
Previewed in January at the 2008 International CES(R), LG's three new lines of
elegantly designed LCD monitors (the W52, W00 and L7W series) are available at
Best Buy, Circuit City, and other leading electronics retailers across the
United States.
    LG's distinctive technologies such as contrast ratios of 10,000:1 Digital
Fine Contrast Technology produce a crystal-clear image that is more
color-correct and lifelike, for an optimal viewing experience.  The W52 and
W00 series also offer "ez Zooming" technology, allowing users to quickly
change the image size and resolution with the click of a button, an ideal tool
for smaller fonts or images that need to be magnified.
    "LG Electronics appeals to the consumer by merging superior technologies
and contrast ratios with stunning design," said Marc Sorkin, senior marketing
manager for IT products, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "LG's new monitors have
taken cues from our trend-setting line of LG HDTVs and, as a result, look
terrific in the home or office."
    W52 Series -- Design that Packs a Punch
    LG's flagship W52 series LCD monitors, ranging in class sizes from 19- to
24-inches, were developed for those seeking sophisticated style and
user-friendly technologies. Their dramatic design is enhanced with a
high-gloss, piano black cabinet and a curved bezel accent to elevate the look
of a home office.
    All LG monitors use the proprietary f-ENGINE picture-enhancing chip for
desktop monitors. LG's f-ENGINE enhances brightness and color independently of
each other, which makes these units perfect for gaming, and graphic or video
intensive projects.  The W52 series starts with a retail price of $229.95 for
the 19-inch (18.9-inch diagonal) model $279.95 for the 20-inch (20.1-inch
diagonal) model, $319.95 for the 22-inch (22.0-inch diagonal) model and

technology with a slim and narrow design -- perfect for desks that never seem
to have enough room.  The 26- and 30-inch class "Full HD" 1080p monitors are
