Update: Samsung releases new dual purpose HDTV
August 5, 2010 by Derek
Samsung is known for updating its offerings pretty quickly much of the time, and now they’ve done it again with their latest release:
Samsung’s updating its SyncMaster monitors today with the new premium LED backlit 90 series. Most notable is the 24-inch FX2490HD model with integrated TV tuner and inputs in the form of 2x HDMI, D-Sub, and even SCART for Europe — sorry, no mention of DVI or DisplayPort that we can find. The panel itself sports a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 5ms response, 1,000:1 contrast, and 250 nits of brightness. Akihabara News adds a few details such as PiP support, a jack for viewing media direct from USB sticks, and support for 7.1 channel Dolby Digital and DTS audio.
It should arrive in the US and Europe as early as this month for around $540 or so.
