The World Cyber Games prides itself on leading the "Digital Entertainment Culture."
Samsung SyncMaster was chosen as the official monitor of World Cyber Games 2007
-LCD monitors were used in all the matches for the first time in WCG (World Cyber Games) history
-Enriched color expression, clear display and fast response time were the decisive factors in the decision
-Cemented Samsung LCD monitor’s status by proving to be the perfect fit for video games
Three models of Samsung LCD monitor (SyncMaster) were chosen as the official monitor of WCG, e-sports Olympics and will be used in national championships of Korea and the U.S. and the final match of WCG.
Until last year, CDT (Color Display Tube) monitors had been used for video games with fast images such as Starcraft. However, for the first time LCD monitors will be used in all the finals of WCG 2007.
Three models of SyncMaster chosen as the official monitor of WCG 2007 are the 19-inch CX930B (General), 931CW (Wide) and 22-inch CX226CW (Wide). These models are well received by customers due to enriched color expression, clear display and fast response time.
Among them, SyncMaster CX226CW (Wide) touts 97% color gamut just like conventional 19-inch models and 2 ms response time. Moreover, its upgraded contrast ratio of 3000:1 (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) ensures clear-cut images.
“As Samsung LCD monitors are going to be used in all the matches of WCG 2007, a global e-sports festival, Samsung Electronics took this golden opportunity to prove its LCD monitor’s status as the perfect fit for video game,” said Yun Ho Ha, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Division at Samsung Electronics.
