We've harped about manufacturers constantly pushing nearly useless dynamic contrast numbers (http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/14/whats-dynamic-contrast-anyways/) on us for so long that we half-expected this announcement to be about some phantom billion to one number. Well done Samsung, then, for focusing on the static (or real) contrast ratio of 3,000:1 on its sparkling new F2370H and F2380MX 23-inchers. These are certainly not the first panels to reach that plateau (check the Prad link below showing the Eizo EV2333 achieving 5,000:1 in testing), but let's not argue over PR semantics. They do boast higher contrast than most and both come with 1920 x 1080 resolution and HDMI inputs, whereas the more professionally oriented 2380 model (see our hands-on here (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkr.engadget.com%2F2009%2F11%2F29%2F it-month-2009-syncmaster-f2380%2F&sl=ko&tl=en)) also boasts height and swivel adjustments along with an extra DVI port. Priced at 397,000 KRW ($350) and 417,000 KRW ($370), the two new SyncMasters are coming to Korea soon and the rest of the world seems an inevitability as well.Samsung unveils SyncMasters with the 'world's highest' contrast ratio (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/samsung-unveils-syncmasters-with-the-worlds-highest-contrast/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:01:00 EST.
