Samsung To Boost LCDs"> Samsung To Boost LCDs

Samsung announced today that it was planning to invest $275 million to build a second LCD plant. According to CIO Today, “Samsung and Japanese rival Sony Corp. have established a joint venture for the world’s first seventh-generation LCD production line in Asan, about 120 kilometers (70 miles) south of Seoul. The plant is due to begin production in the first half of 2005. The construction of a second seventh-generation LCD line is in response to the rapid growth in demand for 30-inch and larger LCD televisions, it said.”

Alice Says: if you want a spectacular LCD monitor, I urge you to look at the Samsung 213 T. The 21 inch LCD blew me out of the water with its overall brightness, crisp whites, jet blacks, and a razor sharp resolution. You can rotate the display and use it like a long tall page for web browsing, or just wallow in all the screen space. My complete review is here. Did I mention it was less than $950?
