LG E90 Ultra Slim LED Monitor Is Just 7.2 mm Thick

Having announced this 21.5-inch LED-backlit monitor globally earlier, LG has launched it in India now. Among the highlights, are the full-HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels), 2ms response time, and lower power consumption as it uses an LED backlight (most LCDs use CCFL backlight instead). The "ultra slim" title of course, is because the LG E90 is claimed to be only 7.2 mm thick - less than one cm, which would make it the slimmest monitor in the market so far


For connectivity to PC, the LG E90 offers DVI, HDMI and VGA input ports. The power socket and power supply for the monitor are placed behind its stand, which LG calls "EZ cabling". The E90 is claimed to be on display at the CES 2011 Innovations Awards, where it will be recognized as an "Honoree" product in the computer peripherals category. The LG E90 Ultra Slim 21.5-inch LED monitor will retail at Rs. 16,900; a price premium of about 50% over other LED monitors in the market.
"As always, we have tried to provide an innovative offering that would meet the need of the consumers through the advanced technology of LG E90. We are positive that the monitor's great features and design will set new benchmarks in the LED monitor segment," said Mr. R. Manikandan, Business Head - B2B, LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. "Also, recent recognitions at the market place reflect the acceptance that our products enjoy amongst consumers and motivate us further to come up with such new unique offerings."

The two images above show a front and rear profile respectively, of the LG E90. Notice how the video input connectivity ports are located at the rear, on the stand itself at the bottom, which is unusual. The image on the right hand side showcases a side profile of the monitor, which does look extremely thin.
