LG have recently announced the launch of their new W20 series of screens, featuring a range of features including IPS panel technology, and even RGB LED backlighting in some cases. These new screens and aimed primarily at graphics use and for people who need accurate colours. "With the W20 series, we are serving both graphics beginners and users with professional demands”, explains Nils Seib, Manager for Public Relations, LG Electronics Deutschland GmbH.
- W2420R - 24" IPS panel with RGB LED backlighting covering a reported 100% of the AdobeRGB colour space, which equates to 135% of the NTSC colour space. This model also features hardware based calibration using the LGE Calibrator tool, and a light protection hood. The screen will offer a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 6ms G2G response time (although for some reason this is specified as ISO on the German LG sites - fairly sure it should be G2G though), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles. The W2420R features a 12-bit LUT This model comes in a matte black finish as shown above
- W2420P - 24", 1920 x 1200 resolution, 5ms G2G response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles. This model comes in a silver finish.

All models in the W20 range feature 2x HDMI interfaces, DVI-D (HDCP supported) and a D-sub interface for connectivity. Each comes with a height-adjustable rotating and tilting base as well as touch-sensitive surfaces and hotkeys.
