Dell recently leaked a new 27-inch LCD screen which supports a maximum resolution of up to 1920x1200. Once CES started, they officially announced the display. The new LCD scren, which we didn’t get a chance to actually see on the CES show floor, turns out to very similar to Samsung’s model, the Syncmaster 275T, which Samsung was more than happy to place on display in its booth.

The two displays from Dell and Samsung, in truth, are practically identical to each other. In fact, they both even use the same LCD panel, the LTM270M1, which is manufactured by Samsung.

It has already been possible for quite some time to purchase full-HD (1920x1200) LCD screens. These displays, however, are only 24/25-inches while the new display from Samsung is 27-inches. Thus, the Syncmaster 275T can be considered the largest LCD screen whose native resolution is 1920x1200 and allows for viewing at 1080i and 1080p. The screen format is not 16:9, but actually 16:1.

The display also has some impressive technical characteristics. The contrast ratio is 3000:1 and the monitor has a 6 millisecond response speed. It comes with DVI-D, 15-pin D-Sub, S-Video, and component connectors.

The price of the monitor isn’t for budget consumers. Considering the many technical features and extremely large size, the monitor actually isn’t a bad deal for the suggested retail price of 999 USD. The Syncmaster 275T will be available for retail at the beginning of February 2007.
