Samsung releases the 1080p 2494HS SyncMaster LCD monitor

Samsung has something special today with the 23-inch 2494HS SyncMaster LCD full HD monitor. It comes packing with HDMI, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, but most importantly, a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Not only does the monitor have DVI-D and VGA, but also a HDCP friendly HDMI input which will work nicely with computers, Blu-ray players, and yup, even Netflix via Xbox 360. The monitor is expected to carry a MSRP of 40,000 yen ($420 USD) when it drops in the Japanese market in the middle of December.
