Samsung is pushing further with greening its products with the release of the 50 and 30 series LED displays, dubbed by the maker as “environmentally-friendly” and that they offer “the most comfortable viewing experience.” Let’s take a closer look.

The latest Samsung displays offer full 1080p resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 2ms response time. Starting with the energy side of things, the LED-backlit monitors consume up to about 40% less energy and feature four energy-saving preset functions to control the screen brightness.

On the comfortable side, Samsung has incorporated the “Magic Angle” feature so that images are centered when viewed from any possible angle. And in case you’re using two of these for work, there’s the new “Magic Return” feature. When you shut one monitor down, the work will automatically be brought up on the remaining screen so you don’t miss a beat.
