LG's unique Flatron perfect flat tube monitors feature higher brightness, sharpness and contrast compared to typical monitors. The flat tube design (flat outside, flat inside) eliminates distracting reflections and special screen coatings dramatically reduce glare and improve contrast, making long periods of use more comfortable, with less fatigue. These features, combined with a fine .24mm stripe pitch slot mask, produce the most vivid images ever, without the thick glass or horizontal and damper wires found on other "flat-ish" monitors.
