LG leads the evolution of monitor TV with the new M50D. Its beautiful vivid picture quality with superb contrast ratio is matched only by its slim design. It is optimised for various digital broadcasting formats such as MPEG4, DVBC, DVBT, FHD and more. And it also plays media files without a PC through a USB port. Take a glimpse into the future of monitor TV through LG’s new M50D, and witness what lies beyond technology.
What you need to know about Monitors
Also referred to as “response rate” or “latency,” an LCD monitor's response time indicates how fast it can display moving images. Response time measures how quickly the monitor’s individual pixels can change colours (as indicated in milliseconds)—the lower the number, the faster the pixel change rate.
More formally defined, response time is the time it takes for an LCD pixel to change from a completely active black state, to a completely inactive white state and back again. However, in real-world use, pixels are rarely in an all-white or all-black state, so manufactures will often report the speed at which pixels change from colour to colour (also called “grey-to-grey” speed). The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) will soon introduce specifications to standardise response time reports, in an effort to make these numbers more comparable.
However response time is measured, faster is better when it comes to your viewing experience. If an LCD's response time is too slow, the display's pixels won't be able to keep up with the information sent from the computer's graphics card, and you'll see ghosting, streaking, and digital noise as a result. This is especially true for games, movies, and graphic applications.
While most manufacturers recommend a response time of around 12–15ms as a baseline for average use, response times are falling quickly as LCD technology becomes more advanced. For example, LG currently offers many LCD monitors with a response time of 5ms. Ultra-low response times help you get the most out of today’s cutting-edge games, videos, and graphics applications—and help you keep pace with the ever-faster applications of tomorrow.
Design plays a critical role in harmonising technology and human needs. In an effort to predict emerging needs and deliver innovative products to the public, LG has developed a comprehensive design philosophy for monitors that boils down to four basic elements: concept, style, interface, and finish.
At the LG Life Soft Research Lab, established almost 20 years ago, researchers, designers, and trend scouts work to predict the future by examining and identifying consumer desires; observing the public's interest in products; and developing design concepts and solutions based on this research.
This is how LG stays one step ahead of the game—we’re always working on products for the future. Our research is focused not only on new products and technological trends, but also on understanding customer and market behaviour.
LG has set a new standard for LCD monitors by focusing on the designs that consumers want and the features they demand. LG FLATRON and LG Fantasy monitors have cumulatively won seven iF and Reddot Product Design Awards for their keen ergonomics, unique design, and innovative LED backlight technology. These monitors also boast the exclusive LG f-EngineTM and Digital Fine Contrast (DFC) technologies, which optimise image quality, contrast ratio, and colour reproduction. LG monitors can adapt to the needs of business users, gamers, graphic artists, and multimedia enthusiasts.
Under the Energy Saving Recommended scheme, only products that meet strict criteria of energy efficiency can carry the Energy Saving Recommended logo. The criteria of the Energy Saving Recommended scheme are set by an independent panel and reviewed annually. The Energy Saving Trust® also tests a percentage of these products to ensure that where there’s a logo, there's a smarter choice. The Energy Saving Trust® aims to make it easy—whatever the product, whatever the labelling system—just look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo.
LG Electronics is one of the largest global companies of its kind. Because of this, we feel we have a social responsibility to actively take on the environmental issues that arise from the carbon output of our industry. We have implemented, and are continuing to perfect, two independent strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of our company:
1. Develop more environmentally friendly technologies in our factories
2. Continuously raise the energy efficiency of our products
LG helps consumers reduce greenhouse gas production by providing them with products that meet the Energy Saving Trust®’s Energy Saving Recommended standards.

M50D Series is a stylishly designed premium LED LCD monitor TV. Compared to normal LCD, LED offers various features including true-to-life pictures supported by Mega Contrast Ratio and a stylish design much slimmer and lighter increasing space efficiency. Free of hazardous materials, LED is an eco-friendly technology that contributes to preserving the environment by reducing energy consumption and heat generation.
M50D supports full HD (1920x1080 pixel) resolution for never-before-seen clarity and sharpness. With details closer to real life, it provides advanced quality that used to be impossible with existing SD images.
Enjoy real viewing pleasure with full HDTV through M50D’s built-in DTV tuner that supports MPEG4, DVBC, DVBT, and other digital TV broadcasting standard signals!
(Freeview HD channels require connection to external device)
The monitor’s built-in Quick View HD Play function frees you from having to boot your computer to view video clips and pictures or listen to mp3 files. The function enables the instant playback of video clips stored on USB memory devices by simply connecting the USB to the monitor.
An HDMI connector as well as various connectors for D-sub, USB, Composite, and component are provided to support convenient multiple connection capabilities for viewing movies, playing games, and accessing digital camera’s contents.
The M50D’s Mega Contrast Ratio clearly distinguishes the brightness and darkness. It adds light and shade for a richer visual experience.
LG’s Surround X maximizes the reality of entertainment contents by delivering vivid 3D sound. By reproducing crisp and vivid human voice, Surround X brings life into the experience of watching movies and TV shows, playing games, and listening to music.
A soft violet light glows whenever the monitor is on, to give it a luxurious look.
M50D has lightning-fast response time of 5ms, enabling the reproduction of crisp images even when playing back fast and dynamic video clips. Enjoy speedy and dynamic online games, action films, and sports without any fuzziness or afterimage.
The 16:9 Real Wide screen enables the full screen rendition of movies without image distortion or letterboxing. Likewise, games and movies produced in 4:3 format can be enjoyed in their original form as they are converted and displayed without any distortion.
