South Korea’s LG Electronics has announced a new line of “Smart” W53 widescreen LCD monitors that look to make the everyday computer display a little easier to use—and friendlier on the eyes. The new monitors feature a notebook-like auto brightness feature that enables them to automatically adjust their brightness based on ambient light around them; other features include cinema mode that blanks out everything except on-screen video, and a proximity sensor that illuminates controls only when a user’s hand gets near them.
