Background and Identification
Samsung spans numerous sectors of the consumer market, manufacturing electronics and home appliances, selling everything from a smartphone to a vacuum cleaner. Samsung originated as a company in 1938 when it was founded by Lee Byung-chul in South Korea. The company’s origins are vastly different from its activities today. Samsung started out as a small company with just forty employees that sold groceries, dried fish, and noodles. Around 1954, Samsung began expanding, dabbling in areas like insurance and retail. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that Samsung got involved in the electronics industry.
Samsung manufactures a variety of computer monitors, including flat, curved, and gaming models. Newer Samsung monitors are designed to offer “eye saver mode” where the display is set to reduce blue light emissions, which are linked to eye fatigue. Samsung monitors are also designed to be adjustable with ergonomics in mind, meaning they can be set up for maximum user comfort.
Samsung monitors vary in display size and shape. All models have a screen of some type mounted to a base. Samsung monitors are designed to sit on a desk or table surface. Samsung monitors are either flat or curved, with sizes ranging from 24 to 34 inches. They are black in color and include the Samsung logo printed on the front center of the monitor, just below the screen.
