LG ELECTRONICS EXPANDS I.T. PRODUCT PORTFOLIO, UNVEILING NEW LCD MONITORS, OPTICAL STORAGE OPTIONS

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2008 – LG Electronics has introduced three new series of uniquely styled LCD
monitors, three “Super Multi Blue” Blu-ray Disc Rewriters and a new super slim optical drive as part of
its expanded 2008 information technology (IT) product portfolio. The products are on display at the
2008 International CES® (Booth #8214, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center).

ADVANCED LCD MONITORS

LG Electronics’ flagship LCD monitors, the W52 series, combine cutting-edge performance with stylish
designs that easily integrate into any home office or high-end professional setting. The series’ 19-, 20-,
22-, and 24-inch monitors feature a high-gloss, piano black cabinet with a curved bezel accent. Digital
Fine Contrast Technology boosts the contrast ratio to 10,000:1, one of the highest available on the
market today.

The 19-, 20- and 22-inch models’ ultra-fast 2ms response time delivers sharp, crisp images with
reduced motion artifacts. LG’s “ez Zooming” technology helps users quickly change the image size and
resolution with just the click of a button, an ideal tool for smaller fonts or images that need to be
magnified.

All LG monitors use LG’s proprietary f-ENGINE, the world’s first picture-enhancing chip for desktop
monitors. f-ENGINE enhances brightness and color independently of each other, which makes these
units perfect for gaming, and graphic or video intensive projects. Additional monitors include:

• W00 Series (W3000, W2600) – Features support for “Full HD” 1080p resolution and incorporates
LG’s slim and narrow design. The unit has quick 5ms response time high contrast resolution (2,560
x 1,600 resolution, W3000; 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, W2600), and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It is
available in 26- and 30-inch models.

• L7W Series (L227WT) – The L7W series is sleek and quick. It has 2ms response time, 10,000:1
contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and an wide viewing angle of 170 x
170 degrees. It is available in a 22-inch model.
