It's nothing too astonishing in the specs department (300 nits, 60,000:1 contrast, 5ms response time), and the DVI and VGA plugs are rather lonesome without an HDMI or DisplayPort plug to tag along, but we can't fault AOC for the 2436Vw's $220 pricetag. The 49W of power draw in a 24-inch 1080p display doesn't hurt either, and we're sort of digging the clean design. The 2436Vw is out now.Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Logitech have outed another desktop keyboard and mouse combo, and this time they’re claiming good old fashioned comfort and productivity rather than bizarre ergonomics. The Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 consists of a low-profile keyboard with integrated LCD status display, and a wireless mouse with frictionless scroll-wheel.
The keyboard uses Logitech’s InCurve buttons, which are specially dished so as to guide the user’s fingers into the correct positions. They also have a longer key travel than most low-profile ‘boards, together with a cushioned palm-rest.
Battery life is rated at up to three years for the keyboard and up to twelve months for the mouse, depending on “normal” use, and they each use standard AA batteries. The Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 set is available now, priced at $99.99.

The ST251 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness and 2ms grey-to-grey response time. As for the ST281, that has a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time. Each also has composite, component, VGA and dual SCART inputs, together with dual 10W speakers.
Both sets are available in the UK now, priced at £269 ($449) for the 25-inch ST251 and £329 ($549) for the 28-inch ST281. Hannspree promise larger models in the ST-series later in the year.

Nanovision confirm touchscreen MIMO 720-S 7-inch USB subdisplay
0 comments Posted by Hori at 9:24 PMAfter mentioning Nanovision’s new MIMO 710-S USB LCD sub-display last week, we’ve now heard from the company themselves that there will indeed be two versions of the 7-inch 800 x 480 monitor. The range kicks off with the 710-S, as expected, but also includes the Nanovision MIMO 720-S, a touchscreen version.
Both models feature the same patented dual-hinge, which allows them to not only be positioned in portrait or landscape orientation, but folded flat for transport. The MIMO 710-S and 720-S are each slimmer than the existing MIMO displays that we reviewed previously, and are compatible with both PCs and Macs.
The Nanovision MIMO 710-S is available for preorder priced at $149.99, while the MIMO 720-S is yet to go up for pre-order. We’re hoping to get the new display in for review soon, so keep reading for all our coverage.

Sharp's AQUOS DX2 HDTVs don't need any help to burn Blu-ray discs
0 comments Posted by Hori at 12:02 AM
Sharp, you introduced the world's first HDTV line with integrated Blu-ray players last year, what are you going to do next? Only naturally, the Japanese lineup of DX2 series one-ups the original DX by adding Blu-ray recording as well. It doesn't appear that these pack the LED backlighting of the new X-Gen based displays headed our way this fall, so for now buyers will have to make do with the 15,000:1 contrast ratio shared with the other D-series televisions. Still, the big deal here is that the 1080p (52-, 46- and 40-inch) and 720p (32- and 26-inch) displays will burn up to 30 hours of HD video on dual-layer Blu-ray discs, by way of transcoding and compressing to MPEG-4 format without any messy external boxes or wires. The price range from ¥170,000 ($1,740) at the low end to ¥480,000 for the largest size when these ship September 15 but don't count on seeing them on this side of the Pacific.Friday, June 12, 2009
Compact secondary displays, like Nanovision’s MIMO range, are useful ways of adding a little extra desktop to your computer. Connecting via USB, they sit happily next to your full-sized display or laptop. Hanwha Japan, though, have given their secondary LCD something of an odd twist: instead of using USB, it connects via a D-Sub VGA port.
That means you’ll need a dual-head graphics card if you want to use the WM-TL7 with your desktop, though notebook and netbook users should be fine as most have a VGA output. Specs for the 7-inch display are WVGA resolution (800 x 480), 200:1 contrast ratio and 240cd/m2 brightness; as is usually the case, response time is on the sluggish side at 30ms.
While this might seem a vaguely pointless product given the ease of use a USB DisplayLink monitor offers, it could have its strong points. DisplayLink requires some processing power to create a virtual graphics card and run the display; why not use the existing graphics card and save CPU cycles? The Hanwha Japan VM-TL7 is available in Japan now, priced at around $223.

Sharp have been wowing with their display technology at the SID conference; their five-color LCD stands to revolutionize accuracy-dependent industries like graphic design, and now they’re hoping to do similar things with mobile displays. The Sharp Memory LCD is intended to drastically cut power requirements of a traditional LCD display by reducing the energy each individual pixel requires to remain in its current state.
The 1.4mm thick display pairs pixel-memory with a new reflective display technology which reduces the need for backlighting. Thanks to that, power consumption is down to just 15 µW, compared to standard 1mW STN displays.
Right now the prototype is only 1.35-inches square, and displays a monochrome image. However smooth-moving graphics are apparently possible, which is more than you can say about e-ink based displays; Sharp are offering them as samples for $25. Color displays, plus different shapes and sizes, are in the works, with Sharp suggesting possible uses as including cellphones, watches, remote controls and wrist-top computers.

Panasonic have announced pricing and availability for their portable Blu-ray player, the DMP-B15. Complete with an 8.9-inch WSVGA LCD, HDMI output and BD Live support, the DMP-B15 also features Panasonic’s VIERA CAST internet access via an ethernet port; that means, as on the company’s standalone Blu-ray decks, you can access Amazon Video-on-Demand, YouTube, Picasa, Bloomberg and other online information.
Since the onboard screen isn’t really much use for Full HD content, the DMP-B15’s HDMI port can be used to output 1080p to a nearby display or projector. The internal rechargeable battery is good for 2.5hrs use, and there’s also HD Audio output for surround sound with an appropriate AV system.
Finally, an SD card slot allows photos to be viewed and HD video played back. The Panasonic DMP-B15 portable Blu-ray player will hit US shelves this month, with an MRSP of $799.95. There’ll also be an optional headrest mounting bracket, for in-car use.

It might sound like a weird move to a niche market, but JVC just launched a 42″ LCD display aimed at… photographers. Why photographers? considering that display can reproduce a much greater range of colors than your typical big LCD display 100% of the sRGB space and 96% of Adobe’s RGB space, whether you’re overly curious. As an amateurish photographer, I would rather spend money on a higher resolution display (this one is about 1 Megapixel), but it’s just me. Tuesday, March 17, 2009
