Researchers at the Tokyo University of Technology have developed a unique system in which they can align smartphones and tablets together in any configuration and turn them all into one single display.

Google Nexus 10 hands-on

, Oct 30th 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung has out-Retina’d Apple, and Google is definitely making the most of it. The Nexus 10 tablet may not have had the New York City debut it was promised, but even with a low-key press release its segment-busting specifications catch your eye. A 10.1-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 display breaks through the 300dpi pixel density mark, easily satisfying the “individual pixels indistinguishable at typical use-distance” criteria Apple created, while inside there’s Samsung’s own 1.7GHz dualcore Exynos 5250 with 2GB of RAM. If the Nexus 7 is Google’s attempt to conquer the bargain mainstream, then the Nexus 10 is its assault on the very high-end, giving Android 4.2 Jelly Bean everything it needs in hardware in order to shine.

, Oct 29th 2012 Discuss [0]

If you're like me, the first time you heard of wireless display mirroring, your first question was - how? With Google's new Android 4.2 Jelly Bean+ operating system update, wireless mirroring is included in the code - but how does that work without the hardware to back it up? As it turns out, this whole situation has to do with Miracast wireless display sharing - an industry standard that allows your device to connect to larger device's displays using your wi-fi network as a middle-man.

LG tricks elevator riders using its IPS displays

, Oct 22nd 2012 Discuss [0]

In what could be considered an awesome PR stunt for LG and to show how lifelike its displays can be, the company rigged nine of their IPS displays together into a 3x3 array and placed it on a random elevator floor. When people would enter the elevator, LG would play quite a mean prank them, especially those who have a fear of heights and falling. Read The Full Story

, Oct 22nd 2012 Discuss [0]

Starting next year, Samsung will be pulling out of its relationship with Apple where the company provided LCD panels for various Apple products. An anonymous “senior Samsung source” cited that less profit due to Apple’s new supply pricing strategy was the main cause, but we're also suspecting that the past couple years of heated patent wars has probably also played a role in the decision.

, Oct 19th 2012 Discuss [0]

As smartphone screens get bigger, so do the resolutions. We're already seeing "phablets" like Samsung's new Galaxy Note II with a huge 5.5-inch display, and HTC's recently-announced J Butterfly has a 5-inch display with a 1080p resolution. However, higher resolutions don't always mean a clearer image. Clarity on a smartphone display can only get so good before the human eye doesn't notice anything better. Read The Full Story

Ask any PC gamers with a beefy rig, and they'll tell you that you want to be using a multi-monitor display while gaming.
