After 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.
Dell have discretely added three new monitors to their line-up, spanning 20- to 23-inches and sub-$230 price-tags. The largest is the 23-inch Dell ST2310, a Full HD 1,920 x 1080 panel with HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs, 250 nits of brightness, 5ms response time and 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. It also has a slimline bezel and audio in/out ports.
Dell announced their very first display based on IPS or in-plane-switching technology today. It’s called the UltraSharp U2410 and it’s a 24-inch LCD screen with improved color and accuracy.
Scientists from the University of Tokyo have created what they’re calling an Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display, that’s basically a touchable holographic 3D display. Integrating a concave mirror onto which an LCD projector creates the image part of the system, together with an acoustic radiation pressure generator, the display can generate the feel of coming into physical contact with projected 3D objects as the user moves their hand around.

NEC moved into unchartered waters today by debuting their very first display capable of supporting DisplayPort. This new model is called the MultiSync EA231WMi and it measures in at 23-inches.
Nanovision have updated their range of MIMO USB LCD sub-displays with a new travel-friendly model. The Nanovision MIMO 710-S “Mobile Slider” keeps the same 800 x 480 resolution 7-inch LCD display from the existing range, but pairs it with a new folding, twisting clamshell stand that can be used to protect the display during transit.
That’s handy, because these mini-displays perhaps make most sense when used to add a little more screen real-estate to a laptop. Connecting via USB and using the DisplayLink virtual monitor system rather than a computer’s own video card, the 710-S boasts 350 cd/m2 brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio.
HP revealed a brand new display yesterday called the 2709m, which is actually the largest LCD for the mainstream computer market. Measuring in at 27-inches, it sports 1080p and could serve as a TV as well.

In an interesting move, Sharp and Sony have announced a joint venture today that would team up the companies in an effort to produce and sell very large LCD panels.
Century have announced an update to their range of USB LCD companion displays, in the shape of the Plus One LCD-8000UD. Ostensibly identical in functionality to last December’s LCD-8000U, the 8-inch 800 x 600 display now includes DVI as well as USB connectivity.
