If you work with lots of photos or graphic design it is very important that the colors you see on the screen are the colors that you get when the design is printed. In this type of environment, a wrong color on a printed document can mean going back to the digital drawing board.
I have no problem with computers and accessories like mice, keyboards, and LCDs that go out of their way to look good. It’s cool to have a high-tech device that looks high-tech. The caveat is that the devices need to work well and not just look good.
The LG BL40 has been something of a mystery, not so much in specs or even images, but more than anything else a mystery in of itself. The sheer aesthetics of the device make the average person cock their head to the side, and scratch the top of their skull in wonderment. Is that a phone? It sure is, and it just so happens to be a perfect phone for watching widescreen movies.

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America has announced today that they've begun to ship their VUDU Integrated, 1080p Flat Panel LCD TVs today, all of which incorporate their Diamond models of Unisen Immersive Sound. These TVs will provide the ability for the customer to seamlessly deliver high definition (HD) movies and television shows to their sets on demand, whenever they want.
Not everyone wants a huge television taking up the space in their living room. Especially if you don’t have a lot of space to give up. So it’s good to see companies like LG still giving some attention to the smaller formats, which are suited perfectly for movie watching and video game playing. It doesn’t hurt that LG manages to make the new LU7000 sexy, either.
Truth be told, 19″ monitors seem to be an ancient past-time, only talked about in hushed whispers, amongst technophiles joking about their parent’s sloppy PC setup. Sure, there’s a niche for the smaller screen sizes, and it looks like NEC wants to slide right into that spot. They’ve got a new LCD monitor set to hit shelves some times this month, and it’s got some pretty interesting aspects to it that might grab the attention of any working professional out there.

It looks as though Pixel Qi are ramping up their sales pitch ready for an assault on the display market, with founder Mary Lou Jepsen pushing out a chart showing where the company's low-power panels fit. While the chart isn't as clear as it could be, the takeaway message is that they're pushing the Pixel Qi panel as the best combination of reading and media-consuming displays.
The saga of the LCD price fixing scandal still isn’t over despite the fact that some of the world’s largest makers of LCDs have pled guilty and been fined. Some of the executives involved in the case have been sentenced to jail time. So far, LG Displays, Sharp, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, and Hitachi Displays have all pled guilty in the scheme.
Hitachi have unveiled five new HDTVs, each of which includes a 500GB hard-drive for local storage of recorded programming or downloaded content. The sets – three plasmas, ranging from 42- to 50-inches, and two LCDs, at 37- and 42-inches – slot into the company’s endearingly-titled Wooo TV range, and all support Full HD 1080p.
When it comes to increasing my work productivity and more realistic video games, I want a large screen LCD. For me 24-inches is the smallest I want to go and I really prefer a 30-inch LCD. The catch is that there are still only a few 30-inch screens on the market.
