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.
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.
LG have announced a pair of new LCD HDTV ranges, the SL80 and flagship SL90, complete with edge-to-edge glass displays and Yahoo! NetCast internet-connected widgets. The SL80 will come in the shape of 42-, 47- and 55-inch models, while the SL90 – which measures just 1.15-inches deep – will come in 42- and 47-inch models complete with LED backlighting.

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.
Samsung have unveiled their latest HDTV range, the 8500-series, complete with local dimming for the LED backlighting and Yahoo!’s widget engine. Available in 46- and 55-inch sizes, the 8500-series supports 1080p High Definition playback, with a 7,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time and 1.6-inch thick chassis.
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.
