We’re used to Brando pumping out bizarre little MP3 players, slightly dubious USB hubs and other desktop ephemera, but could they be on to a winner with the Cube Multimedia Player Speaker? Janky name aside, the 84 x 84 x 88 mm box packs a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 LCD, stereo speakers, FM radio, video and audio playback and a voice recorder.
Collins America have already reworked their CinemaView displays – best known for offering Mini DisplayPort connectivity suitable for use with Apple’s latest MacBook and MacBook Pro models – despite none of the original monitors being available for sale. The company has dropped the smallest models, the 19-inch CinemaView 19 and 20.1-inch CinemaView 20, and added the 47-inch CinemaView 47, a combination TV and PC, and an external HD TV tuner.
EVGA have announced a new LCD display, the InterView 1770, which offers not one but two 17-inch panels fixed to a single central stand. The 1440 x 900 panels each rotate 180-degrees horizontally, so they can be flipped completely around to show a person sitting opposite you, or clamshell in to fit into a narrow cubicle.
The first of Jointech’s JE100 ebook readers have made it out to buyers, and in turn the reviews are coming in. First spotted back in June, the JE100 differs from most ebook readers we see by virtue of its 7-inch LCD touchscreen, rather than using an E Ink panel. According to MobileRead forum member Sweetpea, that’s no great issue; the JE100’s backlight turns down sufficiently low to make long-term reading possible without eye-strain.

HANNSG have announced a new 24.6-inch widescreen LCD display, the HH251HP, which promises distortion-free aspect ratio support and full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Boasting 15,000:1 dynamic contrast (actual contrast is 800:1) and 5ms response time, the display isn’t going to trounce a high-end panel, but there’s plenty on offer for budget buyers.
AOC are well known for their reasonably priced monitors, and with the 2230Fh they threw eye-catching design into the ring too. A 22-inch widescreen LCD display, running at 1680 x 1050, the 2230Fh pairs a low $299 MRSP with a surprising array of connectivity. Is it a true bargain though, or just a load of marketing boasts? Read on for the full SlashGear review.
