LG Display has revealed some panel plans - including details on which customers are using its OLED screens for upcoming smartphones - in its Q1 financial results call; however, OLED TV scale displays aren't expected to reach mass production until mid-2013. According to SeekingAlpha's transcript, LG Display confirmed that, from this month, it will be supplying IPS tablet-scale panels to more than just Apple (which uses the screens for the iPad 2), while implying that as well as supplying Nokia with smartphone-sized screens, it will also be pushing panels for LG handsets in the middle of this year.

T-Mobile G2x Review
T-Mobile and LG haven’t just been working on a tablet: there’s also a dual-core smartphone on offer as well. The T-Mobile G2x doesn’t bother with the docking accessories of AT&T’s ATRIX 4G (review), instead expecting its own dual-core potential to stand on its own feet. Is this the best of a new breed of Android devices, or just a fast phone that still falls short? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

T-Mobile G-Slate Review
2011 may be the year of the tablet, but so far only one Android 3.0 Honeycomb (review) example has managed to reach the market. Motorola’s XOOM was criticized for launching perhaps before Honeycomb was quite ready; now the T-Mobile G-Slate by LG is making its own play, with the dual hope that 3D photography and an 8.9-inch screen will be enough to carve a niche against the iPad 2. Is Honeycomb’s second hurrah the cry of victory or a dying gasp? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut to find out.
3D TV’s All Over the Place, Really?
Most new-TV's coming out next year are going to be featuring 3D technology. Many of them are going to be featuring the active-shutter style of 3D, where instead of the red/cyan (pictured) or polarized glasses there is some kind of device that blocks each eye at the same time the specific image on the screen is projected in turn to produce the three dimensional effect.

The T-Mobile G2x may be brand new on virtual shelves yesterday, but we’re not exactly unfamiliar with the Android smartphone.

The T-Mobile G2x variant has landed on the SlashGear test bench: read on for our first-impressions.

T-Mobile confirms Sidekick 4G and G2x release details
Poor T-Mobile USA. The carrier's big Sidekick 4G availability surprise had already been scooped by RadioShack at the tail-end of last month, leaving it nothing to do today but blurt out a desultory tweet confirming the April 20 release.

LG Display livid over Samsung exec’s engineer expletive [Updated]
An unexpected slur by a Samsung exec on rivals LG Display could result in a legal case, after Kim Hyun-suk, vice president of Samsung’s digital media business, described LG's engineers as "really stupid sh*ts" at a press conference earlier this week. Asked by journalists about LG's Full HD claims for its latest 3D TV technology, the Korea Herald reports, Hyun-suk retorted "I heard that LG Display's Kwon Young-soo said its TVs are full HD, I think his engineers are really stupid sh*ts. What a lame argument with no theoretical grounds. It's just unreasonable."
