LG and NComputing have announced a new range of “Network Monitors“, LCD displays with integrated thin-clients that can be used as virtual desktops or with cloud computing systems. Unlike most thin-client systems, however, LG’s looks straightforward enough for home or SOHO implementation, requiring just an X550 PCI card to be installed into the server PC, the included vSpace virtualization software installed and then up to five N-series monitors hooked up via ethernet cable.

Compact secondary displays, like Nanovision’s MIMO range, are useful ways of adding a little extra desktop to your computer. Connecting via USB, they sit happily next to your full-sized display or laptop.

JVC have announced a new HD LCD monitor, and they’re aiming it squarely at DSLR owners. The JVC Xiview LT-42WX70 is a full 42-inch panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 1080p support, but the headline figures here are its 96-percent cover for Adobe RGB colors. If you’re as picky as most photographers are, then you’ll be pleased to hear the LT-42WX70 offers a full 52 picture-quality adjustment properties for tweaking both still and video images source-by-source.
Connecting up a console to a display should be one of those things that’s ridiculously straightforward, but if you’re having trouble matching up sockets to plugs then Castrade may be able to help. Their CG-USC01HD-PLUS Game Box gobbles up your composite, S-Video and component video sources – such as a PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii – and spits out VGA that’s ideal for your PC monitor.
If you like a little bit of Victorian flair with your technology, then you’ll definitely appreciate this Steampunk LCD Monitor which fulfills its duty as a computer screen, but let’s face it, this one is really all about the style.
