Hanwha Japan has launched couple of WVGA resolution LCD monitors that are completely bus-powered, that means the display draws its power from USB instead of a separate AC adapter. Despite its size, the UM-710 and UM-730 are full feature monitors capable of processing 16.7-million color and have ergonomic design to provide a range of adjustments including lifting, tilting and even allowing you to rotate the screens in horizontal or vertical position at 90 degree.
Of all the decisions Apple made with their most recent MacBook refresh, probably the most controversial has been its decision to use Mini DisplayPort as the sole video connector. The 24-inch LED Cinema Display, then, has a doubly-tough challenge: not only does it have to follow the well-respected Cinema Displays of the past, it’s also the only monitor that will work, without adapters, with the new unibody MacBooks.
TN film panel is not my favorite type of TFT LCD monitor; colorshifts are terrible, viewing angles are the among the narrowest and covers small range of color gamut. In fact, i despise it but the manufacturer loves it; materials are less costly to fabricate and the pixel response time is fast and sufficiently to avoid the shadow-trail and ghosting artifacts. Sadly, the whole range of newly announced 16:9 monitors are all TN film based monitors with inferior hardware. The days where an affordable Dell manufactured with IPS panel like 2005 and 2007 series monitors are long gone. But there’s hope; new coating material has found a new angle to improve and optimize the off-putting viewing angles.
Acer and DisplayLink announced their latest 22-inch monitor today. This USB computer LCD depends on the CPU to run instead of a graphics chipset, but does support various 3D functions, surprisingly, like Windows Vista Aero Glass interface.
When I inquired a NEC professional series MultiSync from a local vendor, he asked if I would be using it for medical application (I wish); apparently, according to him, most of medical clientele are using NEC MultiSync monitors for critical medical imaging applications. Make no mistake, a wrong shade of color could be a life and death matter in medical practice. The NEC Display Solutions of American has introduced a new line of MultiSync MD Series high-brightness, color and grayscale flat-panel monitors for such critical professions.
Samsung’s latest full-HD display, the SyncMaster 2494HS, has come out to play, complete with a 23.6-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution LCD panel, 300cd/m2 brightness and 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The 2494HS also supports screen rotation for portrait or landscape use.
Since the economy is in a serious downturn, AOC has decided to offer a much more affordable monitor that still possesses the style and functionality of some of the higher priced models. The F19 is a 16:9 widescreen display that sports a slim form factor at a decent price.
You’re probably got tired of recent Samsung SyncMaster releases. The company has expanded its range of SyncMaster family with the announcement of 6 LCD units in a short one week, majority of them are at 16:9 aspect ratio. But the train doesn’t there, the company has introduced yet another SyncMaster with 22-inch screen size at WUXGA (1920×1200) resolution; while not longer at 16:9 aspect ratio, but processed similar low end panel with 170/160 viewing angles.
While many already knew about the Dell SP2309W LCD because of a listing on a Canadian website, the display has now been officially announced and launched in the US. So what makes this display extra special? It can support a resolution that actually exceeds HD quality.
Apple have quietly discontinued the 23-inch Cinema HD Display, making room for the new 24-inch Cinema Display announced back in October. The 20-inch and 30-inch versions of the original are still available; however, only refurbished 23-inch models can be bought through Apple themselves.
