Philips has taken the wraps off its latest display, the 276E8FJAB. This 27-inch monitor features a QHD resolution and an IPS panel, as well as the maker's own Ultra Wide-Color tech. Philips promises that its monitor provides a combination of 'crisp images' and vivid colors, making it suitable for graphic designers, photographers, and anyone who is selective about the quality of their work display.
Even though most of this week's announcements have come from IFA 2017, Sharp decided to strike out on its own by making its big reveal in Shanghai. At that event, Sharp announced the launch of its new 8K AQUOS TV. Though this is technically a global roll out, the regions in which the AQUOS 8K TV is launching are limited to just four for now.
The iPhone 8 may have its notch, and the Essential Phone its front camera cut-out, but Sharp is exploring some seriously unusual shapes for its latest panels. The company brought its latest IGZO free-form displays along to IFA 2017 to demonstrate that, at this point, square is pretty passé. Targeting mobile devices, smart home gadgets, and car dashboards, the new screens promise tiny bezels along with their odd shapes.
If DxOMark is considered by some as the authority of smartphone camera benchmarks, when it comes to smartphone screens, DisplayMate is the name of the game. But while DxOMark has yet to find a smartphone that reaches a perfect 100, DisplayMate already has a “best” display ever in the Galaxy S8. So what can it do when the Galaxy Note 8 comes along with an even better screen? Why, give it its even higher A+ grade, of course!
The age of the full frontal display is here, and Apple is the one to bring it about. Or that's what the company will have you believe, if their marketing department brings the iPhone 8 out the way they should. Android devices have been starting in on this trend early, as it were - Xiaomi, LG, Samsung, and others included.
The most definitive look at the LG V30 seen thus far comes from a series of videos posted this week to HitRecord. This is a collaborative video site promoted by celebrity Joeseph Gordon Levitt - though that might have little to do with the phone itself. The devices we see today are pretty much leaking the entirety of the phone itself - or at least its looks, both front and back.
The first RED-branded smartphone RED Hydrogen One reached the hands of Marques Brownlee this week in prototype form. In a video (embedded below) he presented the device as it is today - still mostly a Beta sort of product. The potential for this product, an apparently very real product, is surprisingly giant. While the pricing might be the most key element, the first RED phone might be a game-changer.
Samsung will once again produce the processors Apple needs for the company's best selling product according to a report from Korea. This move would place Samsung's chipmaking factories back in line with iPhone hardware after losing their contract with Apple to TSMC in the year 2013. That was a chip contract loss for the history books.
There are a lot of different monitors out there vying for your hard earned cash, each one with some (generally small) feature meant to make them stand out from the crowd. Regardless of which monitor you end up buying, cable management is usually still a concern. AOC has teamed up with Studio F.A. Porsche to solve that very problem in a new pair of monitors, the AOC PDS241 and the AOC PDS271.
Most of the time, discussion about display technologies will be limited mostly to their consumer applications. Every once in a while, though, a company will create a new display that isn't meant to be sold, but rather was created as a way of pushing display technology forward. LG Display is doing precisely that today, showing off a new massive, flexible OLED display.
If you dream of owning an 80-inch-plus 4K television but cry out at the idea of spending $10,000 and up, Dell has a new laser projector that might be the perfect solution. Dubbed the Dell Advanced 4K Laser Projector, the device offers a whopping 100-inch 4K display with support for HDR. Add in the fact that it can be placed extremely close to a wall, as long as you have the flat surface space you're ready to go.
Samsung still thinks curved displays are the future, and not just for your TV, with the company unveiling a vast curved gaming monitor using its QLED technology. The Samsung CHG90 is one of the biggest gaming-focused displays you'll find angling for a spot on your desk, a full 49-inches of extreme wide-angle. It's 32:9 aspect screen is effectively a half-height Samsung TV, in fact.
