NEC Goes for DisplayPort with MultiSync EA231WMi Display

Sometimes the ability to handle just about any kind of video connection is a selling point in a display, and to that end NEC has introduced the 23-inch MultiSync EA231WMi, feating VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort connectivity. Aimed at government, enterprise, and education users, the EA321WMi also features a two-step Eco Mode enabling users to save power enabling users to switch between two modes (as well as “off”) so they only consume the power they need while working. The EA231WMi also sports an ambient light sensor that adjust screen brightness according to ambient lighting conditions, and a 4-way ergonomic stand that enables users to adjust height as well as pivot, tilt, and swivel the display.

Pixel Qi Shows First 3Qi Hybrid Display

Startup display developer Pixel Qi—which spun out of the OLPC project has posted the first images of its upcoming 3Qi display, which combines a black-and-white mode, full-color mode, and an epaper mode intended for ebook readers.

ViewSonic Planning to Enter the Smartphone Business

In the current economic climate, only a few sectors of the technology industry are still experiencing significant growth.

Dell Reaches for Luxury with the Adamo

There are two things you have to understand about the new Adamo laptop from Dell. The first is that it is an attempt to define a class of relatively exclusive luxury laptops, and the second is that it is the kind of artistic effort that, strangely enough, doesn’t photograph well. Finished in brushed metal and glass, the notebook has to be touched and seen to be appreciated. Pictures just don’t do it justice. (Dell did come close with this pretty incredible video, though.)  Read more...

Amex Digital Photo Frames Multitask

Amex Digital Photo Frames Multitask

You don’t need to look any further than iRiver’s Home or Verizon’s Hub to realize that frames that only show photos are disappearing. But in between a dumbed-down display and a full-fledged mini computer, Amex Digital has introduced two new digital photo frames that throw in just a sprinkling of extras.

The SR-7 and SW-7 both feature seven-inch displays with a smattering of other data. The SR-7 gets a thermometer, radio-controlled clock, alarm and calendar, while the SW-7 is more of a weather station, with the same features, plus the ability to link to up to five wireless thermometers, predict pressure trends based on an internal barometer, and display sunrise and sunset times based on location.

Hands On With The Logitech G19 Keyboard

Hands On With The Logitech G19 Keyboard

Gamers are a demanding bunch—they require peripherals that help them keep their attention on the blood-soaked battlefield. Logitech has heard their battle cry with the G19 Keyboard, which sports a built-in LCD display. Using the device is amazingly immersive—to see World of Warcraft game stats, live chat sessions, or even the strength of your broadband feed, you can just glance down quickly at the secondary display (which requires the Logitech GamePanel software to link into stats and communication data).

There are twelve programmable "G-Keys" that help you fire off magic spells or an alternate-fire key. The keyboard has a soft-touch springy feel similar to previous gaming keyboards and includes two USB ports (handy for plugging in a Webcam).

Gateway Intros Two Notebook Lines at CES

Gateway Intros Two Notebook Lines at CES

Computer maker (and Acer subsidiary) Gateway has announced two new notebook computer lines at this week’s CES show in Las Vegas. The multimedia-friendly MD series offers a 16:9 15.6-inch display and HDMI 1.3 output, while the lightweight UC series still caters to the media set with a 13.3-inch 16:9 display, but still packs enough of a punch in the processing department to function as someone’s primary computer.

“These two new offerings are the result of Gateway’s focus on the needs of distinct mobile customers,” said Acer America senior product marketing manager Ray Sawall, in a statement. “These notebooks are incredibly different in terms of style and form factor, yet they both include best-in-class technology at incredible values.”
