CES 2006: Dell Ultrasharp 30" Widescreen monitor
Announced alongside the XPS 600 Renegade über-PC is this: the Dell 3007WFP, which threatens to do the same for monitors as the Renegade is meant to do for gaming. Admittedly this kind of hardware is probably going to be found…
CES 2006: Thompson gyration Media Center remote
Having used a Gyration mouse with a Media Center PC recently, I can vouch for the fact that they're a pretty neat innovation. This Windows-licensed remote control is therefore another step in the right direction if it can offer the…
CES 2006: AEGIA PhysX card is back
Mid-way through 2005, these PhysX cards seemed set to be the next big thing in PC gaming. Then, perhaps in part due to their association with the woeful Bet On Soldier title, they seemed to just drop off the map….

The great game of who's-got-the-biggest, um… telly was played once more at CES this year. Panasonic came out as winner wielding a 103 inch monster plasma, beating Samsung's previous 102 inch effort. This prototype unit offered 1080p HD high speed…
