Make your 24-inch LED Apple Cinema a touchscreen with Touch Troll – it ain't cheap though
I can’t say I’m a huge advocate of touchscreens on desktop computers when a mouse and keyboard work perfectly well, just as quick, with a lot more fidelity and without smearing greasy digits and over-stretching my spine. I think I sound like the most boring person alive.
If, unlike me, you wish to say, “To hell with it, I want to fondle my new 24-inch Apple LED cinema screen,” then now you may…
LG's sunlight screen LCD – 25% less power consumption, 4x more laptop theft
LG has gone and been a bit of a little genius today by successfuly devleoping the kind of tech that makes one stand up and applaud heartily – but jolly well politely – and say, “Bravo, yes, bravo!”
They’ve come up with a laptop screen that can be illuminated by sunlight instead of the usual backlighting…
MSI has the same idea as Asus, a little bit after Asus – reveals its Neton "all-in-one" Intel Atom desktop
MSI’s been doing a bit of tech blog espionage again, launching three “all in one” PCs with touch screen powers that appear extremely similar to the ones Asus showed off recently.
Three alternate MSI Neton models have been revealed – the M16, M19 and M22. I’ll now give you a bit more information about all three, as you can’t work much out about them from those boring model names.
All three run XP Home and have touch screens so you can get fingerprints over the bit you look at all the time. Touch screens on desktops are a terrible idea. The M16 is the smallest model, with its Intel Atom processor stuck into the case of a 15.6″ 1366 x 768 monitor. The M19 features…
ViewSonic intros new 22-inch widescreen monitor
ViewSonic has announced its latest widescreen monitor, the VX2260wm. As the product name suggests, it’s a 22-inch LCD but sports a 16:9 aspect ratio more common on “proper” TVs than on computer monitors.
Able to display full 1080p content without scaling via its HDMI or DVI-D inputs, it also offers 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a low 2ms response time which should cut down on motion blur…
Luxury screen cleaning fluid – for the geek who has everything
Just when you think you’ve seen every luxury product, another one comes along. This time we’ve got luxury screen cleaning fluid, and it comes in what looks like perfume bottles.
The manufacturers warn that using alcohol-based cleaning products can cause irreparable harm to LCD screens. They’ve formulated an alcohol-free, water-based cleaner that won’t cause any damage to your expensive 42″ plasma.
On the left, you’ve got the “Eazy Care”, which comes in black or white, and costs £20. On the right is the “One Care”, which costs £15. Refills are available for either for just £6. If either float your boat, then pick up a bottle at Currys or John Lewis.

LG launches W2284F 22-inch widescreen monitor
LG has announced its latest 22-inch widescreen monitor for the UK market. The W2284F has won an iF Product Design Award, because apparently it’s an outstanding example of design perfection.
Before we get to the specifications (which in my opinion is what really counts), let’s dwell a little on LG’s design ethos — the soft blue power button beneath the screen was inspired by a drop of morning dew, while the rest of the monitor is glossy black — inspired by a grand piano, perhaps?
Mimo 7" LCD screens – a little bit of screen, for a little bit of cash
I’m a big fan of multi-monitor setups. Although they look a little ridiculous, they really do enhance your productivity no end. At the moment, though, adding another monitor can be tough. Unless you’ve got a bad-ass graphics card, it usually requires the installation of a new one, then you’ve got to mess about with drivers, and OH it’s all so complicated…
LG offers a 22.5" 16:9 widescreen monitor, the W2261V
Following the industry trend of switching from 16:10 displays to 16:9 ones, LG has just unveiled the W2261V. That’s it up there. It’s got a 2ms response time, 1920×1080 resolution, and a rather lovely design…
Apple launches LED Cinema Display designed specifically for MacBook
Apple wants you to treat your new MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to a fantastic display, and so it’s revamped its Cinema Display just for the new family of notebook computers.
The crystal clear 24-inch LED-backlit widescreen monitor has iSight camera and speakers built in, and comes with a three-in-one cable with a MagSafe power connector, Mini DisplayPort, and USB connection…
Sony working on "Annihilation Assisted Upconversion" – bendable OLED screens
OLED development race winner Sony has announced its plans to start making OLEDs less than 1mm thick – that are flexible enough to be bent and wrapped around angles.
This’ll come in handy for when you need to… bend a screen. Or, these thin, semi-transparent OLEDs could be piled on top of each other to make 3D displays, used as HUDs in the windscreens of expensive cars, or even used as a way for Sony to carry on charging us lots of money for new TVs that aren’t particularly different from our existing TVs…
