    Sharp announces world’s first four-primary-color, super-bright 3D LCD

    Posted on April 12, 2010 | No Comments
    We all know Sharp is particularly strong in the LCD panel space, which means it's not a big surprise the company is the first to announce a 3D LCD with four base colors (Sharp has added yellow to the usual trio of red, green and blue). The company also claims the new screen is about 80% brighter than conventional models, boasting the highest brightness in the industry.

    This is something gadget modder Ben Heck might have thought about, but if yes, Japanese game peripheral maker HORI (which also sells stuff in the US) was faster this time.

    Video Review: Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 23-inch LED backlit monitor

    Posted on February 25, 2010 | No Comments
    Short Version: Samsung’s SyncMaster XL2370 is a 23-inch LED backlit monitor that retails for around $300. At under eight pounds and less than two inches thick, there’s a lot to like here. With traditional 23-inch LCD monitors starting at around $200, is it worth an extra $100 for an LED backlit screen? Samsung’s offering consists of [...]

    Hello Kitty, the dream cartoon cat of millions of teenage girls around the world, regularly gets a lot of love from the gadget world, too. But Hello Kitty TVs were relatively scarce so far. Last time we blogged about one was in June 2008. While that one was pretty cute by itself, this new model announced today [JP], a 13.3-inch LCD TV, is much, much cuter (at least in my view).

  • Motion blur is a big fat lie

    Motion blur is a big fat lie

    Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
    Ever since Area 51 and the grassy knoll, we've all known the government was hiding something. What, exactly? Was it that Spain is really France? That hemp makes great rope? No. It's that motion blur in LCDs isn't that big a deal. And it's time to blow this cover-up wide open. Dr. Raymond Soneira at DisplayMate has blown the lid off this whole thing by writing a detail and somniferant look at LCD motion blur. His conclusions will surprise you: it doesn't exist and all that talk of megahertz and poodlefurtz was all smoke and mirrors. We are down the rabbit hole, people.

  • Video Review: EVGA Interview

    Video Review: EVGA Interview

    Posted on August 7, 2009 | No Comments
    I'm going to be kind here and say that EVGA Interview is an interesting product. It is a dual monitor system with two 17-inch screens attached to a base. It's a good idea, it really is. I'm just concerned that $600 is a bit much to pay for two screens in this configuration. The trick here is that the screens turn over when you twist them into position. Want to show someone across the desk from you something? Flip over the monitor. It bears to note, however, that you need two graphics cards - DVI or VGA capable - to use both monitors at the same time.

    How does a 55-inch LED HDTV from Samsung sound to you?

    Posted on July 30, 2009 | No Comments
    As a reader of CrunchGear, I can only assume that you're familiar with a recent invention called “television.” It's truly a remarkable thing: it transports lights and sounds from the four corners of the planet, and brings them right to your living room. It's like you're actually at the big game! A recent upgrade, called high-definition television, improves the quality of the picture. Samsung, which is a company based in far-away South Korea, has a new line of high-definition televisions called the 8500 Series. It uses something called light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) to light up the image—no more replacing tubes!
