LG Display set to triple OLED production capacity with $226m facility expansion, effects to be felt in 2011

As usual with OLED displays, we’re taking one step forward only to find there are hundreds more to go. LG has today officially announced a new $226 million investment in its OLED production facilities, which will markedly expand its ability to churn out ultrathin canvases of wonder.

Sharp squeezes DivX HD playback into new Quattron HDTVs

Apparently there was still a HDTV or two without the DivX stamp, but that should be mostly resolved now after a new deal with Sharp. The new AQUOS LE820 LCDs – featuring the apparently astonishing Quattron quad-pixel technology – are able to play 1080p DivX HD files from a connected USB drive. Not quite the embedded content service we saw at CES, but [...]

PS3 meets Hori LCD dock, good things happen

Hori is a company that’s no stranger to strapping LCDs to consoles and calling them portable, but for some reason we’re quite smitten with its latest monitor docking station. The HP3-87 doesn’t stray too far from the formula — it adds an 11.6-inch screen to a wraparound structure for your PS3, with stereo speakers, two headphone jacks, [...]

LG unveils first Full LED 3D HDTV — the 22.3mm-thin LX9500

Well, here’s a way to make those 3D tellies attractive — slim them down to unreasonable proportions and kill as much of the bezel as you can. The newly announced LX9500 isn’t quite as skinny as the stuff we saw LG show off at CES, but at 22.3mm it still makes the majority of laptops [...]

‘The Panel’ rechargeable LED monitor sentences you to a more productive life

“It would let me set up shop at that posh cafe down the street.” That’s how you justified your laptop purchase — but as you sat, gently sipping your macchiato, you realized it would never work without your decidedly non-portable 24-inch Cinema Display’s extra real estate. We’ve been there many a time, and apparently so [...]

Cablevision bumps Comcast to the back, 3D sports at home starts next week

Just as Comcast leapfrogged DirecTV’s 3D plans, its claim to the first live HD 3D event has been stolen away by Cablevision, which will broadcast a Rangers/Islanders NHL matchup Wednesday, shown both in a special viewing party in the Theater at Madison Square Garden and on iO TV channel 1300 (if you already have a [...]

Dell debuts wireless, 3D-capable S300w short-throw projector

Sure, we may one day all simply carry pico projector-equipped phones and ditch any other sort of display, but until then, there’s still a place for projectors like Dell’s new S300w model. Designed mostly with presentations in mind, the projector can produce a 90-inch, 720p image from a distance of three feet (or 60-inches from [...]

NVIDIA’s 3DTV Play finally solves the HDMI 1.4 gap for 3D Vision

In case you hadn’t noticed, there was some trouble brewing in the NVIDIA camp. After ages of reigning atop the land of stereoscopic 3D playback on the PC, NVIDIA is finally being confronted with a real, bona fide standard for 3D, with zero GPUs capable of meeting it. The current NVIDIA 3D Vision-compatible cards pump [...]

Sony Japan unveils Bravia HDTVs with 500GB storage, Sony USA unveils no such thing

Sony intro’d some 3D Bravia HDTVs a while back, and while that didn’t really whet our appetite an LCD with built-in storage is always palatable. To be released by Sony Japan, the BX30H is available in up to 32-inches and packs 500GB of storage — not particularly earth-shattering, but it should prove useful for DVR-ing [...]

Lenovo unleashes three new monitors, one boasting multitouch

Lenovo’s quietly unleashed three new 1080p resolution-boasting monitors. Up first, the 21.5-inch L2261 Wide LCD, a pretty basic affair with VGA and DVI inputs. The L2361p Wide is 23-inches, with a more stylized look than the L2261, with integrated speakers and microphone, a webcam, and three USB 2.0 ports. Finally, the real star of the [...]
