We got the opportunity to take a peek at the ViewSonic VSD240 24-inch Smart Display, what’s essentially an oversized tablet on a stand working with an NVIDIA processor inside. This machine works with a full touch display attached to an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor with 4-PLUS-1 technology. You’ll be working with HDMI via MHL, full-sized USB, and Bluetooth connectivity as well.
This beast is made for someone wishing for the future right this minute, bringing you Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on a display that’ll allow you to watch your videos at a tap. While we’re not sure the uses of this machine are numerous enough for us to want to get such a massive machine with a stand built-in for the desktop running Android, the prospect of an all-touch monitor future does seem encouragingly cool.
The best thing about this monitor from our perspective may be the fact that you’re able to work with the NVIDIA Tegra Zone collection of games. NVIDIA works closely with a variety of developers to make games that work especially well with their processors, and having seen the power of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 over these past 12 months working with high-powered games galore, we’re rather pumped up indeed.
Have a peek at our hands-on video above and photos above and below to see a bit more close-up look at this machine and get pumped up as it hits the market very, very soon. You’ll be able to pick this machine up for MSRP $675 USD and it’ll be in its final form then – what we’re seeing here may be changed just a bit, but it’s essentially complete. Have a peek at our CES portal for all the CES 2013 action you can handle as well!

[CES 2013] I had heard of that Oculus Rift kickstarter project before, and watching their pitch, I thought that it sounded very promising. I worked for 12 years in the computer graphics industry and tested my share of VR (Virtual Reality) head gear. Pretty much everyone has given up on this, so I wanted to see what these folks could come up to.
[CES 2013] LG knows that the wandering eyes of men tend to have an affinity towards curves, which is why LG has taken this opportunity to unveil the LG EA9800 OLED TV that boasts of proprietary WRGB technology, coming in an incredibly thin form factor that features a dramatic curved design while offering a vivid picture quality which LG claims is practically indiscernible from colors found in nature. Sounds rather lofty, so you will have to see it for yourself to verify or debunk that.
[CES 2013] G-Form has decided to use CES 2013 as the debut platform for its G90 case. Just what makes the G90 case so special? It seems that G-Form has finally perfected what they claim to be the “world’s first case to truly turn any smartphone or iPod touch into a sports action camera.” That is a pretty lofty claim, but then again, such a niche market segment does not have too many candidates, making the G90 case quite a standout on its own.
[CES 2013] So, you have had your fair share of feasting over the holiday season, and realized that your wardrobe has shrunk (or so you tell yourself) in a matter of weeks. Perhaps what you need is a gadget-related catalyst to help you get back to shape – and the HAPIfork is one smart utensil that intends to do just that. For starters, the HAPIfork will be equipped with a sensor that is capable of detecting the speed at which you shovel down your food, and should it go beyond the recommended levels, the HAPIfork will vibrate gently so that you can slow down.
[CES 2013] We are always reminded to back up our data from time to time, but most of us throw caution to the wind, adopting a “it will never happen to me” attitude. In fact, just this morning, my faithful USB flash drive died on me, and I regret not having a more recent backup of it. Having said that, your data storage options when it comes to backups are rather limited – place them on the cloud, or on a physical device. Both have their pros and cons, which could be why the Transporter was thought up of.
