dnp  Acer outs 27inch 4K touch display for 799

Acer certainly takes the cake for most product announcements before IFA’s even officially begun. In addition to outing a new smartphone, tablet, all-in-one (and a few Haswell updates), the company is introducing a 27-inch WQHD display. The T272HUL’s edge-to-edge, 2,560 x 1,440-pixel panel offers 10-point multi-touch, and the monitor’s stand allows you to tilt the display up to 60 degrees. (It’s also wall-mountable, if you’re fancy like that.) A 2MP webcam and an integrated mic are also on board for video calls. Connectivity options include dual-link DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI and three USB 3.0 ports. The T272HUL will retail for €799 in September — just don’t look for this guy to hit the US.

Dell trots out some new touchscreen monitors, prices start at $250

Dell trots out some new touchscreen monitors, prices start at $250

We hardly expect you to know Dell’s monitor lineup inside-out, so here’s a quick primer: Dell already sells this thing called the S2240T, a 21.5-inch display with full HD resolution and support for 10-point multi-touch. Well, today Dell’s expanding the family by adding a 23-inch version (the P2314T) and a 27-inch one (the P2714T). Like that current monitor we told you about, they both have 1,920 x 1,080 touchscreens and a stand that allows the panel to lie at a near-flat 60-degree angle. The only hitch is that a bigger screen also equates to a bigger price: whereas the existing 21-inch model costs $350, the 23- and 27-inch versions are going for $450 and $700, respectively. If all of the above are too pricey, Dell also introduced a lower-end 20-inch monitor called the E2014T. That also has a touchscreen, but it only tilts 5 degrees forward and backward , and the resolution tops out at 1,600 x 900. You can find that now for $250 in North and Latin America, with Europe and Asia to follow on September 26th. Interested? You’ll find some hands-on shots below, along with a few extra technical details in the press release after the break.%Gallery-slideshow73548%

LG Display claims a world’s first with 2,560 x 1,440 LCD for smartphones

LG Display claims a world's first with 2,560 x 1,440 LCD for smartphones

Full HD displays? Eat your heart out, handset manufacturers. LG Display has just laid claim to the world’s first Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440) smartphone display, which also boasts the highest pixel density of a mobile device, clocking in at 538ppi. The firm’s panel measures up at 5.5-inches and is only 1.21mm thick, and just 1.2mm at its bezel. According to LG, that makes it the world’s slimmest and narrowest panel, stealing the crown from hardware it showed off last month. Thanks to its use of AH-IPS tech and Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) substrate, the screen features 430 nits of brightness. If the Quad HD math is throwing you off, that’s four times as many pixels as a 1,280 x 720 display. This isn’t 4K on a portable display, but we’ll take it.

Such was demonstrated in a video we have […]
