Tech’s New Most Meaningless Spec: PPI

HTC’s new Droid DNA smartphone has plenty of qualities that make it intriguing. It has a quad-core Snapdragon chipset. It crams a 5-inch display in a body nearly the size of a One X or Galaxy S III. Its Super LCD 3 technology trumps the Super LCD 2 that made the HTC 8x display so lovely. By all accounts it’s a wonderful device. More »

Epson’s video board pumps composite inputs to the Moverio BT-100 headset (video)

Epson's video board pumps composite inputs from *honk* to the Moverio BT-100 headset (video)

Bummed that your $700 Moverio BT-100 headset doesn’t have video input? Well, Epson’s here to tease you with a board that plugs into the trackpad and accepts any composite video source. Despite best attempts to hide the identity of hardware it’s being tested with and give the lawyers a weekend off, it’s shown to receive feeds from a PS3, an iPad and a 360 with Kinect. Check out the honk-filled video of all the fun you’re not having, and contact Epson if you’ve got an interesting idea for using the board, because they might just give you one. How about — “I want to play games on it?” That sounds like a pretty good reason to us.

[Thanks, Joe]

LG’s 29-inch EA93 is the world’s first 21:9 ultrawidescreen monitor, launches this month in Korea

LG's 29inch EA93 is the world's first 219 ultrawidescreen monitor to go on sale

While “ultrawidescreen” 21:9 aspect ratio HDTVs haven’t taken off despite several attempts, LG is bringing the formfactor to the desktop with its new EA93 UltraWide LCD monitor. Measuring at 29-inches with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,080, it uses the extra horizontal space to display not just cinema-style movies, but also side by side video from different sources or up to four different views at once thanks to its built-in software. For connections, it has DVI Dual Link, DisplayPort, or HDMI with MHL support. We got an eyeful of the monitor at IFA earlier this year and you can check out our hands-on video after the break, or take a quick Korean vacation to snag one for 690,000 won ($633) before they go on sale everywhere else later in the year — pricing elsewhere has not yet been announced.

Incredibly Slow Refresh Rates Make This LCD Easy On the Eyes

One of the reasons the Kindle’s e-ink display is more enjoyable to read with is because it’s not constantly refreshing. You might not be able to discern it, but the high-speed flicker of your LCD can lead to eye strain and headaches. So a research lab in Japan has developed a display that can refresh as slowly as once every five seconds. More »

Japan Display shows low-power reflective LCD that does color, video

DNP Japan Display shows lowpower reflective 'paper' display fast enough for video

Seen any color video in your e-reader lately? Us neither, and Japan Display wants to change all that with a new reflective, paper type LCD capable of the feat that burns very little juice, to boot. To pull it off, the prototype uses a so-called light control layer, allowing it to collect rays and bounce them toward your eyes, exactly like plain old analog paper. The consortium developed a low color fidelity version with five percent NTSC coverage and a bright 40 percent reflection, along with a dimmer version carrying a third less reflectivity but a more faithful 36 percent hue gamut. The latter still needs some tweaking, according to Japan Display, but the more reflective version is now good to go for production, meaning it might start popping up in new readers imminently. For more info, check the video after the break.
