LG built the panel in cooperation with Intel and the panel has a 23.8-inch viewable image. Thanks to the integrated Intel wireless technology, users […]
The Owlet isn’t a baby monitor is the usual sense of the word. I mean, it lets you monitor your baby, but not in the way that most baby monitors do, which is let you hear what’s going on at the moment.
Instead, the Owlet is actually a bootie that measures your baby’s vital stats. It’s pretty compact and fits into a washable bootie (yes, it’s waterproof too), so it shouldn’t be too hard to keep this particular monitor on your child.
The Owlet works in conjunction with an app that lets you see how your baby is doing, providing quick stats on your baby’s position, temperature, oxygen levels and heart rate. It can also detect if they are sleeping.
Its creators were hoping to raise $100,000 to fund production, and have already exceeded their goal. The project was rejected by Kickstarter (I’m not sure why), so they have taken to creating their own crowdfunding site to raise the money. You can make a pledge of $159(USD) to get one of your very own Owlet baby monitor. That seems like a small price to pay to have this sort of peace of mind.

Samsung’s continuing the UHD TV march here at IFA with plenty of sets, but it’s also showing a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) 31.5-inch monitor that’s built to sit on your desktop. Crisp images deliver on the Ultra High Definition promise, but the colors are particularly vibrant, due in part to the LED panel’s ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors and pictures that can cram in 99 percent of Adobe’s RGB color spectrum. Because of that, the set easily distances itself from others that have flat, dull image reproduction. However, viewing angles leave something to be desired, as standing far off to the side clouds the monitor. Not only does this piece of kit churn out good imagery, but it easily tilts and pivots into a vertical position, to boot. When it comes to connectivity, the screen packs four USB ports and slots for HDMI, DVI-DL and DPX2. If you’re ready to hook up this display to your PC, there will be some waiting involved — no pricing or release details have been divulged. If you’d like to gawk at the firm’s hardware, look out below for our gallery.%Gallery-slideshow83282%

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.

As surely as there will be another round of tradeshows this fall and winter, companies like Samsung will be there with bigger and better tech to show off, which consists of new 4K displays this time around. At IFA 2013, Samsung plans to show off this 98-inch commercial Ultra HD “video wall”, as well as a 31.5-inch Ultra HD monitor. Samsung unveiled its 85-inch UHDTV at CES earlier this year it promised sizes would grow so we’re not surprised it’s combining slim-bezeled versions to create this massive screen headed to storefronts near you. There’s no picture yet for the 31.5-inch monitor and few details, but Samsung is ready to battle with competition from the likes of ASUS and Sharp with detailed color calibration adjustments and support for 99 percent of Adobe’s RGB space.

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%
