[CES 2013] At Ubergizmo, we have been writing for a while about our hope to see more products running Android besides smartphones and tablets, and it looks like 2013 will bring its share of new smart Android devices. Following the launch of the previous  model, the VSD220, an Android-powered 22” display, ViewSonic is coming to CES with a new 24” dual point touch display that runs Android JellyBean 4.1. (more…)

CES 2013] The HP Pavilion line has always been about “bang for the buck”, so introducing IPS displays in that line-up makes sense. Most of the models (22xi, 23xi, 25xi and 27xi) feature a 1080p resolution, but the smallest 20xi does not (it tops at 1600×900), and it’s probably OK for a mid-range 20″ monitor. All of them offer a variety of input options, namely VGA, HDMI, DVI-D.

The IPS is the star of the show here, because if it wasn’t for that special detail, the rest of the specifications aren’t out of the ordinary, and the design itself is decent, but not fantastic either. That said, check the prices: the 20xi will cost $129.99 and the 27xi will sell for an MSRP of $339.99 which seems to land  right in the normal price range (street price) for this type of IPS monitors. What do you think? What’s your monitor brand of choice these days?

[CES 2013] The thing with computers is that you need a screen, and when it comes to business, companies want something that is cost-effective, predictable and easy to maintain. That’s what HP is aiming for with this HP ProDisplay line of monitors that feature four models: P191 (18.5″), P201m (20″) and P221 (21.5″). Seriously, call me a naive consumer, but I don’t really understand why there is a need for four models to cover a price range of $129 to $179 and size variations that seem relatively small.

In any case, CTOs may find it comforting that while these monitors won’t win any design awards, they have plenty of “Green” labels, including: Energy Star, EPEAT Gold, BFR/PVC-Free, Arsenic Free and Mercury-free LED. Well, there’s nothing wrong with doing business without polluting (too much), right?

You know that CES 2013 is going to be a blast when different consumer electronics companies come together and hope to wow the world with what they are able to offer. LG of South Korea is definitely one of them, and you can expect them to have a blast at CES this year (which is just happening next week, can you believe it!), where they will parade, among many other consumer electronics goodies, their stunning UltraWide, ColorPrime and Touch 10 monitors that feature specialized functionality and stellar IPS technology.

Yes sir, LG’s latest collection of spanking new IPS monitors will debut at CES 2013, where this high caliber range will include innovative concepts that help cater to the needs of the specialist as well as the everyday, casual user. Comprising of the UltraWide, ColorPrime and Touch 10 range, there is something for everyone, and all three models come with IPS technology to ensure that the kind of visuals your eyeballs enjoy are exceptional to say the least. We are talking about next generation picture quality that LG hopes will be the benchmark for displays for the year ahead.

For instance, LG’s EA93 UltraWide monitor is touted to be the world’s first monitor to feature a 21:9 aspect ratio, measuring a whopping 29” in size, it delivers outstanding multitasking and multimedia capabilities. It is also an ideal replacement for your living room TV, and comes with LG’s immersive, thin-bezel Cinema Screen Design. If you need to perform some serious multitasking, then the 4-Screen Split feature would be able to conveniently divide the UltraWide’s screen into four discrete segments.

As for the Touch 10 Monitor, this is a Windows 8 optimized device that delivers 10-finger Touch Control, all 23-inches of it. This would translate to a quicker and more natural typing experience whenever you make use of the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard, and smartphone users ought to take to it like a duck to water. With so many displays to choose from, we’re spoiled for choice for 2013 when it comes to monitors.
