Eizo is a company that has been making high-end displays for computer users for a number of years. The company is particularly well known for its high-end LCDs that are designed for graphic designers and the medical industry. The company has announced a pair of new 17-inch LCD network monitors that have integrated LAN connectivity enabling them to connect to remote PCs.

These monitors need a single wired Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi access to connect to a remote PC providing long-distance audio and video signal transmission. These monitors are specifically designed to control the PC and have USB ports for connecting a mouse and keyboard. The FDS1702NT display also supports touch control of remote computers.

The Wi-Fi connectivity integrated into the displays is 802.11n allowing for high-speed data transmission. The native resolution for the 17-inch screens is 1280 x 1024 and the display is available in two models. The FDS1702N has a brightness rating of 250 cd/m2 while the FDS1702NT has a brightness rating of 190 cd/m2 and touch control capability.

Eizo says that a maximum of six of these remote displays can be connected to a single computer via a local network. The displays also have integrated dual 0.5-watt speakers. The touch enabled monitor uses a resistive touch panel allowing it to be used while wearing gloves or with a stylus. The USB ports on the monitors can also be used to connect printers and external storage devices. Pricing for the displays is unannounced.

In an effort to speed up an already contested $20.1 billion merger, Softbank and Sprint have reportedly agreed not to use Huawei network equipment within the US carrier’s existing network. In fact, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers, recently told The New York Times that the two outfits have pledged to remove Huawei hardware from Clearwire’s network, too. These promises are likely a reaction to Congress’ security concerns, which saw Huawei exiled from America’s first responder network back in October. While Rogers is happy with Softbank and Sprint’s new game plan, this deal is far from done. The two firms still need to make it past the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, which reviews national security risks connected to business transactions. Until then, Dan Hesse may wanna hold off on any extracurricular activities.

Listen, we’re not going to promise you that watching an hour-long episode is the same as going to Expand. The good news for those of you who were unable to attend due to scheduling or geography, however, is that the ticket price is a bit lower, and many of our favorite moments have been saved for posterity. We’ve done our best to whittle a weekend at San Francisco’s beautiful Fort Mason center into one bite-sized chunk of Engadget Show goodness. We’ll take you behind the scenes at the event and show you what it takes to run your very own consumer-facing electronics show.

We’ve got conversations with Google’s Tamar Yehoshua, OUYA’s Julie Uhrman, Jason Parrish and Corinna Proctor from Lenovo, Chris Anderson, DJ Spooky, Mark Frauenfelder, Veronica Belmont, Ryan Block, plus folks from NASA, 3D Robotics, Oculus, Google Lunar X Prize, TechShop, Lunar and IndieGogo. We’ll go for a spin on ZBoard’s latest electric skateboard and show off the da Vinci surgical robot, the Ekso robotic exoskeleteon and the latest UAV from 3D Robotics — we’ll also be taking you out on the town in a Tesla Model S. And for a little bit of high drama, there’s our first-ever Insert Coin: New Challengers competition, including conversations with the semi-finalists and the big moment of truth. All that plus kids, dogs and your favorite Engadget Editors. Join us after the break for a warm and fuzzy Engadget Show, won’t you?

Google has been a strong advocate of white space wireless as democratizing broadband access: its long-range nature can bring people online when the local internet framework isn’t always reliable, if it exists at all. The company is about to illustrate that potential through a new trial in South Africa. A trio of base stations at Stellenbosch University in Cape Town will supply ten nearby primary and secondary schools with internet access to prove that white space access can work without affecting TV signals. To make sure it won’t, Google is picking the safest frequencies from a database and is measuring the results for the sake of both nervous broadcasters and the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa. If all goes well, it (and similar efforts from Microsoft) should make a case for full approval of white space use across the country and deliver internet access to remote areas that risk being left by the technological wayside.
