Jabra BT4010 Bluetooth Headset Has LCD Info Screen

Kit Eaton — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:26:32 EDT

Jabra's new BT4010 Bluetooth headset has one feature that sets it apart from all the others: a teeny, tiny LCD screen. With that one addition, decoding what your headset is up to is no longer a game of flashing lights or R2D2-like beeps: it'll show you when it's connected, when there's a call, and how full its battery is. So simple. That battery also lasts for six hours of talking, and the whole thing weighs 10 grams. No word on price or launch date. [Phonearena via Gadget lab]

Interactive Graffiti Billboard Lets You Be Simultaneously Tough and Geeky

Finally, graffiti and technology have joined to create something beautiful. Mark Ecko is designing digital citylights that will consist of a giant LCD screen and a Bluetooth interface that will allow passerby's to "spray graffiti" by accessing the screen via Bluetooth. They will then be able to use their cell phone cursor to spray any phallic object and/or clever curse words they can think of.

Not sure when or even if this will come out (and it looks like it'll be in Germany) — but it's a godsend for tech-savvy gang members. By the way, if you're not sure what a "citylight" is — it's that large, vertical LCD screen that you see in the picture. [Ads of the World]

LG Flatron L1960-TR: They Want Your Images to be Vibrant

www.gizmodo.com — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 08:32:36 EST

LG are hoping that their latest monitor, the Flatron L1960-TR, will appeal to consumers as much as graphic pros and photographers. The L1960-TR boasts 3000:1 contrast ratio - more than four times as much as its rivals, according to the Korean company.

The 19-incher features DFC (Digital Fine Contrast) control technology, which apparently makes images more vibrant and which, LG claims, "is as close as you get to the real thing." The L1960-TR has both VGA and DVI video imputs and will be joined in April by a wide-screen version as well as 20-inch and 22inch TFT monitors. Cost is $289.99, which is not bad when you're looking at $699 for something similar from Apple. – Ad Dugdale
