Fujitsu's "Zero-Watt" Monitor Uses Zero Power in Standby Mode

Fujitsu Siemens has developed a new monitor that claims to use zero power in standby mode. This money-saving monitor miracle is made possible thanks to a built-in switch that shuts down the monitor completely when a signal from the computer is absent—and then abruptly brings it back to life when the signal reappears. This sort of technology will prove especially useful for businesses, which is why Fujitsu is aiming squarely at this market when the monitor is released this summer. Fortunately for the rest of us, this new model will sell for the same price as conventional monitors. [Physorg via Treehugger]

question of the day

Question of the Day: How Big is Your Monitor?

We already asked about the size of your TV, so it is only fitting that we do a follow-up focusing on computer monitors. The choices after the break offer a basic range that should accommodate owners of most laptops, LCDs and CRTs. Just pick the number that is closest to the measurement of your viewable area (rounding up if necessary). That having been said, if you own a CRT, keep in mind that the two types of monitors are measured differently. Make sure your figure does not include the screen frame. UPDATE: TV monitor option added. More »

Samsung Monitors Get "Touch of Color" Treatment, 20000:1 Contrast Ratio

Samsung has four new monitors with the same amber-hued "Touch of Color" screens as their Series 6 and 7 TVs seen at CES. The T190 ($259), T220($359), T240($499), and T260($599) are 19, 22, 24, and 26 inches respectively, and feature a 20000:1 contrast ratio, which looked good to us despite the controversy that always surrounds contrast measurement. The monitors also feature adjustable aspect ratios and support for multi-screen functionality, among other qualities. The T190 and T220 are available now, and the other two will be out in July. Full release after the jump. [product page, Samsung] More »

Dell Crystal LCD Reviewed: Shiny, Expensive and Crappy

Gefen USB to DVI Adapter Can Handle Up to 6 Monitors

This is not the first time a USB to DVI adapter had come down the pipeline, but the new Gefen adapter can drive an impressive 6 additional displays at 1600X1200 resolution. It is not great for larger monitors by any means, but at only $129 it could be a relatively inexpensive solution. Gefen also notes that it "uses little computer resources" which means that there is at least a chance that this thing won't be a huge processor suck. Additional images after the break. More »

BenQ's V2400W is the World's Slimmest 24-inch LCD

People who want big screen space without having to buy a wide desk to support it can take a look at this BenQ V2400W, which is the world's slimmest 24-inch widescreen monitor. It's apparently more than 21% slimmer than the next slimmest monitor at 2.44 inches, and has a 4000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 1080p HD support. Two and a half inches. Thinner than most of the stuff we've got dangling around. [Far East Gizmos]

Dell 2009W 20-Inch LCD Monitor

Dell's got a new 20-inch monitor. It's below our size-threshold for external displays here at Giz, but as Dell sells some of the best computer LCDs around, it's worth noting that this screen has a 2000:1 contrast ratio, better than the 1000:1 in their 22-incher. More »

AUO's 24-inch, 16:9 LCD Display is World's First Truly "Widescreen" Monitor

College students and people who enjoy watching movies on their computers will enjoy this AU Optronics 24-inch monitor, which is the world's first 16:9 aspect ratio display for your desk. Why would you want something that's 16:9 as opposed to the slightly narrower ratio that traditional "widescreen" desktop monitors have? Because 16:9 is the ratio many HDTV programs and movies are filmed in, and this AU set will get you a native 1080p display. Other details: CCFL-lit display (not LED), 1000:1 contrast ratio, and various different size displays coming soon. Is a 16:9 aspect ratio display worth it just to not have black bars when watching a movie? Probably not unless you're a nut that hates black bars. [Electronista]

We Paw the Dell Crystal Monitor


The shining: We told you all about that gorgeous Dell Crystal monitor when it was officially shipped last week, and now we laid our own eyes on its exquisite beauty. It's even prettier up close, with deep blacks, crispy sharpness and Technicolor hues that thrilled even the most jaded of our team. Just look at how thin and beauteous it is, from all sides. Insert wolf whistle sound effect here! Dull Ache: The dang thing costs $1200, for a 1680x1050 22-inch display. Maybe it'll be on sale someday.

Ultra-Pretty Dell Crystal LCD Monitor Now Available

Dell has flaunted this gorgeous monitor for a while in various trade shows and press events, always saying that it's just a design concept and not available yet. That all changes now, because the 22-inch Dell Crystal LCD display is suddenly a real product. Just in time for CES, this beauty is set to ship in the next few days, and even though its spec list isn't as high-end as we had hoped, it's still so pretty, if it were smaller we'd want to wear it as a necklace.

Canon, Panasonic and Hitachi Join Up, Dig In for Flat-Panel War

When it looks like it might get ugly outside, you hold hands. At least in the business world. And the flat panel market, especially LCDs, is looking pretty throat-cutty. Hence we've got two big back-to-back hookups: First, Toshiba and Sharp. Now, Canon and Panasonic are each swallowing 24.9 percent of Hitachi Displays, a subsidiary of Hitachi that fabs LCD panels to make a flat-panel triad, which hopefully means cheaper, better displays on our end as they share the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Cinema Display Pulled From Apple Store Front Page: New Displays Finally on the Way?

That snubby little spark, mixed with the fuel they're old as balls at this point (over three years) has rumors of new Cinema Displays lodged in Apple's chimney all aflame. More »

LG Develops Smudge-Free LCD Screen: Touch Tablets Rejoice

I go into a conniption when I show someone something on my notebook and they press their dirty, oily finger into my screen, knowing I'll have to bust out an LCD wipe to restore its pristine state. No more! LG Philips LCD's latest LCD panel—which takes after non-stick frying pans&dmash;will let you wipe off smudges, fingerprints, ink (!) and other stickiness (ew) with your shirt, just like an iPhone. They go into mass production in the first half of '08, so they should start making touch computing a little less greasy by next summer. [AP/Yahoo!, Flickr]
