Elite Portable Floor-Rising Screen is Pure Magic
Good lord, look at this Elite Portable Floor-Rising Screen that's motorized. Carry it around with you, make it rise with its magic motors, and impress all those superficial suits on your next presentation road trip. Or, keep it right at home, take off that easily-removed handle, and it looks like it's a permanent installation. Available by June, your choice of either an 84" or a 100" diagonal screen will set you back $2000. Screen sizes up to 150" are planned.

Lifefast Transparent 360 Ad Display is LED Craziness in a (Big) Can
Technohouse showed off the Lifefast, a radical transparent, 360 LED display unit at the Inter BEE 2007 fair in Japan. Placed at right angles to each other in the Lifefast's cylindrical design are four bars, each fitted with 600 three-color LEDs, which revolve between 12 and 13 times per second, flashing up images. More info and pics below. More »

Samsung's 40-inch TFT-LCD is Just One Centimeter Thick
Samsung is to unveil a bunch of new screens in Japan at the end of this week, including the 40-inch beauty you see here, with a thickness of just 1 cm. The first of the Korean electronics giant's next wave of large-screen TVs, the 40-incher is as thick as a 10- to 20-inch LCD desktop monitor, and has a bezel of just 14.6 mm, reduced from 30 mm. LED backlighting reduces power consumption to around 90 watts. Another pic, and info on what to keep your eyes peeled for in Yokohama this week below. More »

Now, here's a great idea: Why not disguise a projection screen as a bookshelf, and then place a few other identical-looking shelves nearby as decoys? That's just what Italian designer Matteo Ragni has dreamed up here, trying to cross that bridge between a dedicated home theater room and a multi-use space that might double as a reading room, too. The only problem we see? If this is going to be a big enough screen, it's going to amount to one tremendously long shelf. This example is 170 centimeters, or 66.9 inches wide. That's not going to give you much of a big-screen experience. [Livit (Italian), via Red Ferret]

Those manufacturers of multitouch devices of the high visual quality and resilience of the iPhone's might have another option from Sharp. According to Impress, the LCD veterans have made a 3.5 inch, 480 x 320 screen, capable of multitouch. These can be made up to 12 inches in diagonal size. Perfect for a portable. Somehow, sites are reporting that this thing can SCAN, too. Strange, and unconfirmed, at least by me.

Rumor Smashed: MacBook Pro CCFL and LED Displays Have No Discernible Difference
According to sources very familiar with Apple displays and MacBook development, there is no discernible difference between CCFL MacBook Pro displays and the new LED MacBook Pro displays. All the eyeball tests so far have been either faulty or just plain wrong. More »

Proof That Zune Screens Are Cracking?
Microsoft may be denying it, but a handful of Zune owners are still insisting that their player's screens are cracking on their own for no apparent reason. One of the owners went as far as taking stills and video of his damaged Zune. Apparently the crack is only visible when the Zune is turned on. Last time we checked, no one else seemed to have this problem so it's looking more like an isolated case or complete hoax. More »

LED-Backlit Apple and HP Laptops in Q2?
Laptops from Apple and HP might use LEDs as a backlight source starting in the second quarter of this year. These LED backlights distribute backlight more evenly than the cold cathode florescent backlights used in laptops today, and also offer a higher range of colors. More »

LG and Philips LCD Hone Cellphone Screens to 1.3mm
Instead of boring you to tears with pics and specs of every goddamn cellphone that's ever been released, let's just take a look at this one reed-thin screen that will tell you a lot about what's going to be happening with those ubiquitous communicators in the next few months. LG and Philips have somehow created an LCD screen that's between 32% and 55% slimmer than its nearest competitor, springing the caliper at a mere 1.3mm. Jeez, look at that—it's about the thickness of a credit card or a piece of cardboard. More »

Just Another Fancy Projector Screen
Wissmann Raumobjekte decided that having a plasma TV or LCD TV was just too plain. Hell, he even thought that having a projector on the wall was too plain. So he designed a "contemporary entertainment surface." It is mounted in a cool manner, and comes with stands for surround sound speakers. It is essentially a screen to be projected on. Contemporary chair and conveniently empty studio apartment are not included. More »

Epson Claims Better LCD On Its Way
WIth more LCD displays being banged out in Asia every day, we're hoping to see not only a dip in prices, but better quality products as well. So it's nice that Epson (or Sanyo Epson in Japan) is claiming its three new displays will include a technoloyg called Photo FIne Chromarich, which they claim "achieves more than 100% coverage of the NTSC* color gamut." This really means you'll get better color rendering and higher resolution while the display actually consumes less power. Of course, these particular LCD will be manufactured for mobile devices, measuring only a tiny 2.2, 2.8 and 4.5 inches. But if you wish real hard, maybe we'll see them in bigger sizes sometime soon.
