They've got 20 photos on the screen, slide a couple of them around, enlarge them just a tad (25%?) so that they are still too small to see, then slide their logo from the right to the middle-right.

I was waiting for them to do something cool, but saw nothing.

Then they had Wolfie standing between 4 plasmas numbered Exit Poll 1-4. All of them sat there saying "Data Loading" until they actually zoomed in to them individually at which point they showed poll results. Jeesh. Looked like they were taking 60 seconds to load a pie chart.

I know it was all for show, but I couldn't help feeling dumbed down to. Guess that was my punishment for putting them on in the first place.]]>Jan 9th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qO-diu4jq4]]>Jan 9th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/
I don't see why that would harm the iPhone though because the iPhone's screen is made of ordinary glass, right?]]>Jan 9th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/
The only reason I know this is because my school was throwing away their old CRT monitors and decided to let students look through the lot first. I snagged a nice 19" flat screened CRT, but when I got it home I noticed that the anti-glare coating had cracks in it. I used a scrubbing pad with some stuff called "Simple Green" (non toxic solvent) for about an hour scrubbing away until I got it all off. It doesn't look as good as it would with anti-glare but at least there are not lines squiggling around my display.]]>Jan 9th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/

My theory is that the 32" plasma temperature fluctuates as opposed to the 20" LCD

The latency between the hand gesture and the corresponding UI action is way too long. For a natural-feeling perception the latency has to less than 100ms (10th of a second).
It is clearly visible on the video that here the lag is sometimes more than half a second.

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but the iPhone/iPod touch GUI is at least 5 times more responsive and thus it feels much more natural. Just like actually touching and interacting with controls.]]>Jan 9th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/Jan 9th 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/hands-on-video-with-the-lg-philips-massive-52-inch-multi-touch/
Also, dayum, that Perceptive Pixel display looks SWEET. Finally, comment spam that pays off! :)
