Look at engadget; like most sites it only uses a small portion of the screen horizontally but scrolls down vertically for tends of thousands of pixels.  Cutting down the vertical resolution is the last thing we need.  Monitor manufacturers are screwing us by sacrificing performance in order to increase their margins.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Charles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2009 9:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's new W53 SMART monitors pack more intelligence per pixel]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/lgs-new-w53-smart-monitors-pack-more-intelligence-per-pixel/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/lgs-new-w53-smart-monitors-pack-more-intelligence-per-pixel/</guid><description><![CDATA[23" is $250-280 CDN and the 24" is about $350-$380 CDN.<br><br>I actually bought the 23" 2 weeks ago at Future Shop, nice monitor.

Basically the controls are all touch, and there's a light for each "button".... Those lights are dim unless your hands come near them, and you have to be near the actual buttons as well, not just the display.  You still need to touch the actual unit to bring up anything onscreen, so you won't be getting a brightness adjustment on the screen just by waving your hands around.<br><br>I can take a video and post to show this if it makes it more clear as well.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dak0ta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2009 10:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's new W53 SMART monitors pack more intelligence per pixel]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/lgs-new-w53-smart-monitors-pack-more-intelligence-per-pixel/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/lgs-new-w53-smart-monitors-pack-more-intelligence-per-pixel/</guid><description><![CDATA[Finally a desktop monitor with an ambient light sensor!
