For a monitor with 176 degrees viewing angle and Height/Swivel adjustment, it's not expensive at all. And true 900:1 contrast ratio is quite good for LCD. Most LCD monitors manage half of that, no matter what the manufacturers claim.

Is the optical drive in the slim PS3 based on a laptop drive or a desktop drive? That would explain the slower speed compared to the previous generation (which was a desktop drive). I wonder what would be the reliability of this drive, as laptop drives have much lower MTBF.

Isn't it cheaper to buy a laptop with Blu-Ray and HDMI, and hook it up to your TV? You could even use the laptop on your travels..

,,and I thought the king of 22" monitors was the Lenovo L220x with 1920x1200 resolution, PVA panel and a price to match.

The designer of this phone sure has a sense of humor. By calling this Crapgadget, it's obvious that the editors of Engadget don't.

It's gonna be Windows vs. Mac again. Apple was years ahead when the Mac came out, but because of their arrogance, they lost the market to Microsoft. The iPhone may have a pretty interface, but all the useful applications will end up on Android, along with the users.

is this the cheapest LED display on the market? actually, is there another LED display except for the high end samsungs?

15,000 contrast ratio on LCD? when will they start giving true numbers?

who is buying this, on any other digital camera, for video work? any $500 camcorder is better suited for video work, just by virtue of its shape. i'd rather they sell this camera for $500 less, without the movie and live view 'features'. i wonder which model will sell more..
other than that, canon is still the market leader in digital cameras. they were the only high end camera maker that was also making video equipment, so no wonder they have all this expertise in lenses AND electronics.
