Norcent delivers 19-inch LT-1931 / 22-inch LT-2231 LCD TVs
Norcent's 42-inch LT-4231P a bit too large for your armoire? If so, the firm is hoping to satisfy your LCD TV needs anyway with the 19-inch LT-1931 and 22-inch LT-2231. The former features a 1,440 x 900 resolution along with an 800:1 contrast ratio while the latter serves up a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1. Both sets enjoy a 2D digital comb filter, 300 cd/m2 brightness, a trilingual on-screen menu, HDMI / component / S-Video / composite inputs and a built-in TV tuner that plays nice with NTSC, ATSC and Clear-QAM signals. Unlike the aforementioned 42-incher, this pair is available as we speak for $299.99 and $379.99, respectively.
HP reveals 22-inch w2207h / 24-inch w2408h LCD monitors
HP just dropped in deets on a pair of swank new LCD monitors, so we'll get right to it. First up is the 22-inch w2207h (pictured above), which rocks a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution BrightView panel, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits of brightness, a five-millisecond response time, VESA mount support, HDMI (HDCP-compliant) / VGA inputs, a double-hinged base and My Display technology which enables "one-touch OSD adjustment for brightness, color and contrast." Next in line is the 24-inch w2408h (shown after the jump), which ups the ante with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 400 cd/m2 brightness, an ambient light sensor, and an integrated four-port USB hub. Catch 'em both next month for $349 and $499, respectively.
Toshiba's 22-inch monitor touts insane 3,840 x 2,400 resolution (and price)
Ready for yet another 22-inch LCD? How 'bout if it was pumping 4 times as many pixels as just about every other monitor in its class? We're talking 3,840 x 2,400 pixels for a WQUXGA display. Unfortunately, the specs fall off quickly (but not too quickly) from there: 235cd/m2 brightness, 300:1 contrast, and a weak-sauce 120-degree top/bottom and 100-degree left/right viewing angle. Of course you'll need a dedicated (dual-link, presumably) PCI graphics card to drive that resolution over the monitor's single DVI input. Shipping in Japan before summer for an anticipated ¥2,079,000. Right, a staggering $17,500 or about 50 of Dell's 22-inchers.P.S. Sorry, no picture, that's just a generic 22-incher to the right.Update: Toshiba will sell you a PCI graphics card for an additional ¥312,000 ($2,783). How nice.[Via Impress]
Gateway offers up 22-inch HD2200 / 24-inch FHD2400 LCD monitors
Finding that 30-inch XHD3000 to be a bit too rich for your blood (or just too ginormous for your desk)? Gateway understands, and that's why it's offering up new 22- and 24-inch LCD monitors for those who demand a bit less screen real estate. Up first is the 22-inch HD2200, which features a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, four-millisecond response time and 160-degree viewing angles. The 24-inch FHD2400 delivers 1080p support with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness and an ultra-speedy three-millisecond refresh rate. Moreover, both displays tout Faroudja DCDi video processing, DVI / HDMI / VGA / component jacks and built-in picture-in-picture functionality. As for pricing, the smaller sibling will run you $349.99 while the 24-incher will demand an extra $200, and both of 'em are available from a number of retailers as we speak.
NEC's new AccuSync LCDs do HDMI
NEC has three new LCDs ready for market, the 19-inch LCD19WMGX, 22-inch LCD22WMGX, and 24-inch LCD24WMCX. There's HDCP and HDMI across the board, with 1680 x 1050 pixels on the 22-inch and 1080p resolution on the 24-incher, along with DVI plugs for boring old desktop work. Each of the new AccuSyncs runs with a 5ms response time, and there's a 1,000:1 contrast ratio on the 1440 x 900 19-inch, while the bigger two do 2,000:1. Prices are at $280 and $380 for the small ones, which are available now, while 24-inch will hit later this month for $550.[Via Electronista]Read - LCD19WMGXRead - LCD22WMGXRead - LCD24WMCX
22-inch iZ3D LCDs are now available just under a grand
Your boring old desktop, now in 3D! Or at least if iZ3D has anything to say about it. The new 22-inch iZ3D widescreen 3D gaming monitor just hit iZ3D's online store for an almost-palatable $999. The displays run off of included S-3D drivers, which are supported by the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series, and ATI's FireGL V3600 workstation graphics card. There are also DirectX 8 and 9 drivers for XP and Vista, so you should be able to score some sort of 3D content without having to run out and buy new rig. The 3D tech uses passive polarized glasses to create the 3D effect, and feeds off of dual output video cards. The display itself boasts of a 1680 x 1050 resolution, 5ms response time and 600:1 contrast ratio.
Greenhouse offers up 22-inch widescreen LCD in Japan
Though you may be apt to link Greenhouse's name with incredibly small DAPs, the firm's TIG223SDB-L proves that it understands a thing or two about displays, too. Rockin' a 22-inch widescreen format, this sleek, all-black monitor touts a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution display, HDCP-compliant DVI port, VGA connector, an anti-glare coating, five-millisecond response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, integrated power supply, dual one-watt stereo speakers, and VESA mount support as well. All yours for ¥44,800, or just about $391.[Via AkihabaraNews]
Planar expands PX lineup with 22-, 24-, and 26-inch LCDs
Looking to satisfy the demands of those yearning for more pixelated real estate, Planar has added a trio of expansive options to its PX series. The 22-inch PX2210MW checks in with a WSXGA+ resolution, built-in TrueMedia speakers, a headphone jack, HDCP-compliant DVI port, and a VGA connector for good measure. The middle child (that'd be the PX2411W) steps it up with a WUXGA resolution, Planar's RapidVideo accelerator, and six-millisecond response time, while the flagship PX2611W adds four USB 2.0 ports and a five-millisecond response time. All these units come with a three-year warranty and look to be available right now, and while the low-ender will run you right around $299, the 24- and 26-inch iterations are going for $599 and $899, respectively.
Samsung announces 245BW and 226CW widescreen monitors
It wouldn't really be a Samsung release party without some monitors, now would it? -- and true to form, Sammy included a pair of 22- and 24-inch widescreen models in today's slew of announcements. The 245BW (pictured above) offers up a pretty standard 1920 x 1200 resolution, 5-millisecond response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio (3000:1 dynamic contrast), and 400 cd/m² of brightness, while the 226CW (pictured after the break) also features the expected specs, including 1680 x 1050 res, 300 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and rather snappy gray-to-gray 2-millisecond response time. Sammy is also playing up this latter unit's Wild Color Gamut CCFL backlighting technology, along with each model's suite of Magic-branded fine-tuning options that we're all so familiar with. Both monitors are shipping immediately, with the 24-incher retailing for $550 and the 22-incher asking $380.
Samsung intros 20-, 22-inch 'Swan' LCD monitors
While the most recent LCDs to emerge from Samsung's laboratories have been of the, um, gigantic variety, the firm's latest duo caters to the desk dwellers rather than the AV junkies. The 20-inch SyncMaster CX2032GW/BW models and 22-inch SyncMaster CX2232GW/BWs each consist of a widescreen Magic Clear panel (no word on resolution, however), and are designed with an "elastomer material which enables users to adjust the angles in any way they feel comfortable with." These aptly-nicknamed "Swan" displays should be available in Korea real soon, and while the 20-incher will demand ???368,000 ($399), the slightly larger sibling will run you a modest ???437,000 ($475).[Via Chosun]
LG's 22-inch FLATRON M228WA LCD doubles as HDTV
LG's FLATRON M228WA won't go down as the first LCD display that can hold its own as a television monitor, but this 22-incher does a decent job at catering to both sides of the equation rather than leaving one aspect feeling slighted. Dubbed the flagship device in the M8W series, this unit sports a widescreen aspect ratio, 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 3000:1 contrast ratio, five-millisecond response time, Digital Fine Contrast (DFC) technology to sharpen up images, and a pair of three-watt stereo speakers built right in. As for the port selection, you'll find DVI, S-Video, component, HDMI, composite, and VGA, and while this may look mighty tempting for an all-in-one solution to your current display dilemma, we're not sure how much it'll cost you when it finally lands.[Via PCLaunches]
Sotec's 22-inch LB22JW-02 LCD handles HDMI
We took a peek at several of Sotec's latest machines yesterday, and today we've got a 22-inch "Vista-certified" widescreen LCD monitor from the same firm that boasts an HDMI input. Additionally, you'll notice a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, VGA input, five-millisecond response time, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, dual two-watt stereo speakers built-in, and 300 cd/m2 brightness to boot. Of course, the ho hum design leaves something to be desired, but if you're lookin' to do HDMI on your PC display, you can snag the LB22JW-02 right now for ¥49,800 ($410).[Via Impress]
Corega announces 22-inch CG-L22WDGW, WDGB widescreen monitors
Corega has announced two new Japan-only 1680 x 1050, 22-inch LCDs: the CG-L22WDGW and CG-L22WDGB. Both models feature glossy finishes, 1000:1 contrast ratios, 5ms response times, dual DVI-D, VGA, and Component inputs, plus 2 x 5 Watt speakers -- welcome to tinny city. The only difference between the two models and their very annoying 10 character designations is that one (WDGW) comes in a white, and the other in black (WDGB). For some reason you'll have to wait until April to pick up the White variant, with the Black model available on March 22: although you'll have to travel to Japan and plunk down ¥57,800 ($490) in order to get either.[Via PC Watch]
Rock to roll out 22-inch all-in-one Meivo HTPC
"Xtreme" laptop OEM Rock has just announced its upcoming Meivo all-in-one PC, a Vista-powered 22-inch monster that features Core 2 Duo processors and several internal tuner options. Coming at the end of April for an even £1,000, Meivo is built around a 1,680 x 1,050 panel sporting side-mounted memory card slots and USB ports, with WiFi, Bluetooth, 7.1 output, and a pair of drive bays rounding out the specs. As far as tuners go, you get your choice of analog, digital, or hybrid -- all MXM compliant for easy expansion and upgrades. Probably not the best machine for power computing, but for watching the full season of Jericho so far on CBS Innertube from bed, this would make a good choice.Read - Press releaseRead - "Teaser" site[Via Shiny Shiny]
Acer releases new xSeries LCD monitors
Acer's recently carpet bombed the US with no less than five new LCD monitors in its entry-level xSeries lineup, with models ranging from 17- to 24-inches that are rather obliquely said to be designed for "multimedia, gaming and video applications." Since the specs on these two standard and three widescreen displays are average at best, we're not sure that pros in any of the above mentioned fields would really be interested -- but with prices ranging from $180 (17-inch x171s) to just $600 (24-inch widescreen x241Wsd), they could certainly give Dell, Samsung, and friends a run for their money. Specifically, the two square models (the 17-incher and 19-inch x191sd) share the exact same configuration save for maximum viewing angles, with both displays offering up 1,280 x 1,024 resolutions, eight millisecond response times, 700:1 contrast ratios, and 300cd/m² maximum brightness. The widescreen models do just a little bit better: the 19-inch x191Wsd and 22-inch x221Wsd rock 1,440 x 900 and 1,680 x 1,050 resolutions, respectively, along with five millisecond response times, 800:1 contrast ratios. and the same max brightness as their buddies; meanwhile, the 24-incher steps up the resolution to a pretty standard 1,920 x 1,200, contrast ratio to 1000:1, and brightness to 400cd/m², but retains the five millisecond response time of the other widescreens. Should be in stores now, so go nuts.[Via PC Launches]
I-O Data cranks out 19- / 22-inch HDCP-compliant LCDs
A few months and a new operating system later, it looks like I-O Data is upping the ante on its 17- / 19-inch LCDs in a couple big ways. Both of the firm's newest displays, which come in at 19- and 22-inches, sport a black or silver color scheme, dual 1.5-watt stereo speakers, VGA inputs, HDCP-compliant DVI ports, audio inputs, and of course, the obligatory Vista certification. The smaller of the two boasts a 1,440 x 900 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 800:1 contrast ratio, five-millisecond response time, and a viewing angle of 170-degrees. The 22-inch variety, however, steps up to a WSXGA+ resolution, but aside from that detail, remains identical in terms of specifications to its smaller sibling. Both monitors are scheduled to hit the Japanese market in late March, and while the LCD-AD192XW/B will run you ¥39,800 ($330), the model your eyes truly desire (read: the larger LCD-AD221XW/B) will demand an extra ¥10,000 ($83).[Via Impress]Read - I-O Data's LCD-AD192XW/BRead - I-O Data's LCD-AD221XW/B
Chimei gets into iZ3D game with 22-inch LCD
We've been seeing this iZ3D stuff around -- you know, that low-impact 3D display technology which almost actually works, two high claims in the notoriously lame 3D tech circle. Well, now Taiwan's Chimei is busting out what looks to be the first 22-inch LCD sporting that iZ3D spec. Unfortunately, that's about as much info as we've got on the display, other than the 140 degree viewing angle, but we can tell you that Chimei isn't just stopping here: it's planning a whole line LCD displays of the computer and television varieties for the North American market in '07, and with Chimei's success in the Taiwan and European markets, we might be seeing some good, friendly competition on our retail shelves this year.Read - Aving.netRead - DigiTimes
Mitsubishi's RDT221WM Diamondcrysta 22-inch LCD
The shift towards a larger standard screen size isn't a surprising one (remember the dark days of 15-inch CRTs?). Besides, manufacturers need a legal reason to keep prices level as efficiency is continually increased, and consumers can't seem to get enough screen estate. Unless you've been living in a cave for the past few months, then you'll have noticed that the size du jour is 22-inch widescreen LCDs. Mitsubishi is the latest to join the fray with the announcement of the 22-inch RDT221WM Diamondcrysta -- although sadly it doesn't come with any diamonds or crystals. Specs wise, the RDT221WM features a 1680 x 1050 panel which is viewable 160 degrees vertically and horizontally, a hardly dazzling brightness of 300cd/m2, a pretty standard 800:1 contrast ratio, and an average 5ms response time. If that didn't blow your mind (it didn't ours), then the 1W speakers, choice of silver or black bezels, and the non-HDCP DVI-D and VGA inputs probably won't either. No matter, because the ¥59,800 ($506) price tag is pretty much in line with the feature set. If you're still interested, then look for the RDT221WM when it's available on January 26.[Thanks, vinit]
V7 kicks out budget 22-inch R22W02 LCD monitor
Just in case the world didn't have quite enough low-end, questionably built LCD monitors, we've got one more comin' down the pike, as V7 -- formerly "known" as Videoseven -- unveils its R22W02 monitor. This 22-inch LCD has a "focus on value," which presumably means it takes a hit in the quality department, but regardless, it sports a 16:9 aspect ratio, on-screen controls, 700:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1,650 x 1,050 resolution, 5-millisecond response time, VGA / DVI input, and a less-than-attractive black / silver color scheme. No, you won't soon be boasting about this thing to your pals, nor will find anything above marginal specs, but you will get a (relatively) large widescreen panel for "under $349."
Samsung's (not quite) "Full HD" 22-inch LCD TV: FTW?
Ok, here's a strange one: Samsung floated an LCD television in Korea this morning which they claim is "Full HD" -- in other words, 1080p with a resolution of at least 1920x1080, right? No, in fact, their new CX225MD rig is being reported as having the same 1680x1050 resolution and specs as their 22-inch LCD monitor only dressed-up in a slathering of gloss, under panel speaker, and television tuner. Judging by how all the glamour shots have the rig snuggled up with an Xbox 360, we're guessing this set is targeting gamers so we'll likely find component inputs, HDMI, and HDCP-enabled DVI as found in their CX223B monitor this is based on. But if you're looking for the ultimate convergence panel for your gaming/PC needs first, occasional up-close hi-def TV/movie watching second, then check the new Sharp AQUOS LC-32GS (if you can afford it) which packs a full 1080p, 32-inch display. Otherwise, feel free to rid yourself of the 690,000KRW (about $745) required to take this baby home. Sammy won't mind. [Via Akihabara]
