    If you're in the market for a new desktop display and future-proofing is a must, look no further. With HDCP-compatible DVI input this 22-inch widescreen should play your digital-output only flagged discs of the future at its maximum resolution of 1680x1050 with a 5ms refresh time. No word on price, possibility of a US release or contrast ratio of the CX223BW but we figure why do things halfway? Grab a Westinghouse LVM-47w1 47-inch LCD, sit a couple feet back and really get down to business.[Via Engadget]

    Akihabara News must have had a successful test run of their HD news. They are now going to run all of them in high definition and what else is better then to debut a HD product. The small HD camcorder by Sanyo is the subject of this video. The video is in WMV9HD format and they are distributing the 60 MB file via Bit Torrent. The video is of course great quality video and goes over the basic features of the camcorder.In case your are not familiar with Akihabara News, they are the best English blog out of Japan. They feature all sorts of cool gadgets and unfortunately, most of them will never make it to us here in the States.

    AkihabaraNews is one of our favorite sites, the best English language site I know of for tech news in the land of "gadgets we'll never see here", aka Japan. They also feature video downloads of some of these cool items, and now will be showing them off in stunning high definition.So if you could, please stop by and check out the test clip they're distributing via BitTorrent (uTorrent is the best client out, period), and look forward to some sort of Sanyo HD surprise on January 11th.
