Mitsubishi's latest 23-inch Diamondcrysta fulfills your matte, IPS desktop display dreams

Terrence O'Brien — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:29:00 EST

It seems like, if a company isn't hopping on board the OLED train, it's the IPS express that's catching their flat-panel fancy. Mitsubishi is banking the wider viewing angles provided by the in-plane switching tech can carry its 23-inch Diamondcrysta Wide RDT233WX-Z to desktop display success. The 120Hz monitor features the Giga Clear Engine II LSI for smoothing out high-speed video and a special movie mode for better performance when showing 24p films. Around back are the usual assortment of connections, including a pair of HDMI ports, DVI-D, mini D-Sub, and the Japanese D5 jack. Perhaps best of all, unlike most recent 1080p monitors we've seen, the latest Diamondcrysta skips the glossy sheen for a matte coating. The RDT233WX-Z goes on sale in Japan on June 29th for around 54,800 yen (about $683) and you'll find the PR, in all its machine translated glory, after the break.

Creative's new Bluetooth speakers sound vaguely familiar

Brian Heater — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:51:00 EST

Creative's family of Bluetooth speakers got a few more additions today. The company unveiled the wireless one-piece D80, which for most intents and purposes, is identical to its colorful sibling the D100, save for a lower price tag at $50 and a loss of battery power. The $300 ZiiSound D5x, meanwhile, looks an awful lot like 2010's D5, though this one plays nice with the newly announced D3x modular speaker and DSx modular subwoofer, both of which are priced at $150 a pop. The D80 is hitting this month and the ZiiSound's various components will be arriving this summer, so don't throw out last year's models just yet. Press info after the break.

iriver P10 launches at last, D5 lands on our shores

Paul Miller — Tue, 20 May 2008 09:26:00 EST

It took 'em a year, but iriver is finally ready to unleash its P10 touchscreen mega-PMP upon the world -- or at least Korea. The player rocks T-DMB, an 800 x 480 4.3-inch LCD, 33GB of storage and quite unique UI. There's also an included stylus and built-in handwriting recognition, with dictionaries for English, Chinese and Japanese. For about $312 US you can get a DMB-free unit, or spring for mobile TV at a $390-ish pricepoint, but again, those are both Korea only. If you're looking to spice up your life this side of the Pacific, iriver is also bringing its D5 clamshell multimedia dictionary to the States, at $300 for 2GB and $350 for 4GB.

D Cube's D9 PMP packs DMB tuner, kickstand

Darren Murph — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 23:14:00 EST

D Cube's been safely off the radar for quite some time, but its D9 includes just enough goodness to warrant a second glance. For starters, you'll find a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, support for MP3, OGG, WMA, AVI, WMV and JPEG file formats and a T-DMB TV tuner to keep things interesting. In case the 2GB / 4GB of internal storage proves too tiny for your bloated collection of acid rock, you can fit a few more tracks on there thanks to the microSD / SDHC expansion slot. Not one to stay parked in the palms, the D9 also includes a kickstand and a pair of lackluster speakers for watching extended clips. Probably a good bet for just ?128,000 ($131) -- 'tis a shame it won't ever make its way Stateside.

iriver gets in touch with its inner pink

Paul Miller — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:29:00 EST

We're not exactly sure what the special event is -- Breast Cancer Awareness Month isn't until October -- but we suppose you can celebrate the joy of pink whenever the mood strikes. Iriver is busting out pink versions for a bunch of its players, including the clix, MPlayer, D5 and recently-launched E100. Apparently a set of pink colored pencils is also included as a free "gift" with the purchase of any of these units, which should come in handy for that Precious Moments diptych we were thinking of doing.

iriver's D5 electronic dictionary gets whitewashed

Joshua Topolsky — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:03:00 EST

We know it's not natural to get all funny about an e-dictionary, but we can't help it -- iriver's little D5 gets us hot under the collar. You may remember seeing this multi-use, flip-open device in its original black, but luckily for us the company has decided to issue a new color that we can oggle. As before, the D5 features MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio playback, a 480 x 272 TFT display, an FM radio, voice recorder, and USB connectivity. Also as before, you'll need to hit Korea if you hope to get your hands on one -- cause this puppy doesn't seem to be headed Stateside.

HyOn's D5 navigator sports dual-DMB tuner

Darren Murph — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 17:09:00 EST

We'll admit, HyOn's D5 sure looks a lot like the Xent X3, but unlike its predecessors, this fancy navigator rocks a dual-DMB tuner. That's right kids, this Korea-only unit sports a single integrated DMB module that supports both T-DMB and S-DMB, and if that wasn't enough to get you in a tizzy, it also features a 800 x 480 resolution LCD, a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset, dual 1.5-watt speakers and an integrated antenna to pull in those DMB waves. Thankfully for those of us pouting about not having a residence in Seoul, this thing costs a whopping ?490,000 ($520) in 2GB form or ?530,000 ($563) for 4GB, so it's not like you'd buy one even if you could. Okay, so maybe you would.

Iriver's D5 electronic dictionary makes us want to learn Korean

Thomas Ricker — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 01:16:00 EST

Damn if iriver can't build'em some sexy. Meet the D5, the Brad to the NV's Angelina. As we heard last week, the D5 is an electronic dictionary... but also so much more. At just 14.9-mm thick closed, the D5 Dicple packs a 3.0-inch, 480 x 272 pixel TFT display for all your flash and MPEG-4 video while sporting an FM radio (with voice and FM recording skills) as well as MP3, WMA, OGG audio. It even packs a 52-key QWERTY into this shirt-pocketable device. Sadly, as an eDic, it won't be escaping Asia for a Stateside stay so you'll have to satiate your lust in the gallery for now.

iriver M10, D5 devices surface online

Donald Melanson — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:19:00 EST

The iriver-lovin' folks at iriverfans.com have gotten their hands on what they claim to be pics of a pair of forthcoming devices from the company, which are supposedly set to be unveiled at the SEK exhibition in Korea later this month. First up is the iriver M10 (seen above), a GPS device that also packs the usual array of PMP funtions, including a DMB tuner for some added distraction. Unfortunately, that's about all that's known about it at the moment, other than that it'll also sport a spiffy new interface. Even less clear are any details on the company's D5 "electronic dictionary," although you can get a good look at it after the break.

Stephen Colbert makes play for iPhone at D5

Chris Ziegler — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 11:49:00 EST

For most of us, having Steve Jobs' direct attention is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (well, actually, it's a never-in-a-lifetime event for the overwhelming majority of the populace, but stay with us here). Stephen Colbert got his this week, introducing Viacom CEO Phillipe Dauman via video clip at D5. Jobs was, of course, a big player at D, and Colbert did his best to take advantage by suggesting that a gratis iPhone in his pocket -- followed by a mention on his show -- might be just the trick to spurring sales (notice that he's ogling an imaginary iPhone in this screen grab). We suspect the effort was for naught; iPhones are as scarce now as they've ever been, never mind the fact that the media has generated pretty much all the buzz Apple can handle free of charge. Might we suggest working a company that's a little less stingy with prerelease units, Stephen?
