Mitsubishi announces new 20.1-inch widescreen display
It looks like Mitsubishi is refreshing a few of the monitors it released in Japan last year, with the company announcing its new 20.1-inch RDT202WM-S model today, presumably a replacement for the similarly-spec'd RDTD201WM. This time around the monitor gets to add HDCP compliance to its list of specs, not to mention a spiffy new glossy display. Otherwise, the monitor will give you the standard 1680 x 1050 resolution, along with a decent 800:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms response time, 450cd/m2 brightness, and the requisite DVI input. If that sounds like it'll fit the bill, you'll be able to snag one of these on June 15th (in Japan only, naturally) in your choice of black or white for ¥49,800, or just over $400.
Prestigio intros 22-inch P7220W widescreen monitor
Prestigio has busted out a new monitor for those looking for something a little more imposing than their 17 or 19-inch offerings, taking things up to a full 22 inches with its new P7220W widescreen display. Specs-wise, there's not a whole lot to distinguish it from other similarly-sized monitors, with it boasting a not uncommon 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 5 ms response time, and the standard 1680 x 1050 resolution, with both DVI and VGA inputs, as well as a pair of sure-to-be-used 3W speakers. No word on price, but it doesn't look like we'll be seeing this one 'round here anytime soon, with it instead headed towards various countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
EIZO unveils 22.2-inch ColorEdge CG221 pro LCD display
Widely known for its so-called "professional displays," EIZO has unveiled a new flagship model that touts the ability to reproduce "nearly 100 percent" of the Adobe RGB color space, among other niceties. The 22.2-inch ColorEdge CG221 sports a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio, 400:1 contrast ratio, and comes equipped with EIZO's latest 12-bit lookup table with a literal smorgasbord of color tones. The monitor can be quickly calibrated using the bundled ColorNavigator software, but leaves you the responsibility of coughing up the dough for those pricey calibration devices. While this LCD comes with every type of black level, brightness, white point, and gamma adjustment you can imagine, EIZO reportedly saves you the trouble by shipping the CG221 with pre-examined "factory settings" already in place; you'll also get EIZO's typical five year warranty and a nifty screen hood to fully "geek out" your ultra-precise display. While this eagle-eyed monitor is supposedly available right now, pricing deets aren't nearly as clear, but we're fairly certain this level of exactitude demands a pretty penny.[Via BIOS]
