Candela's new 20.1-inch PROMISSION display for pros
The new CLM20D1SB "PROMISSION" display from Candela isn't as pro as they come, but it's nicely specced all the same. It runs at a 1600 x 1200 UXGA resolution, with 300 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 8ms response times. For inputs the display manages the usual DVI and VGA plugs. Not really a lot that stands out, and the $600-ish pricetag isn't exactly bargain-basement, but the display should be out August 25th all the same.[Via Impress]
Konica Minolta develops ultra-bright mobile display
Making mobile displays extraordinarily bright seems counter to the logic that battery life is priority number one, but Konica Minolta is taking its chances and marketing its new organic EL backlight tech to cellphone manufacturers, claiming to rock 1,000 candela per square meter (by comparison, a highway flare burns at about 70 candela). We're questioning the need -- or ability, for that matter -- to look at a screen blasting more light at us than a small flashlight, but if the output can be toned down for typical use, we can certainly see the safety applications in this. Just don't kill our precious batteries, Konica Minolta, and we're down.[Via Akihabara News]
