iPad 2 display leaked? (updated)
Do you believe what you're seeing? 9to5Mac along with iFixYouri repair say they've got the new iPad 2 display. Better yet, they've got the purported part number: LP097X02-SLN1, compared to the original iPad's LP097X02-SLA3 display. It's said to be lighter and more than 1-mm thinner than the original while featuring a thinner bezel as well -- right, just as the rumors and our own sources have said. Such a display would also enable some tapering of the edges in line with those milled aluminum dummies we've seen. The big mystery is still the resolution. A 9to5Mac commenter claims to have deciphered the part number to reveal its LG Phillips 9.7-inch XGA 1024 x 768 H-IPS display origins (same resolution as the current iPad, if true). Unfortunately, we have no way to confirm this. One more pic of the part number details after the break.Update: 9to5Mac posted a few new details. First, it says that the new display is 10 grams lighter. Fine. It then adds cheekily, "Oh, if we told you that the dots on the display matched up with the current display, would you be upset?" Well, would you?
NEC dishes 5 new MultiSync monitors for the pros
NEC just kicked out five new professional MultiSync monitors which do their best to mimic the specs of their 25.5-incher out since January. Of course, any MultiSync panel is interesting, especially the new 22-inch LDC233WXM (¥56,500 / $473), 20-inch LCD203WXM (¥41,500 / $348), and 19-inch LCD193WM. However, as Samsung told us yesterday, it's all about the 24-inch now. No LED back-lighting here folks, but NEC's (¥186,900 / $1,566) LCD2490WUXi does pack the same H-IPS LCD panel, 12-bit look-up tables, and embedded circuitry found in its bigger brother. Likewise, it brings a 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) resolution, 800:1 contrast ratio, 400cd/m2 brightness, and 178-dgree viewing angle only with additional jacks this time: 3x DVI-D (HDCP), 1x DVI-I (HDCP), and 1x D-Sub15. The lesser spec'd (¥129,800 / $ 1,088) LCD2470WNX sports a 1920 x 1200 pixel, 24-inch S-PVA LCD and 2 HDCP-enabled DVI-D jacks with a D-Sub15 thrown in for grins. All hitting Japan on April 24th. Check the entire lineup after the break.
Mitsubishi's Diamondcrysta 25.5-inch LCD monitor
Mitsubishi Diamondcrysta RDT261WH/(BK) is the industries first 25.5-inch H-IPS (High aperture ratio In-Plane Switching) panel. So on top of that Full-HD, 1920x1200 WUXGA resolution, this display also promises both professional color reproduction and control with a decent pixel response time to boot -- "decent" under these terms is measured at 15-ms (7.5-ms intermediate color). The panel features a 750:1 (1500:1 with contrast ratio optimizer) contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, and support for 16.7 million colors. Still, this monitor is just as likely to end up with the well-heeled consumer by hosting 2x HDCP-compliant DVI inputs, a D-Sub 15 if you must, and a 4-port USB 2.0 hub integrated into the chassis. Expected to hit Japan for ¥158,000 (about $1,341) starting November 24th. Not bad pricing, considering.[Via Impress]
