The LG 5K monitor Apple sells doesn't work near WiFi routers
Rather than replace its aging Thunderbolt display, Apple showed off LG's new 27-inch Ultrafine 5K monitor as the perfect mate for the new MacBook Pro when they were introduced last fall. Unfortunately, it sounds like this new display comes with a pretty significant flaw. According to 9to5Mac, the LG Ultrafine 5K becomes extremely unstable or even "unusable" when placed within two meters of a WiFi router. If placed closer, the monitor starts disconnecting and even will crash a computer completely.
LG's 20-inch DX2000 3D monitor uses eye tracking, don't need no glasses to be enjoyed
In our experience, soaking in the third dimension on a panel smaller than 40-some-odd inches isn't exactly a jaw-dropping affair, but if you're residing in cramped quarters... well, your options are somewhat limited. Outside of strapping something on your dome, you'll probably be in the market for a more diminutive set, and LG's DX2000 just might fit the bill. It's a 20-inch LED-backlit 3D monitor, but unlike the legions of alternatives, this one's of the glasses-free variety. It relies on parallax barrier technology (read: not the most sophisticated), but ups the ante by throwing in the world's first eye-tracking feature on a panel of this stature. In theory, said feature allows users to move about in front of the screen, perhaps expanding those exceedingly narrow "sweet spots" that have worried viewers for years now. We're also told that there's a 2D-to-3D conversion feature, and while it's destined to hit Korean streets later this month, other regions are slated to get it during the latter part of 2011.
Rig of the Day: Guitar on the wall
Judging from our Rig of the Day pool, MacBooks are very popular (in fact, I'm typing this on one). Anyway, continuing our theme of simple, I give you a rig that seems to be made for watching movies. The LG flat screen monitor hooked up to a MacBook running Front Row warms the cockles of my heart. The desk is even sporting a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. And is that an Apple sticker I spy on that guitar?New Bedroom 1 by j4mie.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.
