Woojin's dual-LCD monitor gets release date (in Korea)
Last we saw Woojin's Tenbuno monitor, with its 8.4-inch LCD perched atop its 19-inch main display, we weren't sure when it'd ever see the light of day or how much it might cost. Well, we've now got an answer to half of that equation, with AVING reporting that the monitor will hit Korea sometime this May, although the company still seems to be holding on out any pricing details. The monitor itself appears to be otherwise unchanged, with a 1280 x 1024 resolution front and center, and 800 x 600 pixels filing up the secondary display. The primary display also boasts a 700:1 contrast ratio and 8 ms response time, while its little sibling takes things down to 350:1 and 10 ms. Not exactly a substitute for a true dual-monitor setup, but if the price is right, we could see it picking up a few fans among the desk space-challenged.
Woojin slaps an 8.4-inch LCD on top of a 19-inch -- but why?
Here's an odd one: Woojin Inc. is showing off its new line of "Tenbuno" 19-inch LCDs that are normal in every regard... except for a random 8.4-inch "sub-screen" jutting out of the top. Yeah, weird, right? AVING, who spied this in the flesh, recommends a bit of home shopping TV up top, but we can't really make up our minds what we'd use that extra 8.4-inches of freedom for. Alls we know is that the boring old rectangular LCD on our desk just lost half its charm. Oh how you tease us, Woojin! As for specs, the 19-incher sports a 1280 x 1024 resolution, while the 8.4-incher hits 800 x 600 pixels. If up top ain't your style, the LCD can rotate so you can watch 8.4-inches of "Home Shopping Network" down below. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to see how far duct tape can get us in this direction.
