Mimo has put out two new USB-powered monitors with a modern twist. Called the Mimo Magic Touch, the two models are still basically 10.1-inch secondary mini-screens that extend your Windows 7 desktops, but adds capacitive touch tech that’ll let you tap intuitively on the screen (tablet-like) in place of using a regular mouse.
If you’re like us, then one display just won’t cut it for work. Let’s face it: even on a desktop setup that already comes with a 22-inch widescreen, things just happen to be easier when you have extra screen real estate to work with. For those reasons, moving from your office’s multi-monitor desktop to a single laptop monitor on the road can be a tough adjustment. Here’s a quick solution from AOC: they just announced a 15.6-inch mobile LCD display that uses a single USB 2.0 connection for both power and data. That single USB connection makes it a cinch to pack, set up, and connect, and, well, you get less cable clutter.
LG has unveiled the D2000 (or the DX2000 if you’re in Korea), a 20-inch computer monitor that they’re touting as the world’s first to rock a glasses-free 3D display. The effect comes from a combination of two 3D-specific technologies: a parallax barrier 3D display, and a built-in camera sensor that tracks your eye movement. The two techs work together to let you enjoy the 3D effect without being restricted to a certain angle range (so you can move your head freely while using it) and without having to don a goofy pair of 3D glasses. No word on pricing yet, but it’s listed to be out in Korea this month, followed by an international release “in the latter part of 2011.” Official press release after the break.
There are slim LCD displays, and there are really slim displays. LG’s 21.5-inch E2290V? It’s not only slim at 7.2mm (which LG described as their slimmest ever), it’s also fast enough for high-end gaming and HD videos. For $450, here’s what you get when this monitor gets launched next year: a full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) LED-backlit screen, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 luminance, and a 2ms response time that makes it good enough for 3D gaming using Nvidia’s 3D Vision kit. The rear inputs include analog, digital and HDMI ports, plus a package that includes LG’s Image Boosting software for enhancing videos from streaming sites like YouTube. The exterior design’s definitely a looker too. We’re suckers for shiny things. Larger photos after the break.
Here’s something that most anyone wouldn’t mind adding to an existing desktop or laptop: a 9-inch touchscreen that connects via USB. Called the iMo Eye9, this display features a 1024 x 600 resolution for adding nine more inches of screen real estate to PCs and Macs. Completely powered by USB, the Eye9 also comes with a detachable 1.3MP webcam for video chatting, and a stylus that also doubles as a stand.
